1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Hammer and Nigel. You believe these characters are weirdos. So

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: I love Fridays.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 2: Man, We have a good time on Fridays. Matt Bear,

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: he's a walking good time. He just joined us in studio.

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: He's getting his headphones on. He's adjusting his child size

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: medium shirt.

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Matthew, how are you. I'm fantastic. Thanks for having me today, Fellas.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: You are a Purdue guy, did you stay up? I

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: know your schedule is very bizarre because you work split shifts.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: You do the morning traffic with Tony and you come

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: in here and have fun with us in the afternoon.

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: Did you make it up to see the end of

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: the Perdue game?

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: Yes? I did, and it was just so much anxiety.

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: I said this earlier. This has been a bad year

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: to be a Purdue fan. You know, It's been a

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: tough year to get through. But I'm watching this game

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: and I am enjoying it, and I'm thinking, like, this

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: is going to be the last time, the last tournament,

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: last few games that we get to see this really

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: cool core of Indiana kids together, Indiana basketball players like

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: you know Braden Smith Westfield, and you have Fletcher Lawyer

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: who's from Fort Wade, and Trey Kaufman brend the hero

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: from Last Night set Iceberg. So I kind of get

25
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: a little sad when I think about it, because I

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: don't that's I know, when they lose, it's over. And

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: this has been like such a golden era. I mean,

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: as far as basketball trios go in Indiana, it has

29
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: to be one of the greatest of all time, right.

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: And they're an easy group to root for. Yeah, Like

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: they're not a holes. They're not showing their you know,

32
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: nil money in your face at the bars like certain

33
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: college basketball players were, you know right, they just go

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: out there and for the most part when when Big

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: Ten basketball games, they've made deep runs in the tournament.

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean they've seen the ups and downs.

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: Right, my freshman year, I think it was they lost

38
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: to a sixteen seed in the first round and you

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: follow that up with a trip to the Natty though, Like,

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: so you're right, I do like seeing Indiana kids succeed.

41
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: My guys play tonight, we get the late night game.

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm a Tennessee volunteer guy, but I kind of know

43
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: the writings on the wall, like, my guys have a

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: chance tonight, but after that.

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: Eh, but hey, it's house money at this point.

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: But this Purdue team, I mean they've got Arizona next,

47
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: but hell, Pdue could beat Arizona.

48
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: They could. The think about Arizona, it's as I understand that.

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend like I've watched Arizona a

50
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: lot this season or anything, but they beat you with

51
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: like this laser like efficiency, you know, and they can

52
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: beat you one through five, then six and seven. I mean,

53
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: they have really really good players, and they are really

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: really deep. So Purdue, you know, has been if he

55
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: on the rebounding a little bit this year, if they

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: can hang stay out of foul trouble, and you know,

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: maybe it do the same with Arizona. I think they're

58
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna have a better chance. But that's a tough team

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: to beat.

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: Man yep, And I love it though, Like March madness

61
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: is so good.

62
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.

63
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: Uh. From a local perspective, here, we are hosting the

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: Final four next week. I know the city has began

65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: to already close down some of the streets and some

66
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: of the areas before that. Do we have any like

67
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: big events in town this weekend?

68
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have. I mean the party's already starting.

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: I mean I live over there at Bottleworks, you know

70
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: where they have NCAA stuff all the time, especially for

71
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: the tournament. And I saw a couple of women taking

72
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: a picture in front of the Bottle Works Hotel with

73
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: Michigan shirts on. So you know they're not even in

74
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: the Final four yet their fans are coming out already,

75
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: so it's going to be big. We already have street closures,

76
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: like Meridian Street down around the War Memorial is shut

77
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: down right now. Excuse me, that's Michigan Street is going

78
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: to be shut down that westbound one way and Pen

79
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: has been reduced to a lane. So you have the

80
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: festivities that have begun. People are coming into town. The

81
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: airport's going to get busy, and it's going to be

82
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: especially busy next week. I'm not thinking like so much

83
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: like it was with the Super Bowl. But it's the

84
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: final four. This is one of my granddaddy's sporting events

85
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: of the whole year.

