Finally, that zippercruder.com-zip. The virtue! Jeff got to live out of fantasy yesterday, and not only for him, but I think for all of us have at least had this thought in our minds at one point or another. It's, uh, and I gotta tell you, Bert asked me this morning when I came in. How it felt, and it felt better than I expected. This is so funny. I got it. I gotta be honest with you. Because it started with that Mike Tyson story. Yeah, Mike Tyson couldn't get through the gate of a community that he was visiting. Gate wasn't an open and fast enough or that wasn't accepting his code, so he just rammed it. Yeah, generally, I think if you have a tattoo on your face,

2:01you don't take no for an answer. So, uh, so there was a picture that messed up gate in the news, and gendered the story and entertainment buzz. So we started talking about that and talking about how we all have these weird frustrations in the car that, uh, all have to do with patience, like waiting for the arm to go up so you can leave the airport parking lot or any parking garage, you know, so you gotta put your, like, I have a very vivid memory of when Hayden was born leaving Northside Hospital. And we went to the wrong gate, but I didn't notice it, and it wouldn't open, and I remember sitting there going, I'm gonna have to ram it. I'm gonna have to ram the gate. Thank you, baby Hayden. But then, then you see the sign that says this, this entrance or exit closes at 10 p.m. Please use whatever I'm like a crap, right? Because the sign's up, then you don't have an excuse to ram it. So that's been living in the back of my head and it, in it, it rears itself whenever I'm in a parking garage, or when I'm cruising through a parking lot and I just see one lonely grocery cart.

3:06I hear that theme from, you know, that the good, bad, and ugly. Like, there should be, yeah, there should be tumbleweeds. There should be tumbleweeds going, tumbleweeds blowing by. And I'm like, you look a little trigger, you're a little handkerchief. Yeah, you're shifting in. Yeah, I'm ready, ready to go. Yeah, you know, like, I can get up to throw a gear back time. I hit it. So, I, I've mentioned that we were talking about the Mike Tyson thing, and a listener called up and said, look, if you want to live out this fantasy, I've got a van. I just bought a new car. I've got a van that's like 20 years old. It's on its last leg, which is actually funny, because I got a phone call while they were setting up for it, that the van stalled. Oh, really? In our intern, Jason had to go get his car and get cables and jump the van to get it started. There's a three handy, there's a three kidnapping maximum on any van. And I think he's probably kidnapped three people. He's got to turn it over to the next.

4:06So, you know, so they get the van running, and they call me up, and they go, okay, so we're ready for you. Come on down. So, Melissa and I go downstairs. And the, like, they had, I don't know, I'm bad at distances. 50 yards away. Yeah, I am too. But we turn the corner from our office building to get there. And we both, it went both stopped, and we were like, that is exactly what we thought that van would like. But there's the van, and it's running, and it's got, you know, it's chilly outside, so, and I think the engine's a little bit jacked up, because it is, I mean, I think you said it's an 85. Is the exhaust kind of puttering out of the back and puffs? But it's big puffs of white smoke. That's great. So, you'll see that in the video. Big puffs of white smoke, so the van is running, and then 50, 60 yards down the parking lot is just one lonely grocery. There it is. Come say, hit me, hit me, boy, take me out. And this is in a parking lot where there's like some construction going on, but the, obviously, with the economy, this project has been stalled, so it's completely empty. There's no one in the parking lot, so it's ours.

5:09So, as soon as I see it, I get excited. I'm like, oh, this is a dangling advantage. It's gonna be fun, so I'm talking to Melissa. And she's gonna do like an intro, like kind of do a play-by-play thing for it. And then I'm gonna ram the cart. And so I'm getting over there, and I see our webmaster and the guy who's our videographer. And he says, okay, ready to do this? I said, yep, and he goes, okay, well, just so I'm on record as saying, so you could die. And I'm like, excuse me? And he goes, just wanna go on record as saying, the car could come up through the windshield, the car could go flying down over the hill. All this others, the van could explode, the brakes could fail. Like, he goes over every possible doomsday, and I'm like, why are you doing this? I'm liviating him. Right, and he goes, because that way, if anybody asks, because he was the only employee out there, because we had all of our interns were down there. Rich was down there, and Jeff goes down there, and Jason was down there. But the only paid employee was our videographer, and he's like, so I just, everybody heard that, right?

