A guy in front of me, driver's car.
00:01
I want him to be able to push up the barricades.
00:05
Oh, this is kind of ridiculous.
00:08
Do y'all see all those cars that are taking a right? Going in on Grand, turning around and coming back out.
00:14
Do you see this silver car in front of me backing up? Now he's trying to go through other cars.
00:19
You'll see him in a 2nd.
00:21
Oh, there he is.
00:22
What's he going to do, jump the island?
00:24
Oh, we get stuck.
00:26
I hope he bellies.
00:27
Look at it, he's going backwards.
00:28
He's doing it.
00:30
I hope he gets his underbody stuck right on the concrete.
00:34
He found him on it, but I think he just 2nd guessed and was like, oh maybe I shouldn't do that.
00:40
I almost could go stand behind us and just flag traffic and some people turn around.
00:45
I mean they're past Nicollet now.
00:48
It starts sitting there on the other side of the light.
00:51
Yeah, it's still a figure out, but I don't know what's down front.
00:54
It's going to block the whole road when this thing finally happens.
00:56
Goes.
00:58
Watch this black Toyota on your left.
01:00
Oh, she's going to go for the median I think.
01:03
Oh, she almost backed into my plow.
01:06
(name withheld), I set up my parking brake.
01:08
I am not moving this truck because if somebody backs into me and hits me, not going to be my fault.
01:14
I set mine right away and I'm not going to try to go anywhere because that's all the same thing.
01:19
Well, those guys can go around if they back into us, it's not our fault.
