1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Hammer and Nigel Show. Hi there,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: my name is Nigel Jason Hammer.

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 2: Right over there a very special guest in studio with us.

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: We've been making everybody happy on the YouTube chat today.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 3: We had Allison dancing earlier and now we've got the

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 3: traffic beast Matt Bear in studio for your viewing pleasure.

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: How are you?

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 4: I am fantastic, Thanks for the introduction. Allison was probably

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 4: a lot more. Uh, she probably got a lot more response.

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: She did get some reaction, for sure.

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, people want us to start a bachelorette game show

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: to win the love and affection of Allison.

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: Now. The most common reaction was quote, Damn, Allison.

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 5: I think they're just worried for my health.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Are you having a seizure?

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 4: See?

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: Okay, the little kicks were fantastic, though there was a

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: spot on a lane. Matt Bear, we're getting close to

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: pothole season now. You told me this earlier, and my

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: immediate reaction was, wait, we're not in it now, We're

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: getting close to it.

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 5: We're not in it now? Yeah.

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're still in the melting season. And then we

24
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 4: go into pothole season. Two seasons in Indiana melting and butthole.

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: Here's what happens this sun and the warmth we're gonna

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 4: get on Monday.

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 5: We call it warmth.

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 4: I guess, you know, right around forty degrees kind of

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 4: in that area, it's gonna melt all the snow and

30
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: then the road or the ice gota melts too as

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 4: well on the road, and the cars go over and

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 4: the road crumbles.

33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 5: So then we get potholes.

34
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 4: So I expect pothole season to start get again to

35
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: effect big time next week.

36
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: Well, the good news is that the city historically has

37
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 3: always done such a great job of filling those holes.

38
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 5: Man that I don't expect any flat tires.

39
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: I don't expect any crumbling terrain.

40
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: If there are, there's a website you could go to

41
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: you'll get it rectified right away.

42
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 5: It's right Here's Action Center. Get McCall immediately. It's like

43
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: an uber service. They come right out and take care

44
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 5: of for you.

45
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: You know, remember a few years ago when we started

46
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: talking about how bad the potholes were, Hawks that did

47
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: some sort of photo op where he had this like

48
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: bedazzled jacket on and he was out making it look

49
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: like he was doing construction. It looked like something that

50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: like either a fifteen year old girl or a very

51
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: gay older man made for him. It was like sparkly

52
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: and he's out there on the roads.

53
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Remember this.

54
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was totally be dazzled. Uh, there's a total

55
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 5: photo shoot.

56
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: And it drives me nuts when city officials or any

57
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: kind of state leader a politician goes out and is

58
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: like it picks up a shovel and says, look I'm

59
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: shoveling snow right now, or look I'm filling a potholes

60
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 4: because it's so bs and it's so crap.

61
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: Diego Morales still had the sticker on the shovel.

62
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: On his picture.

63
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then there were snowblower tracks too, and that

64
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: was a kind of amazing thing to me. So I've

65
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 4: never liked things like that. And really, all we want

66
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 4: you to do is go fix the roads. I mean,

67
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 4: fixed the potholes. But I really expect this. I mean

68
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 4: it's been bad just with the construction. They like took

69
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: this Madison Avenue construction zone and put all the cars

70
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: on one side of.

71
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 5: The road in one of these lanes. Remember they just

72
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 5: paid this.

73
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 4: It's just absolute hot garbage right now to drive on,

74
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 4: especially if you have no suspension like in my car.

75
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: So the roads are already bad, and it's kind of

76
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: mid February when we start to ramp into this poth

77
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: whole season anyways, So really take care of your cars

78
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: coming up at that check engine like goes on, take

79
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 4: it to the shop.

80
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 5: Take it to the shop, gets you tired. I've done

81
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 5: this and I blew a tire on to the tire

82
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 5: shot to the and I blew.

83
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 4: A tire onto a four to sixty five shade lad

84
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: Avenue ramp. I turned on my hazards and the cars

85
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: just like parted.

86
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: Like the seas.

87
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: It felt like Moses who was about the wreck ass car?

88
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: And I was able to get it over to the shoulder.

89
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 4: But I don't recommend anybody doing that. When you see

90
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: that check engine, like, take it to the shop.

91
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: Man.

92
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: Also, can we put that on the montage for next week?

93
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: I felt like Moses who was about the wreck ass car.

94
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: Words of wisdom from the traffic beef very biblical.

95
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 5: We had a.

96
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: Conversation with council Member Michael Paul Hart earlier this week.

97
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: He comes in here once a month keeps us up

98
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: to date on what's happening with the city and the

99
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: city County Council and all those folks, and he brought

100
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: up this East Side YMCA. And I've seen multiple television

101
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: stations reporting on this, and I got to be honest,

102
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: I'm a Southsider, Southwest Sider. Now, I didn't understand how

103
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: important this was until I saw all of the media coverage.

104
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: This is something that's near and dear to you too.

105
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 5: Yeah it is.

106
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: I've been a wy member for fifteen years right now,

107
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 4: I currently go to the ers A YMCA on South Street.

108
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 4: I went to the Anthonaeum before it closed. I went

109
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: to City Market before it closed. So you know, over

110
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: the course of a seventy eight years, I've seen a

111
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: lot of these YMCAs close and that was a big

112
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 4: deal to me. But this is a big deal to

113
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: the families living on the East Side. This is an important,

114
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 4: a critical facility, to community center. It is a community center.

115
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: One of the cool things about the why I work

116
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 4: out and Ramsburg, the one that we're closing that's going

117
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 4: to be shut down on March thirty first unless they

118
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: get the funding. They actually have a daycare where like

119
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: single parents can drop off their kids and go work out.