6:10Jeff could die or be named. And I'm like, I say it's worth it. Yeah, I say it's worth it. I am not responsible for what happens to Jeff's brain when the shards of metal go through. Right, so I mean, this van is held together. Like, I told the guy I wanted the window rolled down, you know, and so I tried to roll. He goes, no, it doesn't look like that. And he pulls the door apart, takes a screwdriver out, and then the window just falls into the door. Have we all had a car like that at one point or another where you can point to anything in the vehicle, and it's just not working. Like the glove compartment, every time you go around a right turn, the glove compartment opens up. Also, I actually had a passenger side door that would open, so there was a bungee cord that was attached to the passenger side door and to the console in the middle of the emergency brake. And that's the way I kept the door shut. So, so we're ready to go, and we're ready to, we're ready to do this. So, Melissa does a little bit of an intro, and then I hop in the van, and I make one nice, strong, and only took one. And her fly, yeah. Mainly cause, and you'll see this in the video. Can we do one? Mainly because I don't know if the van could have handled two.

7:12You got it. Well, I think when you, when I got there, yeah, when I thought, I got there, I said, who's gonna win the van or the car? Cause everybody just assumes that the car is gonna be airborne and go 50, 100 feet in the car. It's just this little drinky-dink thing. Not if the van is from 1982. I think it'd be surprised. And it's a pretty good handicap. All right, so we're gonna play the audio from the video here. The video is now up online on our website at q100Atlanta.com. And we'll see if it prints on the air also. Can we watch, can we watch? Yeah, you can go over there and watch the, so Melissa, you haven't seen this yet, have you? I mean, you lived it, but you haven't seen it. We all have vanities when we're in traffic. You know, you're frustrated and you just wanna move ahead, and so you wanna ram the car in front of you, but you don't, you have the fantasy, don't do it. We talked on the bird show about that, but Jeff's fantasy is not a car in front of him. It's a shopping car. He's like, you know, there's so many random shopping carts in parking lots, it's like, just one time I wanna gun it, and I wanna hit the shopping cart. Well, you know what, we want to make Jeff dollars fantasy come. I'm so excited. We are here today about to get into a van. Thanks to Bert Show, Lizard. Wow.

8:12That's a sexy van. Yeah, you know what, that's the kind of van that you see on the side of the road. It's just been pulled over by nine cops with like 400 pounds a week. We're 400 people at all times. Let's do it. You the Rocky theme. I'm getting in a love movie. It's a beige 70s color van, and see with brown trim. All right, here we go. No hubcaps. Look at the exhaust. That's awesome. You ain't smoke. It's nasty. There it comes. Get it boy. Get it. Damn, sir. Damn. No, I didn't go as far as I thought it would go. So. The door got stuck shut. And the cart is just lonely and on its side.

9:13And the front of the van is just jacked up. Just sitting in that van is priceless. That's right there. You've got good car things. So that's a lot and right and fresh and look at. The car is fine. The car not damaged and the van fender has, and the bumper has fallen off, but the car is in perfect working. That's why people use those on the after Thanksgiving sale to ram people because it's cars are sturdy. Yes, like don't ever do it. It's so funny. Good morning, Q100. Good morning. Good morning. I know how deaf and much failing must be liberating because I deliver mail. If it's unreasoned, people think that every person they need to put their trash can in front of the mailbox. And I just want to come through the neighborhood and take out every trash can that is in front of the mailbox. I do not want to smell your trash. Well, I'm trying to put your mail in the box.

10:15Yeah, Jeff lived this for you yesterday. He is in the form of a shopping cart, but he did this for you. Thank you for all of it. He did this for all of them. And I don't want to encourage this because it's jacked up. I get that I gave birth a piece of the van. Like it is, yeah, don't try this at home. Yes, I do car will take a beating. Yes, it's not worth it. It feels so good, but seriously, don't do it. Now here's my question. Do you think that now when you see grocery carts, you're going to want to ram them more than before? It's the worst possible thing I could have done. I want to run over everything now. You're an addict now, man. It feels so great. The virtue.
