What this episode covers

Here is the full transcript from the audio clip: Bill Frady: All right, let's go to the phones to the Kid. Yes, sir. Caller (The Kid): Yes, sir. How are you doing, Mr. Bill? I hope your 4th of July was blessed and you still got all your digits on your fingers, on your hands. Bill Frady: I do. I counted earlier today. Caller (The Kid): Absolutely, absolutely. Bill Frady: I wasn't wearing my glasses. I actually had a few more than I thought I should have, but uh I, you know... it was more than ten, anyway. Caller (The Kid): Absolutely, absolutely. I got a little gripe I want to put on right here. Okay. I live in the little, the great little town of Norris. And we have three bridges out around us, I'd say within a 5-to-7-mile radius. Bill Frady: Yeah. Caller (The Kid): But yet, down on—on Liberty Highway and Brow Road, they're going to build their self a $3 million roundabout. I would just like for everybody to get on the same page and how about get these bridges fixed before we start building these roundabouts. You can put up a $60,000 red light, have everybody happy at that four-way, and fix the bridges. All right. Day in the morning. Bill Frady: I—roundabouts always sort of uh confuse me because I'm sure a roundabout is meant to slow down and dilute the traffic from the breakneck pace that everybody seems to drive. But at the same time, uh around here—and I would put myself probably in the middle of this—uh a lot of people don't know how to use those. They seem really dangerous. It's sort of like trying to time yourself jumping onto a merry-go-round that's spinning and a blur, trying to figure out, "Okay, I'm going to grab the horsey when it comes by." Uh, why are they building a roundabout? Caller (The Kid): I have no idea, but they're like—they had to buy up like people's property and all that, and they're putting in this big old humongous roundabout. They're getting ready to block off, I guess, 178 here shortly, going to uh from Liberty to—uh, I'm sorry, Anderson to uh Easley. But uh I mean, it's just—it—it's—they got three bridges out, you know, I got to take the long way to Seneca now. I got to go down through downtown Clemson and all that about. Or I got to, you know, the back way into Clemson is out now because there's a bridge out there. Then there's a bridge out on uh Chastain. We can't get down to 123, so we got to figure another way around that. Now they're just going to take out—man, somebody down in—well, I was about to say somebody down in Columbia get on the right horse, but great day in morning. You know, they're looking and left down there. Bill Frady: Well, I—the other thing I look at roundabouts as is when you have somebody that maybe is not familiar with the area, I—I have a different name for the roundabout. I call that a launch ramp. Caller (The Kid): I ain't lying. I'll tell you something else, too. Never go to Washington, go to that Marine—Marine Memorial. Oh my word, that roundabout—uh I can remember my dad's nightmare in that. That's why I've never gone back to Washington. Bill Frady: Are you pulling Gs when you're on that one when you—when you jump— Caller (The Kid): You're on that, and it's hard to get out of it, too. Yes, sir. Bill Frady: Okay, okay. All right. Well, do you— Go ahead. Do you feel better now that you've gotten that off your chest? Caller (The Kid): I—I do a little bit. I hope somebody down in Columbia hears this, but, you know, you know how it is down there, anyway. Bill Frady: Well, they're probably taking the day off. Caller (The Kid): Absolutely. So they'll probably be back in two weeks. Well, that—you have a blessing, sir. Bill Frady: Thank you, sir. I appreciate the call. Bye-bye. [sighs] It's hard to get out there and generalize what makes a Democratic Socialist. Um, but they—they do have some common traits. Most represent a very small slice of American life. Almost all of them are urban. They have no point of reference for anything small-town or rural. ...
