EP. 124 "FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE!"....THE DRUNK SHOW Part Deux

How many drinks does it take before you swear you’re fine, even when your body is clearly not? We put that question on a timer and a breathalyzer, turning a Friday night live hang into a public service experiment with real numbers, real impairment, and a hard line about never driving after drinking.

Ben runs “Drunk Show Part Deux” the only way that makes sense: shots on a strict 10 minute schedule, frequent BAC checks, and constant reminders that confidence is not competence. You’ll hear the breathalyzer readings climb from 0.00 into the danger zone, including crossing the 0.08 legal limit and pushing beyond 0.10, while the conversation stays focused on responsible drinking, DUI risk, and the simple choices that save lives.

Along the way, friend and guest Larry Reedy drops in to talk podcasts, whiskey, and the kind of community projects that keep you out of trouble. Back in studio, we get practical about drunk driving prevention: designated drivers, Uber and Lyft, why BAC can keep rising after you stop, and how tools like ignition interlock devices fit into enforcement.

Then we take it outside for a field sobriety test, including eye tracking and balance tests, and the results are exactly why “just a couple” can turn into a terrible decision. If you care about safe nights out, hit play, share this with a friend who “drives better buzzed,” and leave a review letting us know your personal rule for getting home safely.

SPEAKER_05 2:34

That was. That was a mouthful. We're making sure our ringers are off. We are live, Friday night live drunk show part due. So before we get into it, let me explain. Oh, I gotta put a timer on this.

SPEAKER_06 2:47

When do we get to start drinking?

SPEAKER_05 2:50

I gotta put a timer on.

SPEAKER_06 2:51

Oh, wait, where's our glasses at?

The Safety Purpose Of Drinking

SPEAKER_05 2:55

There's one for you, and there's one for me. Okay, let me put the timer on. Uh I gotta set it. Okay, it's it's on. All right, good. Now, so um this is a very special episode. It is my public service announcement to all you guys out there. Um, I'm really hardcore on being responsible if you're gonna be drinking, not drinking, and driving, all that good stuff. Okay. Uh, it's just been a thing for me since I was very, very young. So this is a serious message. And this isn't something where you're gonna watch Ben get hammered just for the sake of it. All right. Um, look at this guy here. Um, the point is, I'm gonna drink, so you don't have to. I'm gonna get drunk, so you don't have to. All right. And you can see the effects of alcohol on me. I'm six foot, about 205 pounds. Not everybody is my size. Some people are a little bit bigger, some people are a little bit smaller, especially you ladies out there. So um, yeah, so I'm you're gonna see how it has an effect on me. Um, and maybe you'll learn from that. Okay. This isn't gonna be just, oh, every you know, 10 minutes, we're gonna watch Ben take a shot and then we're gonna watch him fall on the floor. Nothing like that. It's gonna be a regular, regular show, just like usual. We're gonna have some fun. That's why Brother Jim is here. I'll actually I'll tell you the big reason why Brother Jim is here, because I had a friend scheduled to be here. I'm the B team. Yeah, you are. Jim was Jim was gonna be here anyway. He just wasn't gonna be in studio, but I had a friend scheduled to be here tonight. Let me do something here first. Let me put a banner up, and it's right there. And um about quarter to 12 today, I get a phone call from my buddy, my buddy Raul. And he says, Oh man, I'm so sorry. You're not gonna believe it, Ben. And I'm not gonna get into all the particulars because it's actually a very, very serious matter. Um, but he says, I don't think I'm gonna make it. I'll let you know in a couple hours.

SPEAKER_06 5:26

Explosive diarrhea?

SPEAKER_05 5:28

No, no, no, no, no. It's no a serious matter, not nothing like that. More like a life and death matter. So uh I said, okay, you know, and then I he texted me a little while after that, uh uh probably about four o'clock our time, and he says, yeah, not gonna make it. And I said, I didn't think so, but that's okay. But everything's okay with Raul himself, okay. So we don't have to worry about that. It was, but it had it was work related. So nonetheless, uh, I called Jim. I said, You're coming home coming over, right? He says, Yep. I said, Okay, then I need you to be up in studio because tonight was a two-man, a two-man show. And uh, so I needed to have that chair filled over there. Um, what I've got going on is Oh, I feel special. Yeah, I know. I've got a timer going on my phone here. Um, what's gonna happen is I'm gonna be taking a drink every 10 minutes of this fine stuff right here. Cava de oro, extra año, tequila, same stuff I had last year. Same, same stuff. Fresh bottle, just bought it last week. Um, and I, you know, I can't just say, hey, okay, Jim, come in the studio and get drunk with me. No, I'm not gonna do that. Raul was going to do that. Raul was going to do that because that's just what he wanted to do. But uh, I'm not gonna put that on Jim. He's more than welcome to have a drink or two, but we got to make sure he gets home safely as well. So um I don't need to punish him.

SPEAKER_06 7:11

SPEAKER_06 8:38

This one I toned down, it's not as sweet as batch, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 8:41

Okay. But it's one of those that um Jim Jim likes to use it on the ladies, you know, to make them you know, get all loosey-goosey.

SPEAKER_15 8:52

There goes the name Hoochie Coochie.

SPEAKER_05 8:56

So um, all right. So we are at I got four minutes to go before I take my first drink. So what I'm gonna do, um And I got Scotty, is that because I'm a space cadet? Um I didn't really. I I thought, you know, you're kind of like the engineer, you know. You're you're what keeps you're what keeps the ship going.

SPEAKER_07 9:17

Okay, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:18

So I did that, and uh now opening this for the very first time. You see, I'm breaking the seal here, people. Oh.

SPEAKER_06 9:26

And this is the guy that lifts weights and he can't get a freaking bottle of the boos open.

SPEAKER_05 9:31

I can't see there's plastic on here. Let me get that off. Uh good thing uh my timer hasn't gone off yet. Ah, there it is.

SPEAKER_04 9:43

There it is. Maybe not. There it is. There we go. No, let's put some glasses on so I can see what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_05 9:58

Okay. Just like when you're a kid, if it you can't get it off with your hands, you use your teeth.

SPEAKER_06 10:04

You don't have a knife?

SPEAKER_05 10:05

Not in the studio, I don't. I don't even have scissors inside the studio.

SPEAKER_06 10:12

Yeah, I can understand that. Keep all sharp objects away from you.

SPEAKER_05 10:15

Yeah, I don't trust myself. There we go. Got all plastic off. Excellent. Now I'll break the seal. There it is. Okay. I don't know if you guys can see that at home, but in the cap, there's a shot right there, right inside the cap. There's some good stuff. Okay. You know what? I'm gonna at least let you drink one or two. So yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_06 10:40

What the fuck? That's why I'm here.