86
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: So and depending on who wins, Like if you're the

87
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: city of Indianapolis, you want the big brands to advance

88
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: because they bring the fans right, Like you might not

89
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: be a Michigan fan, but Michigan fans travel well. That

90
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: means they're going to sell out the hotels, They're going

91
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: to drink a lot of beer. They're going to help

92
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: the city economically. Like I wonder how Purdue would do,

93
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: because I know Purdue fans if they're fortunate enough to

94
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: make it. And again they're the underdog, to say the

95
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: least against Arizona. But let's say they shocked the world

96
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: and beat Arizona. Are city leaders rooting for that because

97
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: they probably don't need hotel rooms, but they'll come down

98
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: here and eat and drink like a mother.

99
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Oh hey, absolutely. I mean they're going to be traveling

100
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: and it's a fun time. It's great to be Indianapolis.

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: When you're hosting something like this in Indianapolis is just

102
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: a dynamo across the nation when it comes to hosting

103
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: sports events. Is so cool. Purdue will show up. The

104
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: funny thing is about the Final four and due going

105
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: to the Final four, and I know that you're asking

106
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: about economics, but they had a tough year at MAKI,

107
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of a little worried about the home feel,

108
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: you know here in Indianapolis. So Lucas Oil Stadium as

109
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: far as the fans go, I mean, you got to

110
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: see the IU fan based travel for the national Championship,

111
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: and that was cool man, even as a Purdue fan,

112
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: that was fun to watch.

113
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: And ever taking over stadiums that featured Alabama and Oregon

114
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: like big brands.

115
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: This is sec territory. I mean, this is big time.

116
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: So I think you'll get a vineblink that with Purdue,

117
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: and I think they will. I mean, it's been a

118
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: long time coming. Especially it has been really hard watching

119
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: how you win that championship. So if they get a

120
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: chance to put on party boat to be like, yeah,

121
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: we could win the national championship.

122
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: They're gonna be here in ten the season though, in

123
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: the Circle City, right, this is when we're gonna start

124
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: seeing visitors from all around here in a couple weeks,

125
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: the Final four not too long after that, we have

126
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: the race not too long after there's here we go.

127
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: This is what makes Indianapolis fun. It's like this golden route. Yeah,

128
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: up to the Indianapolis five hundred. This is a good time.

129
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Saturday specifically, because correct me if

130
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. Maybe I'm off by week, but is this

131
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: the high school state finals downtown this weekend? And also

132
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: some of your favorite TV Palels are having the No

133
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: Kings rally also taking place downtown, which is part of

134
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: the big national deal. So what is your advice about

135
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: anybody coming downtown for any reason this week?

136
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: Oh, it's going to be tough, and we have an

137
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: interchange closing. First off, it's going to be northbound sixty

138
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: five seventy comedy out of the South Split, just in

139
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: ty for any of high school basketball championship games. So

140
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: you have all these adjacent rams that are gonna be

141
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: shut down. I'm talking about the South Split. Like you're

142
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: going north, like you're coming up from Greenwood, and then

143
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: you hit that downtown interchange with seventy, you will not

144
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: be able to continue to go north. You'll get bucked

145
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: probably to westbound seventy is what's going to happen, and

146
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: the other rams will be closed as well with traffic downtown.

147
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: Always come down, always enjoy, have a great time, spend

148
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: your money, enjoy the whole thing. But you have to

149
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: play in accordingly, because not only you're going to have

150
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: these street closures and people walking around in the middle

151
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: of the road, it's hard to park here. It's really

152
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: expensive and hard to park here. So plan ahead for that.

153
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: Maybe just take an uber, I don't know, whatever the

154
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: case is. But plan your parking so you don't get

155
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: turned around, because there are a lot of places to

156
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: get turned around right now. And have alternative routes.

157
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: Like if you're just coming downtown to watch some high

158
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: school basketball, to watch the finals and you don't want

159
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: to get caught up in the numb nuts chanting no kings, like,

160
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: have an alternative route where you can get you know,

161
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: yourself home without having to wait on those people to.

