First 90 secondsSpeaker 00:00
[sighs] Great. I should have gone the other way.
Speaker 10:03
What's going on? Why is there so much traffic?
Speaker 00:07
Looks like they're doing construction.
Speaker 10:09
Construction? But isn't the road already built?
Speaker 00:12
Maybe they're fixing it.
Speaker 10:13
Did the road break?
Speaker 00:15
I don't know. I just hear construction. Look, those orange cones and flashing arrows. It's definitely construction.
Speaker 10:25
Awesome. I'm gonna be late for soccer practice. Why do they have to fix the road now?
Speaker 00:30
I'm gonna ask the man in the hard hat waving the red flag how long this is gonna take. Excuse me, do you know what they're doing and how much longer this'll take?
Adam Tex Davis· Host0:43
Oh, hey. I'm not actually a construction worker. I'm the trusty narrator for the Who Smarted? podcast.
Speaker 00:49
So why are you wearing a hard hat and waving a red flag?
Adam Tex Davis· Host0:53
Oh, these. Uh, I, uh, found them by the side of the road when I was walking. I couldn't help playing with them.
Speaker 30:59
Hey, buddy. Give me my hat and flag. Only I get to do that.
Adam Tex Davis· Host1:04
Sorry, here you go. Remember kids, hard hats and flags are not toys to be played with near construction sites. Speaking of, what's going on here?
Speaker 31:14
What does it look like we're doing? We're fixing the road.
Speaker 11:20
The road's broken?
Speaker 31:22
No, but it's pretty beat up with potholes from all these cars, trucks, and buses driving on it day after day.