SPEAKER_05 10:45

Oh, Jimmy. Jimmy, hold on. We're drinking together.

SPEAKER_06 10:50

I'm smelling, I'm smelling. Don't get your pennies all water.

First Shot And Baseline BAC

SPEAKER_05 10:55

Ah, okay. I won't. I promise. So um, here's the deal. Before I take this drink, I'm going to check my BAC so that you guys know I'm clean to start. You know what's sad? Okay.

SPEAKER_06 11:17

And he's not even gonna sip it. He's gonna pound it.

SPEAKER_05 11:20

Yeah. Well, look, I I I know we're doing shots, and we normally don't do shots. We don't. We normally just whatever it is we're drinking, we enjoy it. We sip it.

SPEAKER_06 11:31

This would this would usually last a half an hour.

SPEAKER_05 11:36

Uh right. Yeah, if we had it in a in a rock's glass or something, yeah, you're right. It would last uh about a half hour. Um, but uh anyway, so uh I'm going to check my BAC um before we get started. I did eat a little bit. Um also, I need to let you guys know. 15 minutes before we go live tonight. Some of you may know and some of you may not know. I'm a migraine headache sufferer. Okay. And I talked about this last year, how I roofied myself many years ago. Uh, I started to get one. It started coming on. Yeah, it started coming on 15 minutes before we go live. And I was like, great, I cannot take my migraine medicine. And Catherine's like, why? I said, no, no. I said, I'll be on the floor. I've I've done that before. I roofied myself. And so I loaded up on caffeine because caffeine's really good for all kinds of headaches. So we're gonna really see how this goes. Just couldn't, you know, it's things are just falling in line here perfectly, right? Uh, I think the timer's about ready. We got like 15 seconds, and I do have a very special guest who's gonna join us in a few minutes here once we get rolling. Um, but uh yeah, we're gonna get this first drink down.

SPEAKER_06 13:04

Oh wow. And do we need to bring dollar bills?

SPEAKER_05 13:06

No, no, you don't need to bring any bill. Okay, there, there's uh let's repeat it. Okay, good. Oh, I guess it'd probably help if I turned it on. There it is. It's turned on.

SPEAKER_06 13:21

You're just gonna blow hard.

SPEAKER_04 13:23

Stupid.

unknown 13:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 13:34

It's calculating. You can't see it, but it says zero point zero zero. Okay, so we are at zero percent BAC, and I'm gonna stop that timer and restart it once I take this drink.

SPEAKER_06 13:51

I have a question. Go ahead, drink. Because I want to drink too.

SPEAKER_05 13:53

Okay, here we go. Down the hatch.

SPEAKER_06 13:59

I'm gonna savor my okay.

SPEAKER_05 14:01

My question is you can savor yours. My question is that is so good.

SPEAKER_06 14:05

After you drink that, how long do you have to wait before you can do a sample?

SPEAKER_05 14:12

So what I'm going to oh, so what I'm gonna do is now that I took a drink, I'm going to wait till right before I take the third drink. So I'm gonna give two, I'm gonna give 20 minutes. So I'll give 10 minutes now. I I was looking at my notes from last year, and if you guys remember, you guys were here last last year when we did this. Tess was sitting in this chair, and she was documenting everything the blood alcohol content, um, and all that good stuff. What time did we take that drink? We took that drink at 6.14.

SPEAKER_04 14:44

Okay, first drink at 614. And it was 0.00.

Quick Notes And Shoutouts

SPEAKER_05 14:53

Yeah, okay. Tessa's supposed to be documenting this for me, but she's not here right now. God, this is good. It is good, it's absolutely delicious stuff. Okay. Before I bring our guest in, because I see our guest standing by, he's backstage. That sounds so great, so official, doesn't it? Backstage. He's in the green room. Um, let me just say, let me just say something here because, like I told you, this is a regular, the regular show. Regular show. Um, today, oh, let me get my glasses on. I try to read without glasses. Can you believe that? Today is World Sleep Day, Friday the 13th. That's two Fridays the 13ths in a row. Remember, guys, we had one last month.

That's great. We're coming up on it I got like two two more minutes um before I got to take my next drink so I'm gonna time it whenever I whenever I hit 30 seconds to go then I'll take my uh I'll I'll take my breath Elizer here.

SPEAKER_00 36:29

Let me ask you Ben if you were if you weren't doing this with tequila 80 proof tequila yeah and you were doing 130 proof bourbon how long would it take you to really feel feel it I and Larry I couldn't even answer that question because I've never had I think the highest proof uh bourbon I've had was I think 110 proof so I couldn't even tell you and I only had like one or two drinks of that yeah but well the high the high proof stuff you know if you're sipping it it's not being the the first the first drink the finish or the burn as some people call it is fairly dramatic especially if you get up to that 140 145 proof uh like fries ranch or something but and you know once you let that go away then the second taste and the third taste is that that's when you really get to enjoy and my that's how I do with a high proofer really get to enjoy about the third sip.

SPEAKER_05 37:43

Yeah well you Larry and Jim you guys need to get together and not only go bowling but you guys need to get together and and talk bourbons and taste bourbons because you know I I you guys would so I went to the liquor store the other day and um they had this really hard to find uh bottle of bourbon it's called uh George T.

SPEAKER_06 38:07

Stag it's the one that's 156 proof yeah um and that bottle was uh$1900.

SPEAKER_00 38:16

Yeah see that's just crazy and you know the the Buffalo Trace when you get into Pappy Van Winkle I I don't even really like it. I think the best thing that uh Buffalo Trace has is Eagle Rare and and then uh maybe a barrel proof Buffalo Trace but like I don't like Elmer T. Lee I think that'd be like world Blanton's okay and uh oh I I think uh so some of the stuff it's just so overrated there's so many good bourbons out there but I haven't had the 150 proof stack and all right I don't want to interrupt I don't want to interrupt but I gotta take a drink.