162
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Get out of the street. Yeah. Yeah, and that's you

163
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: have that alternative route, make sure you give it a look,

164
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: and just to rely on the GPS because that could

165
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: be old information a lot of the time. So yeah, man,

166
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a busy weekend. It'll be a good

167
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: weekend down here. It's just you know, watch out for

168
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 1: the crosswalks, and you know, I come from a small

169
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: town and crosswatchs weren't a huge deal because you know

170
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: they'll limited traffic and everything. Just watch for the pedestrians

171
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: and have a blast. Man. Matt Bhaer joining us in

203
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: get back to do your traffic. This Justin Timberlake video controversy, Now,

204
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: he got popped for adwey a while back, and he

205
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: was trying to fight to have the release of the

206
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: incident that was recorded released to the masses. He did

207
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: not win that the video was released. I mean, he

208
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: was intoxicated. He was having a hard time with that

209
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: field sobriety test. Clearly, that's somebody in their darkest moment,

210
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: I would think. And I'm just curious as to somebody

211
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: who's battled the demons like you have, what did you

212
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: make of the whole justin Timberlake situation, the fight to

213
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: keep the video out of the public and then ultimately

214
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: it being released I.

215
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: Watched the whole thing, and I'm watching Justin Timberlake. At first, off,

216
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: he didn't pull the I'm justin Timberlake card, which I

217
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: was really impressed with, you know, inviting to keep it

218
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: off social media. Who wouldn't do that if he had

219
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: the resources. I think everybody would. And your correction of

220
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: your behavior. Okay, just because you get a DUI, that

221
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're a horrible person. It makes you a

222
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: horrible decision maker while you're drunk, and everybody is that.

223
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: And I'm watching this, and I was thinking about some

224
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: of the other people that click, the celebrities as far

225
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: as getting their DUIs and how they reacted at everything.

226
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: When you get caught and we're not in our right

227
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: mind drinking, but act. Actually, when you're recovery can start

228
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: is when you get clicked right there. And hopefully Justin

229
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Timberlake will have a little humility going forward saying I

230
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: messed up and I wish him the best, God bless him.

231
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: But when you think about drinking and driving, especially on

232
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: a weekend like this, when I got my DWI, it

233
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: was incredibly reckless. But there are so many other options

234
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: out there. You can uber, you can take a free

235
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: you can have somebody takes technology as your friend. These

236
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: days it is very much your friend. But that is

237
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: the first point where you can start your recovery. That's

238
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: the first point where you can say, hey, I really

239
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: messed up tonight. So yeah, you're going to be in

240
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: the mood, especially if you have friends around, maybe to

241
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: take on the cops, maybe be rude or you know,

242
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: be a smart ass whatever else, kind of like what

243
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: I was whenever I got clicked. But you can do better.

244
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: So the first and foremost thing is don't do it.

245
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Don't drink and drive man, you know, and I should

246
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: have had a half a dozen du wise in my

247
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: drinking career. I was that bad. And you're not a

248
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: millionaire like justin Timberlake. No, no, the first time around.

249
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: If you get clicked for a dooey, your first time around,

250
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: you can lose your license for a year. Forget the fines,

251
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: forget the lawyer fees. You lose that license for a year.

252
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about people who're driving home. I have

253
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: a forty minute commute home right now. That threatens your career,

254
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: That threatens your livelihood and job. Getting that DWI and

255
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: the potential of losing your license. So even if you

256
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: take away all the other bluster, the embarrassment asking yourself

257
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: questions whether or not I'm an alcoholic, me being a

258
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,239
Speaker 1: recovery alcoholic, going through that whole thing, it's your livelihood

259
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: is very much going to be at risk if you

260
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: get that DWY. So you watch somebody like justin Timberlake,

261
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: and like I said, I'm impressed not with his decision

262
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: to drive drunk because you could hurt somebody, mangle somebody.

263
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: And I never trivialize a mother who's lost a child

264
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: too drunk driving, No, of course not. But you're off

265
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: on the right foot, and that's that can be the

266
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: beginning of your better decision making process, one that doesn't

267
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: involve alcohol. It's a beautiful thing. That's when recovery can

268
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: start
