Henry reacts to a chart showing San Francisco ranked #7 in traffic congestion: "Oh, that's ugly. Boy, that's ugly. Not the chart itself, but the number." He notes that San Franciscans spend approximately 78 hours per year stuck in traffic. Henry introduces the guest as "a bearer of bad tidings" — a traffic analyst responsible for the data. Classic Henry: making dry data entertaining.