SPEAKER_06 39:03

Me too yeah so um I picked up a bottle it's a 100% wheat bill and it is 128 proof and you don't even taste the heat in fact it is so well balanced that um you even at 128 proof you can pick up all the little nuances um it it is just a fantabulous um uh whiskey again it's an all wheat uh which one is it I'd have to go get the name it's um yeah I'd have to get the name I think all your weeded bourbon's really good it's really and most of it is out way it doesn't have the real heavy finish that you you know have to do a double take on the first one but uh I've got some really good weeded bourbon and uh what do you like the Texas bourbons at all Tesco I haven't had any but this is a hundred percent wheat I I've got some hundred percenters too you know Larry it was about as probably almost a year ago Jim and I we did a bourbon tasting on on the podcast and um because we had done one here at the house uh for a large group of people we probably had 20 some odd tasters and we we ran out of i mean we we ran through about uh I think it was like five five or six different uh bourbons and and everybody was scoring them and all that good stuff and we did an official tasting and and so jim and I uh a little while after that we did one here on the podcast and we jim brought a Pappy Van Winkle he brought a Blantons and I don't remember what else he brought but I know I had a McKenna um I don't remember what we had I think we did five of them that night on the podcast and and and what was funny is like when you and we started you know price wise low end to high end and for me I remember that I did like the Pappy's which obviously is the more expensive and the most expensive one but the Blantons was right below that this this was the Blanton's goal the oh yeah the yeah that one I enjoyed the the most yeah yeah yeah it was well I I like the Eagle Rear and the Buffalo Trace thing and uh I'll tell you something funny when we were doing our whiskey and beer tasting you know with a group of guys yeah I would know what they're drinking but they didn't so and we would do like four little whiskeys in these Glenn Cairn glasses and a couple ounces in each one and take our time with them so I threw a ringer at them and and I I put a high proof in there.

SPEAKER_05 42:07

Yeah and after they were done it was really good said well okay just for the heck of it what kind of a price range you into well one guy said it has to be at least 70 oh of course and another guy said I I you're probably in 100 bucks 120 and another one said something like 65 to 70 and you know what it was a benchmark foolproof 21 dollars whoa wow and that was that was 130 proof I think it was 124 or something like that I can't remember but it's you know I I often wondered they got these giant displays of benchmark why the hell's anybody buy a 21 dollar bottle of whiskey it's really good that's why and it's really cheap wow wow I remember on one of your podcasts one of your when you were doing that whiskey uh beer you know tasting series um one of the guys and I can't remember which one really had this hankering for wild turkey yeah and he was like no and this bottle cost me like 40 bucks or something like that and he was like it's fabulous the the really good wild turkey stuff is really good and the 101's not bad but the that was it that was it the 101 the 101 yeah that's only I last time I bought that was 20 something you know that that used to be in high school that used to be the you know the whatever the boons farm of whiskey you know boon's farm yeah so you know you would you get pounded on it and they've really turned that around that is that is such a for that I won't even say for the price point even forget about the price

SPEAKER_06 44:00

That is a doggone good whiskey.

SPEAKER_00 44:03

Yeah, and well, you know, and another one that's a surpriser. Have you had Old Grandad 101?

SPEAKER_06 44:10

No.

SPEAKER_00 44:12

It's you know, 101 proof, and it's really inexpensive, and it's it's really pretty good. And the Jack Daniels good stuff, not their number seven, but the Jack Daniels good stuff, the 125 proofers, really good, good stuff. I like it.

SPEAKER_06 44:29

I'm I have never ever really uh enjoyed a uh Jack Daniels product. That's just that's this just doesn't have the the stuff I like, you know.

SPEAKER_00 44:42

Well, you know, it's the number number two selling brand in the world, and you know what's number one and number three?

SPEAKER_06 44:50

Uh I would say Buffalo Trace would be number one.

SPEAKER_05 44:54

No, makers marks number one, right?

SPEAKER_00 44:57

Jim Beam's number one. Oh, Jim Beam, wow, okay, and number three, Jameson. So number three is best-selling whiskey in the world. Irish whiskey.

SPEAKER_06 45:09

Irish whiskey. So, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 45:12

Wow. Okay. Well, I'm uh yeah, I got I've got three minutes and 50 seconds to go.

SPEAKER_05 45:21

I feel fine right now. I feel fine.

SPEAKER_06 45:24

Uh last sample was 0.02.

SPEAKER_05 45:26

Yeah, when I when I did that breathalyzer, and I'll do one now before I take the next shot just to see where it's at.

SPEAKER_00 45:32

But I was that a two-ounce or one ounce.

SPEAKER_05 45:35

No, it's a two-ounce.

SPEAKER_00 45:36

Two ounce, okay. Oh, no, you're going to two ounces here.

SPEAKER_06 45:40

Larry, I ain't no sissy here. He had just put uh three tacos in his belly, also.

SPEAKER_00 45:45

Oh, well, yeah, tonight I had before I we we had dinner around two hours before I was on your program, and uh I had a really nice halibut with some potatoes, tomatoes, and there you go. Yes, and and you know, with no no waste on fish like that. No, you have a six-ounce piece of halibut with a piece of cheese on, and uh oh wow, that's a nice one right there.

SPEAKER_05 46:15

Yeah, yeah, halibut's a good one. I'm not I'm not a seafood guy, but I'll halibut. I'll have some halibut though, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_00 46:23

Do you know that's what McDonald's started with their fish sandwich was a halibut? Really? And now it's like$22 a pound. So it's it's not something you don't eat all the time, but they actually started with that as a halibut, went to a cod, temporarily went back to a halibut. Now they're on some kind of just strange white fish.

SPEAKER_05 46:48

It's it's yeah, it's probably a blend of pollock and cod or something like that, you know.

SPEAKER_00 46:54

Uh uh the Alaskan cod's really good, it's not like a regular cod.

SPEAKER_03 46:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 47:00

And uh, but it's uh how halibut and and sockeye are co host salmon from Alaska. That's my favorite fish.

SPEAKER_05 47:09

There you go. So um, all right, wait, hang on. I got why'd I get there? We go had something on my screen here I needed to get rid of. I don't know why it popped up, but it did. Uh okay. So uh all right. I got another one for you. Why did the beer go to college on St. Patrick's Day?

SPEAKER_00 47:31

Why did the beer go to college on St. Patrick's Day? This is so stupid.

SPEAKER_05 47:37

It was I can't imagine. It wanted to be extra stout. Oh my. That's I know that is so lame. That is so lame. Look, of course, I didn't write these myself, but I did look them up. I like, look, I need something stupid to you know to get me through this this podcast, but but I'll say uh because you asked me earlier, and right now I feel fine, I feel normal. Um I don't feel any different right now. I'm still good. I feel like I'm still in control, very much so. It honestly doesn't even feel like I've had a drink yet, and I'm three three drinks down, so I'm six ounces into this into this one here. Um, but so far, so good.

SPEAKER_00 48:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 48:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:24

You know, you stop talking about those jokes like that. And I told you I did my AI thing with Nancy and I in Ireland and all this stuff. So I I gave my seven children a sneak preview of what's going on.

