You're big on live versions. Like every time you come back, it's the live version of the song.

**Hoff** (0:05)
It's not purposeful.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:07)
It's just the easiest thing to get on YouTube.

**Gallo** (0:09)
Yeah.

**Hoff** (0:09)
Yeah. I hear you.

But no woman, no cry. The great Bob Marley, nothing more summary. Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffett. That's that you want summer vibes. That's it right there.
As we get ready for a summer weekend. And that reminds me, I wanted to talk about as if we're driving some, a rule of the road, because I encountered a certain kind of person last night that I'm sorry you need to talk to.
Because it's gotten more popular. But last night, I had someone behind me. And here's the first rule of the road for me.
If someone in front of you, like if I, or if you're driving, if I'm doing 15 miles an hour over the speed limit in the left lane, right? If you're in the left lane, and you're doing 15 miles over the speed limit, and I heard Evan talking about speed limit earlier today.
But if you're doing 15 miles over, whatever it is, if you're doing 50 in a 35, you're doing 80 in a 65, whatever. If you're doing 15 miles over the speed limit, and you're going faster than everybody in the lane next to you, I ain't moving over. I don't count how many times you flash your light at me. I don't count how up my butt you want to be on the road. If I'm meeting those two criteria, you can go around. I'm doing 15 over, and it's not like they're speaking. I'm going faster than everybody in the lane over. I'm not moving over and getting stuck behind someone because you're flashing your lights. Then when I try and get over, it's going to be tough because the left lane is full of people. No, no, no. If I am meeting those two criteria, I'm not moving over for you. 15 over and I'm going faster than everybody to the right of me, I'm not moving over. And here's the person that needs talking to. And I've seen this a bunch now, and it happened to me last night.
If you have a bunch of nonsense and tchotchkes and little ducks in a row, if you have a bunch of stuff under your window and on your dashboard, you have no right to honk at me, flash your lights at me or be annoyed I'm not driving fast enough. If you want to turn your car into some sort of like back living room or porch, where you have all your crap on it to make the driving experience more for you and more like your element and you're in your car with all your crap and your little ducks and your like tons of crap on your dashboard. If that's how you want to drive, then you like being in your car and stop rushing me because that's obnoxious. When I see the person in the back has 35 ducks lined up on their dashboard and they're trying to tell me to move over, screw you pal. You seem happy in that car. You want to be in that car. You went to the store and bought all that crap to put in your car because you like to see it while you drive. Enjoy it. Don't be riding. I'm sorry. If you turned your car into some sort of hookah bar, that's what I think of. It looked like that. It was all this stuff. If you've turned it into some sort of hash den, then you relax and don't bust my shoes because that's obnoxious, man. I couldn't take so much crap up on the dash and he's honking at me. When he finally gets around me, he's looking at me like, I'm doing 15 over, nobody's going faster than me. And you've set your car up like it's like an 85 year old woman's bedroom. Like stop, cat mom. Like stop.

**Hoff** (3:55)
Was it a Jeep?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:56)
No, it wasn't a Jeep. But I know the ducks are very popular with Jeeps.

**Hoff** (3:59)
I thought that was a Jeep thing.

**Chris McMonigle** (4:01)
I don't know. I don't think it's just that it looked like little ducks. It might not have been ducks. Maybe I'm conflating the Jeep people who do the ducks. But it was little figurines. And it was across the entire dash. And then other hula girls.
And it was a gentleman. The dash had so much crap on it. Like if you took the time out of setting up your dashboard because you like to be in the car and want those things, then you like being in your car and you can wait. You can wait.