SPEAKER_03 48:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:42

And my one son texted me and said, you know, this is National Down syndrome month, and you're fit right in.

SPEAKER_00 50:10

Yeah, well, see, and the thing is, you're not taking a full 20 minutes either to do the breathalyzer, and which so that is that's really good.

SPEAKER_05 50:20

Let me t let me take it. 651. You want to take one?

SPEAKER_06 50:24

SPEAKER_05 51:05

Yeah, hang on. Yeah, wait till it wait till it shuts down and then reset it. That yeah, something had to be wrong with that one. Maybe you still had some of my breath in there.

SPEAKER_03 51:20

That's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_00 51:21

Well, you know, after I watched your show, I went out and bought one of those, and and then we did it. And it it's really, I mean, it's really amazing. And first, and when they tell you how late you should, how long you should wait, uh, before there's nothing there.

SPEAKER_05 51:38

It's a great thing. It's you know, and what it's like a 70 or 80 dollar investment for these little things. You know, for it's not much, but for that amount of money, it is so worth it if you're gonna because Catherine always has it with her when we're out one eight point one eight.

SPEAKER_06 51:55

Okay, so what it is is I just sipped on this. That's what I was wondering.

SPEAKER_05 52:00

How long does that have to be out of the okay, be out of 20 minutes?

SPEAKER_00 52:04

So here's 20 minutes is the recommended thing.

SPEAKER_05 52:07

Yeah, so here's what we'll do we'll give it like five or six minutes and then do it again.

SPEAKER_06 52:12

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_05 52:14

Yeah, before you finish that. So, anyway, uh look, down the hatch for you, Larry. Hey, all right, look, I'm gonna cut you loose, but before I cut you loose, tell everybody again where they can find your podcast.

SPEAKER_06 52:29

What is your podcast about?

SPEAKER_05 52:31

Wait, now that Jim's choking on one many things right now.

SPEAKER_00 52:36

It's the president's uh that ends in May. And after, and then the July 4th ends my journey, and I'm also doing states. I do one every day, and and then I got one on Wednesday, one on Sunday. When the uh president ends, then I start with my Good Samaritan podcast, which I've already recorded, 15 of those, and I go from like the first one's Paul Newman, and you know, talk about philanthropy, unbelievable. And then I go to somebody you never heard of, and I've I've been doing that, and then in um when the July uh 5th comes around, I'm gonna be doing movie reviews, and then uh on a Saturday once in a while I'll do a gun review, but uh it's uh it's something, and and I don't know if I told you this, but uh I uh a friend of mine owns this historic theater here in yes, no, you did, but go ahead and share with the audience.

SPEAKER_05 53:51

That's okay. Yes, you did.

SPEAKER_00 53:52

We talked about it last week, and I I said, you know, uh Kim, how about a classic movie? Well, yeah, we can get them. I said, Well, let's try something. So we're doing on the uh 9th of April The Godfather, and you know, he's got this beautiful theater, but what was funny, the way he gets the Godfather, they download it direct to his digital projector, yeah, and then they give him a key the day he's gonna use it to click on the sound. But I I had um I used my AI and I made uh a poster quality stuff, so I got 21 posters out and I put them on about 25 different websites, and the people seemed very excited. We're gonna have a showing at two and one at seven, and the two o'clock is to get the non-ambulatory people from our next county in this county in to watch the watch the movie in the afternoon and get people out at night. And I told him, I said, as long as we get people in and you want to do it, I said, uh we'll we'll see what six months look like. Because my next movie would be To Catch a Thief, which is an Alfred Hitchcock. The next one would be When School's Out would be Jaws.

SPEAKER_05 55:26

Oh that would be a good one, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:29

Yeah, and I mean there's so many, you know, in my years, so many good movies.

SPEAKER_05 55:34

Now I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, Larry, but you know what? I wasn't able to find your um the the the podcast review that you did on The Godfather. So if you would do me a big favor, just send me the link for it. I looked for it. Yeah, I looked for it on your website and I could I used the search bar and everything.

SPEAKER_00 55:54

I couldn't find it's it's on Facebook. It's on but I post so much, it's probably down the bottom. But I I can I'll I'll just text it.

SPEAKER_05 56:04

Yeah, text it to me. So everyone, it's Larry Reedy's America. That's the name of the podcast, and he's got so many different things that he does within Larry Reedy's America. Um, and you can find Larry Reedy's America at Larryreedy.net. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 56:22

Or all the other podcast sites.

SPEAKER_05 56:25

Yeah, or where you know, wherever you get your podcast, just like this one right here, wherever you get your podcast, just search Larry Reedy's America and you'll find it.

SPEAKER_00 56:33

Well, and and the thing is, like Pod the reason I use Podbean, see I mut like iHeart and some of those, uh, they'll they'll keep a hundred of your podcast. Yeah. But see, with Podbean, I could have two thousands on there, and they could go back and look at any listen to that.

SPEAKER_05 56:54

Yeah, because that's that's your own personal library right there on Podbean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 57:00

I think that's the only one could do it for and I at least for the price. I think it's 120 bucks a year or something like that. And they I don't think they have the best statistics or but I think Buzz Sprout, like I use you use Buzz Sprout, right?

SPEAKER_05 57:17

I do, yes.

SPEAKER_00 57:18

And I think I think they got a great support cast and everything, but for 600 podcasts or so, they they would never keep all that on their site unless you take a carminal leg.

SPEAKER_05 57:32

I'll let you know when I get to 600 episodes, okay?

SPEAKER_00 57:36

Right now I'm only at 124. But now wait a minute, I'm only gonna be 100 in 13 years.

SPEAKER_03 57:43

Yeah, yeah. So I better hurry up, right?

SPEAKER_06 57:47

Is is um 1984 uh George um Orson Wells movie still available?

SPEAKER_03 57:53

George Orwell.

SPEAKER_06 57:54

George Orwell, I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 57:55

I I I think everything's available. It's kind of crazy to get a movie for Miss Company like that for a for a showing like that, it it'll cost me 150 to 250 dollars, depending on the movie. I mean, you could go back to Gone with the Wind, uh the original Robin Hood, you could go back in the 30s, all these movies are remastered too, by the way.

SPEAKER_06 58:24

You know, there is so many movies uh let's just say the 40s, yeah. Oh, yeah, are that are you you would swear that they were written about current events, yeah. History repeats itself, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 58:44

Yeah, exactly, exactly, and you know, like uh I I don't know how the younger generation would feel about black and white movies, but some of the black and white movies, they they really are better in black and white than like on the waterfront, Casablanca. I I can't imagine Casablanca being in color, right?

SPEAKER_05 59:10

Right, right. Yeah, I yeah, I get you there because you you want to have that. There's well noir. Yeah, there is there's that you want to have that certain feel to it, and you get that with it with it being in black and white, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 59:23

Oh, absolutely. Yeah, well, that's that's what uh uh what's his name did with young Frankenstein, right? Mel Brooks, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 59:30

Mel Brooks.

SPEAKER_06 59:31

That was that was awesome, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 59:33

Well, the one that I wanted to do for uh a family thing, it's a slapsticker, but uh I can remember when some of our grandkids uh we had four of them sitting there watching this show, and they were mesmerized for an hour and a half or an hour and 45 minutes is Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. Oh, I remember that! Oh my god, that is so awesome! I mean, uh you know, you he had you had the monster Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolf band, yeah, and Abbott and T, yeah. Yeah, and those four kids were young and they didn't speak all the time that movie was on. They were either laughing or shaking. So I I'm gonna do definitely that's a good one. I forgot about that one. Oh and I think that's 38. When was that? Oh no, though that was in the that was in the 40s or yeah, late 40s.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:38

Gone with the women and Robin Hood, I think were both 39, and Casablanca was 41, I believe. Is that Robin? Robin Hood, that Robin Hood, is that the one with Errol Flynn? No, yeah, with with Errol Flynn, yeah. And Olivia De Havlin was about 21 years old. Yeah. Oh my god. And and you know, the thing is, even the godfather, when I was talking to people when I was putting these posters up, and I was thinking, she's it was one lady said, Well, you know, I've never seen the godfather. And I said, Well, you couldn't see it in the you couldn't see it in the theater because you weren't born in 74. That's right. But the theater experience on some of these movies, I don't care how big your screen is at home, and I've got a super subwoofer woofer and sound system and everything, it's just not the same. Not not when you get sitting in the theater eating that buttered popcorn. There you go. And the sound's bouncing from right to left, back.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:47

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:48

Yeah, exactly. And and uh and see to me, I kind of drive Nancy crazy. She'll take her hearing aids out because I keep telling her the only way you can watch a good movie is the back of your chair has to vibrate.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:03

There you go. There you go. All right. Hey, Larry, hold on, hold on. Okay, look, I'm cutting you loose, but you but look, I'm taking another, I'm gonna I'm gonna take my breath Elizer here in about one minute, okay?

SPEAKER_05 1:05:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:55

I think I've got a bottle of that black common oral with Be interesting to do it if you save a little smidge.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:02

If we could do a side by side, yeah, we could do a side by side and see if there is a difference. I don't know if we'll be able to tell the difference, but maybe if we do a side by side, we probably could, especially if we have a clean mouth to start.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:12

I think I think there is. I I do I think there's a little bit of a difference.

Practical Ways To Avoid DUI

SPEAKER_05 1:06:18

Okay. All right. Well, um, yeah, we'll do, and though there'll be some of this left. I better not finish this bottle. So um, getting back to the whole reason why we're doing this and the importance of it as well. I want to share a little bit of information with you guys, okay? And just take this stuff to heart. Take, you know, think about this, all right? Some some different um some ways to help you prevent and reduce drunk driving, okay? Um, now, as far as like policy makers and and and law enforcement, Jim's cheating over here, but that's okay. It's okay. You're you can do it, it's fine.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:06

We got some good stuff here. I will remember this. Uh, that's right.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:10

I can remember it anyway. I don't know anything about it. So listen, uh, oh, we got hang on. We got a couple ladies coming in the studio here. Got cat Catherine and Tess.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:19

I didn't need dollar bills.

unknown 1:07:23

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:24

Hey, man. Got Catherine and Tess walking in, crossing, what right, walking right in front of the camera there, but that's okay. So, so listen, so so some ways, yeah. There you go. Peek yourselves in there. There we go. You want to come so, like I was saying, what what policymakers and law enforcement um what they try to do, hold on, hold on here. It's important information. What they try to do to help prevent and reduce drunk driving is they enforce zero tolerance laws for people under the age of 21, which is good because if you're not 21, it's not Miller time. Um set up sobriety checkpoints to allow officers to stop and check for impaired drivers. Now, I'm gonna tell you this. I I don't know if I'm a huge fan of that. Um because I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of checkpoints. Okay. You know, just you are man, what am I smelling grilled cheese or something? Man, it smells like grilled cheese. They opened the studio door, and man, it's just like wafting in here. It's great. But but um, yeah, I'm not a fan of checkpoints. I don't know. What do you think, Jim?

SPEAKER_06 1:08:37

You're talking to some you're talking to somebody that's got totally different views. Uh scared to death of them. Well, and I don't like it because I got bit.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:47

Yeah. Okay. But I was on the border. But I just, okay, now and they let me go. Twice. I don't know. I just it just like okay, it's like forcing people to pull over and say, hey, you been drinking tonight? You know, that kind of thing. I don't know if I'm a fan of that so much. I I actually I was I was pulled over in a in a checkpoint one time and I had two drinks that night, but it had been it had been probably a couple of hours previous to my last drink. And I told the officer too. I pulled and he did the little light test where they shine a flashlight in your eyes, and what they're looking for is to see if your eyes start start bouncing, because if they start bouncing, then that usually means that you're uh either uh intoxicated or on the on the border of or on the brink of intoxication.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:38

More on that later, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:39

Yeah, more on that later. But um I don't know if I'm a fan of that. I just really don't, you know, and like you guys know. Look, I've told you before, I'm not a big drinker. I'm really not. I'm just not a big drinker at all.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:52

Tonight he is.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:53

Yeah, definitely tonight. So let's see. I'm definitely not an irresponsible drinker. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that I look, I have a commercial driver's license. It's my it it you know doesn't that's what I do for a living, okay? I drive, I drive for it's it's hot in here because I'm here.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:12

Do you want like the fan on or something?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:14

No, we're good. No, because the fan will make noise, it'll pick up on the microphones. Well, you can turn the AC on, that'll work.

unknown 1:10:21

Turn the air on.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:22

Okay, you guys can come back because you're supposed to be logging this stuff, not me. And the more I drink, the less I'm gonna be able to log this stuff. Oh hang on, I've got hold on. I've got four and a half, um four minutes and 47 seconds. Well, you're supposed to.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:37

Okay, well let's say you blow one time. You have four shots?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:40

I've already blown four like four times.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:41

How many ounces are you doing?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:43

Two ounces. Okay, so everybody's that ain't no two ounces. That's one ounce. Before the next drink, not yet. Yeah, that's one ounce. Yes, okay. It's that's a two-ounce glass. I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:53

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:54

No, go, nope, no, they don't believe me. Go measure it. Yeah, go get it. 59 millimeter it's two ounces. It's two ounces. No, you're high. Can you believe I'm taking this crap on my own podcast? Geez. All right. Uh, let's see. What else do policymakers and law enforcement do to help reduce drunk driving? They install and mandate, they can, if certainly if you are have been pulled over and you've been cited for drunk driving, they can install and mandate uh that first time and repeat, not just first time, but repeat drunk driving offenders. Use an ignition, uh uh an ignition, what's it? Inter interlock device, which checks your BAC before you can even start your vehicle. So you have to blow into it. Yeah, yeah, that's two ounces. I'm telling you. Yeah, dude. I'm telling you right now. I know my shop glasses. They're drunk. They're drunk, not me. Well, law enforcement and policymakers can also enact strict license revocation and suspension laws, so they can do that.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:07

A little under.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:08

No, it's two ounces, right there.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:10

There's still some in here.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:14

Oh, there's I like there's like two drops in there, please. Increase drunk driving education, which is really important. That's what tonight is about. Consider this like drunk driving education. Then we want to look how much. That's because you over. Oh, please. Like two drops. Increase drunk driving education and treatment. Now, I'm not gonna treat you for drunk driving. I'm not gonna treat you for it, but I am gonna educate you. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:12:41

Is he allowed to drink water?

SPEAKER_11 1:12:42

Yeah, I have water right here. I have water right here.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:45

Oh, okay. Okay. That is my shot glass. By the way, that's my Mark and Linda podcast shot glass.

unknown 1:12:58

Two minutes.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:58

Yeah, I've got what two 222 before my next uh before my next drink. Now, but but now that was just policymakers and law enforcement. See, but what can you, you out there, what can you do to prevent and reduce. Okay, we'll see when you come back. Drunk driving.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:19

Call 911.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:20

Well, before you drink. Oh, you're not gonna design you designate a a non-drinking driver, a designated driver. Okay, you designate somebody to do that. So if you're out with a group of people, somebody just now almost all the time I'm the designated driver. In fact, I not I shouldn't say almost all the time, all the time I'm a designated driver. There are times we go to the brewery. No, that's not a lie. The time there's times we go to the brewery and I'll have a couple of drinks there, but but I'm very, very careful. And there's been a couple of times where we just we say, nope, nope, we're not taking a chance. We take a ride there and we take a ride back.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:01

Yeah, because we know we want to enjoy ourselves.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:04

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely. So designate a non-drinking driver, okay? And that's just the way it is. Look, if you are one that likes to go out and drink, sometimes you got to bite the bullet. And maybe if there's a group of you, four, five, or six of you, then maybe you just take turns. You know what? This time I'm not drinking. Next time, I'm not drinking. Whatever it might be. You guys can come on, nut it up. All right, you can do it, you can do it for one time. Whatever it is, okay, it helps to save lives, including your own. If you've been drinking, however, find a ride home. Ride share. Uber lift, and I talked about it last week. Waymo! Waymo. Catherine and I no, that's the driverless car.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:02

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:03

That's the driverless car. They had them in Catherine and I were in Mesa uh two weeks ago. We were there for a music festival, and they had Waymo's.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:12

It was actually really cool. We took it, we took it three times. It was really, really cool.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:16

Oh, so you could do backseat bumping, and and nobody would know the difference.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:19

Well, I don't know because they probably have sure they have cameras in the uh in the in the cabin of the vehicle. Oh, here we go. Hold on. Let me get my drink. Let me get my drink ready. I will say this right now. Larry asked before um he went. He said he asked me like how I was feeling.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:42

You still got that rickety ass table for a freaking expensive bottle of booze.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:46

What is look at his shape? Ay, ay, aye. Oh, let me take okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:51

That shakes more than a dog shitting a peach seed.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:54

Oh, please. Okay. Warming up. We're gonna take uh BAC right now. Two one. Go. Calculating. Oh, leave the glasses on.043. Here we go. I don't believe that.043.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:26

What time is it?

SPEAKER_05 1:16:26

It's like doubled now. You know why? You know why? Why?

SPEAKER_06 1:16:32

Because you took a shot and then sample.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:34

No, I haven't taken the shot yet. I just poured it. No, no, no. Okay, just point oh four three.043. Yeah, baby. And you can do you can even double check my math because it's right there.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:45

It's not your math, it's a number.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:46

You know what I'm saying. Golly. All right, here we go.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:50

Hmm.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:52

Ramping up.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:53

So what number is that?

SPEAKER_05 1:16:54

So double. This is number six. Or number, yeah, number six. Number six. Now now we got seven coming up. Well, seven seventeen. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:05

Like, what are you doing? Like, how far from the that's what we did last year.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:12

We tried to stay true to ten minutes.

SPEAKER_08 1:17:14

Go with 726 on this one. The next one.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:17

On the next one, yeah. Well, you'll you'll be here for the next one. All right.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:20

So I'll be back.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:22

I know. Now, here's another way. Another way, people. Oh, the that you can prevent and reduce drunk driving. Never, never, ever let someone who has been drinking drive a vehicle. Never. Oh, we got our first comment. Hold on.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:45

Hang on.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:46

Let me. This is so sad. This is so sad. Get up here and look. Oh my gosh. Catherine. You want another one? You want another one? No, no, no, no. All right. Um, but never, never let anyone who's been drinking, especially if you've been, you know, drinking like hard stuff like like you know, we're having tonight. Uh this isn't hard stuff. This is hard stuff. Beer is bad enough, especially now, because like back in the certainly before I was 21, but when I was starting to learn about like alcohol and and and that like when when when you go through driver's education, whenever we were kids, you know, they would they would teach you about about drinking. Jim, you get you're covering your face, people can't see your face on camera.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:40

So is that so bad?

SPEAKER_05 1:18:41

Yeah, I don't know. Um, but they would they would show, okay, you know, beer, the average beer has two and a half percent alcohol by volume. You know what's funny? No longer is that the case. And that was like a Budweiser. Budweiser now, even Bud Light is like four percent alcohol uh by volume now. So so even the the the like the beer companies, they've ramped up their alcohol level in their beers now. So uh even drinking drinking a beer is not what it used to be 40 years ago, 45 years ago, 50 years ago. Just your average run of the mill. And so many people are into craft beers now and all that, you know.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:27

You know what, but the trend of that now is starting to come down. Is it on the ABV? Yeah, yeah. A lot of people are are they they're calling uh uh lawnmower beers where they like the oh yeah, the low, the low ABV. I'm gonna say low as in four. Lower.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:42

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:43

And where they it's they can have multiple ones while they're mowing the lawner. So that's the trend. It's coming down. It was really high.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:53

Yeah. Well, and the stuff that the stuff that we enjoy, you and I and and and and Catherine, the stuff that we really enjoy are those barrel-aged stouts, and those are those are incredibly high on the ABV. Those, I mean, like a low ABV on that would be about 13.5%. And they go as high as like 23%. So you really have to be careful on those. But um, I will say this before I get into the very last one. I'm starting to feel, and I talk, I've talked about this in the past, my jaw is starting to kind of get a little numb. So I know I'm getting that buzz going. Um, and that's what after like six drinks now.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:37

Couldn't be from talking so much.

unknown 1:20:39

No.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:41

No, I know, I know the feeling. Just checking. But I'm starting to get that buzz going. That um, you know, that happens after several drinks. So the the the jaws get numb. Um I don't feel like I'm losing control at all, but now I'm starting to feel it. So I I I I know now. I'm gonna prep the next one though, just so I have it. Um, I think it's coming up in about seven minutes. Let me check.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:10

Six. Six minutes. Okay. Prep the next one. Okay, there's that.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:18

And we'll leave it right there. The last tip of how to prevent and reduce drunk driving is do not get in a car with the driver who's been drinking. These are simple things, and so it's like common sense. But the problem is that when you start to drink and you get more drinks, it doesn't matter, it's hard liquor, beers, whatever it might be. When you're starting to drink alcohol, the more you get in, the more you get in your system, the more loosey goose you get. And I know from past experience, even though I did not drive, I remember one time I had 14 shots in me, 14 over the course of the evening. And I I I was like, oh yeah, now I know why people get in trouble. Because even though I know there's no way I belong behind a wheel, inside I'm going, I could drive, I could do this, I could do this, no problem. But there's no way I know I can. So you gotta you wrestle with that yourself, you know.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:38

Yep. As your alcohol level goes up, so does your confidence level.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:42

Falsely. Yeah, you're right, right, right, right, right. That's why they call it liquid courage.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:48

It's it's uh directly proportional.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:50

Yeah, they call it liquid courage, and and and you um your inhibitions just start coming down. You start you start losing your inhibitions, yeah, baby. Yeah, listen. Oh, you know what? Wait a second, wait a second here. All right, look, I told you people. Hang on. Oh, not this one. Where is it? Where is it? I got my stuff. Jim, Jim has got a before we uh before I get too loaded here. Where's my where's my script?

SPEAKER_04 1:23:28

Probably what you were taking your notes on. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, that was separate.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:51

No, I had no, that was just a pile of where's that, where's those papers? Are there are they all the blank ones or is my script in there? My script. Okay. All right. I told you people, we're bringing some good content tonight.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:05

Yep, you're gonna call it that.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:08

All right, so before before we get too well we before I get too tanked up here. Okay, so we got a little sketch here. Uh ooh, maybe we'll have time. Yeah, we're gonna have to wait till after the next shot. But we got two 244. We got a little sketch here. A little sketch here. We're gonna call it uh we can't we can't exactly call it like uh, I don't know, what can we call it? I don't know, not not masterpiece theater. Maybe we call it uh I don't know. We'll we'll come up with something. Somebody will come up with it.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:48

It's pretty cheesy, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:50

Oh, it's incredibly cheesy, but but we're gonna do it. So, so before because I got what? I got two minutes and 13 seconds. Okay. I had some other stuff planned. This this whole day fell apart, but it's all come back together and it's good. It's good. This is awesome stuff. So, so I've been working on this show for like the last two and a half months, something like that. Now I reached out to law enforcement officials, I really reached out to the um County of San Bernardino, the sh the sheriff's department. And I, yeah, you can if you want to, Tess, you can change that calendar if you want. It's October. Um, but I reached out to the sheriff's department, uh, San Bernardino County, as I said, and um I had somebody call me from uh traffic enforcement. It was a sergeant, and you know, he said, Hey, I got a message to call you, blah, blah, blah, whatever. And uh I explained to him what I was looking for, what I was doing, and that I wanted somebody from traffic enforcement to come into studio to kind of take us through a step-by-step process if you get pulled over, you know, for for DUI. No, they would, of course they would do it. So he asked me, he says, okay, that sounds great. He asked me to um send him an email. So he gives me his email address, and I sent the email, and he said, I, you know, he tells me, he says, I've got to run it past um public affairs because everything goes through public affairs, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And um, about four or five days later, he sends me another email and he says, Okay, you know, unfortunately, not gonna be able to do it. I'm traveling, nobody else uh has my skill, you know, has the skill set to be able to do it, so on and so on. Okay, fine. So I couldn't get law enforcement in here, unfortunately. Um, I know, Tess. You got five set. Oh, force. Okay, it's getting ready to go.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:08

First of all, I'll do a measurement.

All right. Nice cool. I was trying to I'm trying to go to the chiropractor earlier today, and they were like, oh, it's low, it says blow. Calculating.

It says three hours and 51 minutes until sober. You are likely experiencing lower inhibitions. That means I'm like feeling horny and impaired reasoning. Oh, uh lower inhibitions and impaired reasoning. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:09

Does that mean that you and I gotta get farther away from here? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:47

Oh peregrinate. Whatever the hell that is. What? Ah, now I get it.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:59

So okay, so don't make me say it again.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:05

Oh, oh, for for what purpose did the Gallus Gallus domesticus traverse the road?

SPEAKER_06 1:34:16

That's it. Ah, but no butts. Well what do you mean road? Everyone knows roads. The things people drive on with cars or lorries or buses or wait, you got me doing it now. Doing what? It doesn't matter. Back to road. What don't you understand about road?

SPEAKER_05 1:34:45

Well, I can assume you mean asphalt highway. Yes, but I said no buts. But well, okay. What if it's aspirational, like dreams or desires?

SPEAKER_06 1:35:02

I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:04

You know.

SPEAKER_15 1:35:05

The road to El Dorado.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:08

Where? Eldorado, the city of gold. Oh, but what's that got to do with there's there's no actual city.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:21

The road to El Dorado is a metaphor for our path through life to achieve enlightenment.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:31

Okay, in fact, I can't say anything because I don't even know where we are. The road! An asphalt highway or a higher extension. Don't finish that sentence, an asphalt highway. Well, thank you for clearing that up. No problem. So what? So, for what purpose did the Gallus Gallus domesticus traverse the asphalt highway?

SPEAKER_12 1:36:09

I I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:11

To get to the other side?

SPEAKER_05 1:36:14

The other side? Yeah. The ethereal plane or the juxtapose of where they set forth?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:25

I wasn't asking you a question. Look, it's a classic joke. Why did the chicken cross the road?

SPEAKER_05 1:36:32

Okay, so so you mean for what purpose did the Gallus Gallus Domesticas traverse the asphalt highway?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:40

This is getting tedious, exactly.

SPEAKER_15 1:36:43

Why? To get to the other side. You mean to reach the ethereal plane?

SPEAKER_05 1:36:51

No. Or to reach the juxtaposed position from which they began.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:58

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:01

Look, if you're gonna tell a joke, at least tell it properly.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:16

Lord have mercy. Oh man. Oh, I'll tell you, I can't believe. Okay. Quickly, quickly.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:26

Nothing happens with you quickly. Well, I can't say nothing. No, no, no, no, no. Catherine told me different.

SPEAKER_05 1:37:31

Yeah, I take it easy now. Quickly. This is I I am getting because I I think I even told you guys last year how I would how I would start to feel uh as we went through the process. And I'm really starting to feel a little. I'm surprised I actually made it through that thing. I hope you guys enjoyed it. That was that was something. Good job, Jim. Right here, up top. Yeah. Oh, come on.

Ever since little and let picking on you.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:24

Oh, tell me about it. Man, ever since I was little. Jeez. But I look, I have to admit, and we may, gosh, we may have talked about this a long time ago when we did the bro show. Remember we did the bro show when Chuck came on? And uh I think we may have even talked about how we used to um like always harass and harangue you and like Gino and Renee and Mike, whenever they would come over, and you guys would just beat us up and we loved it. It was great. We would just keep coming back for more.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:58

Oh, that explains your current sex life. Jeez.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:06

All right. Hey Tess, uh, you got it you got a minute and a half.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:13

So Okay, people. So I am feeling and now it's really starting to kick in.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:20

Oh yeah, I should pour it before we I should pour it before we have the or before the alarm goes off, anyway. Okay Wait, wait, isn't that a great sound? Hang on, hang on.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:32

SPEAKER_04 1:39:34

That's so that's good, brother. All right. So okay. Alright, so it's there. There it is. It's ready to go.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:47

And we got about a minute to wait. That's half half that bottle's gone right now. Um, and then once once we do this, you're gonna love it. Oh, oh no, that's oh, okay, Larry. Larry, my buddy Larry. Hi, Larry. Just sent me the link for the uh Godfather uh podcast, so I can listen to his review of the of the uh Godfather. Just to get back to that, Larry is such an awesome you know Larry's 87 years old.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:23

Yeah, I got that. You said 13 more years before he turned 100. Okay. I can do math.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:27

See? Not only is is Brother Jim smart, but Brother Ben has been drinking too much. So brother Ben is probably gonna start repeating himself.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:39

That's okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:39

Yeah. Anyway, um, oh, there's Tess. Where are you? Okay, I can write. This is gonna be eight. Okay. There's okay. Breath Elizer, before we take our drink. It's what time is it? It is 7 42. Come on, Tess. There you go. Once we get done with this, I scribbled scribble number eight.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:09

It's calculating. Did it click? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:13

Of course, of course it did. Well, it won't calculate unless it clicks. Now we're ramping up. How much did it be?

SPEAKER_09 1:41:23

0.078. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:27

Yeah, what's the thing to remember?

SPEAKER_09 1:41:29

Might not always be accurate.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:31

And why is that?

SPEAKER_08 1:41:33

Well, because it specifically says when you buy it that it's not always accurate.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:39

Not calibrating top level. Okay, hold on. Okay, wait, wait. Face the camera a little bit more, okay? There you go. Even though no one can see your face, they can still see your shoulder and your whatever. Yeah, uh, you said it. I didn't say it. I'm not gonna say that. There you go, Tess. But you didn't say that last year when we did this. You sat in in Brother Jim's chair last year. Remember? Of course you remember. I'm surprised I remember right now.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:08

No, I mean, um okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:12

Yeah. It it is it blow again, dude. They look, they say, oh, it's not a hundred percent accurate, that kind of stuff. Okay. It's close enough. Is it or is it not? I think they say that to cover themselves. There you go. There you go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:28

The police, at least, they calibrate their machines. So it's something to know. Like, we don't know how many times this has been used. It's um I know you probably like there's no way to calibrate it.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:42

So come a little closer. I know people can probably hear you, but come a little bit.

SPEAKER_09 1:42:47

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:47

I'm gonna I already did once. I'm gonna do it again.

SPEAKER_15 1:42:50

All right, relax, relax. Take it easy. Hey, you know what? We've got we're gonna play a little beanboozle challenge coming up.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:56

SPEAKER_06 1:43:19

Yeah, but yeah, but that's okay. Take the average, 0.077.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:11

Now notice that the sticker from the booze bottle traversed from the booze glass.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:16

It's stuck to the shot glass. Yes, it's definitely stuck to the shot glass. I know, I think I did slur that a little bit. Okay, let's take that. Let's stick it right there. There we go.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:27

Okay, so it's ready to go.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:30

Um, would you spend the money on another frickin' table? God, that drives me nuts.

SPEAKER_15 1:45:36

SPEAKER_06 1:45:54

What a freaking control freak.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:56

I well, actually, you did get that right. What we're gonna do right now is we're gonna go over the five, oh shoot, I gotta can't let you see that.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:09

I wouldn't be able to read that.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:11

The top five states with the most DUIs per capita. Okay? Top five states with the most DUIs per capita. All right. So if you get if you get a state.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:32

Michigan, Wisconsin.

SPEAKER_01 1:46:33

If you can hang on, hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:35

If you get a state within the top five, you don't have to, you don't have to take a bean. You don't have to eat a bean.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:42

If you miss, for every time you miss, you got to eat. I think like one or two beans come up every time you do that. So you're gonna have to eat whatever comes up. All right. So, and and then we're gonna, and and then, and then we're gonna go through the bottom five also. So the top five and the bottom five. I'm telling you right now, people, I'm looking at the I'm looking at the the the camera, I'm looking at my laptop, and I whoa. I'm just letting you know that right now. Whoa. Okay. All right. All right, brother Jim. States, well, the number of DUI arrests, let's put it that way. The number of DUI arrests per capita in a state can give us an idea of the prevalence of drunk driving. You definitely don't want to do that. You don't want to drink and drive. That's the whole purpose of this show tonight. These numbers don't separate misdemeanors from felony arrests, and they don't account for drunk drivers who were not arrested. But they do indicate which states may be less responsible when it comes to drinking and driving. The top five states for DUIs.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:14

You ready?