120
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 4: I think that's essential to mental health. It's been so

121
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: good for me, and you know, being recovering alcoholic exercise

122
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: is just paramount to my recovery.

123
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: And the fact that it's on the east Side, right,

124
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to stereotype anybody here, but if there's

125
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: a side of town that needs to have a place

126
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: where some parents can get some help and some kids

127
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: or people at any age can get off the streets

128
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: and do something, it's the east.

129
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: Side, absolutely, And we're talking about you cannot afford on

130
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 4: the East Side to lose these generational facilities. You know,

131
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 4: we're not just talking about people like you have elderly

132
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: that go to the Why and use it for silver sneakers,

133
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 4: or there's a pool there and water aerobics.

134
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 5: Are just awesome for older people.

135
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: You cannot afford to lose a facility like this because

136
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: it does so many things. Like you said, as the

137
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: community center, people gathered there and it's really heartbreaking. I

138
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: mean it's heartbreaking to me, but it's devastating the people

139
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: who use this on the east Side. It's Ramsburg YMCA,

140
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 4: and they said they're gonna shut it down.

141
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: They said.

142
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: Plaint his day back earlier in the year, they said,

143
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 4: if you don't get the money, we're gonna to shut

144
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 4: you down your laws. And now they're saying it's going

145
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 4: to shut down March thirty first. But nothing is done

146
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: until it's done. So there's a change dot org petition

147
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: right now that people can go to save the Ramsburg

148
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: YMCA and you can do something there monetarily. And I

149
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 4: know how good the Y has been to me. And

150
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 4: I'm not somebody begging for my next meal. The Y

151
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: gives people income options to still better themselves, to go

152
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: and to feel better, to exercise regularly.

153
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 5: And you know again, and I keep going back to

154
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 5: interact with other people.

155
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: Interact with other people, and this is important for a

156
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 4: senior citizens I have something like that. It's important for

157
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: people in poverty to have things like that. And I

158
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: really hope that there's a way. And the thing about

159
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 4: the Councilman Michael Paul Hart that I've always been impressed

160
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 4: with it in this instance is he's doing something. There's

161
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: some action here. He's talking to hey in Conk County.

162
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 4: He's trying to I don't know if he's for me

163
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: to partnership. We're saying, look at the way he in

164
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 4: Konk County and their YMCA did it. We can do

165
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: it here in Indianapolis as well. Either or there is

166
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: something tangible here going on. There's an idea, and that's

167
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: something you don't find in politics very often, especially the

168
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: city county council. So I'm very impressed with him at

169
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: the moment, and I hope he gets it done, and

170
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: if he does, he should talk about it because this

171
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: is the fabric of the east Side. We're talking about it,

172
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: as you said, Hammer, just like any neighborhood, but east

173
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: Side in particular needs some help right now. And this

174
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: is going to be devastating if this Ransburg YMCA closes.

175
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: Matt Baar joining us in studio, wibc's traffic reporter and

179
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: Go back to your younger, more out of control days.

180
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,840

181
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,400

00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: who's very proud in his recovery. Is Super Bowl Sunday

183
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: hard at all?

184
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: It's not really I mean super Bowl was just like

185
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: New Year's was, like Christmas was like Thanksgiving. Just an

186
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: excuse to drink. And I didn't need an excuse to

187
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: drink ever, And but I did always want an excuse

188
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: to go party, and that's what I did. I had

189
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: some good times. I remember when indian Applis had the

190
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: Super Bowl.

191
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 5: He was working. I was working overnight that night because.

192
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: I was cutting sports cast and I saw Snoop Dogg

193
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: just like maybe thirty feet away from me.

194
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 5: He's getting He's got a big old left it in

195
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: the old building. Yeah, the old building. Yeah it's and

196
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 5: I've always gotta have dube. Yeah in the building.

197
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. I shouldn't be shocking to anybody.

198
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 4: Boy, it wasn't shocking, but I was kind of like,

199
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: maybe I should have gone and said hi.

200
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 5: But if I would have said hi, I probably would

201
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 5: have been like, hey man, this Snoop Dogg. I'm smoking

202
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 5: weed with Snoop Dogg, you know.

203
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: But I didn't do that because I still had to work.

204
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: But that was a really cool memory. I just have

205
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: the good memories of Super Bowl here in Indianapolis.

206
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 5: But if you are recovering an.

207
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 4: Alcoholic, we can't lean on that we have to make

208
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 4: intelligent decisions before we go to our actual Super Bowl party,

209
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: like what am I going to take for refreshments? In

210
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 4: case they don't have anything non alcoholic, that's bad, So

211
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: you take something for yourself. What if somebody ask me

212
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: why am I not drinking? You know, it's it's it's

213
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: a strange question to mean now, but it's you may

214
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: say something like, just well, you know, I have to drive,

215
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 4: you know, something simple. You could have an excuse there,

216
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: but you have to make that plate an advance, so you.

217
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 5: Got to think about it in advance. Okay.

218
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: And another big thing is parking for me, you know,

219
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 4: park on the street.

220
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 5: Don't get parked in that kind of thing.

221
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: Don't put yourself in a situation where you feel like

222
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 4: you have to drink man, or you can't leave, yeah,

223
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: or you can't leave.

224
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: You know you you want to be able to get

225
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 5: that out of there with you.

226
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: The old Irish goodbye and kind of sneak out you

227
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: can't go find whose buick is behind you.

228
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: Love a good Irish goodbye.

229
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: I've written a book on it, you know, a master's

230
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 4: class and just slipping out.

231
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 5: It's it's it's been a good thing.

232
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: And really all we are there to do is to

233
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: say hi and be sociable, let everybody know we're doing well,

234
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 4: you know, be and great.

235
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: It's interesting when your reputation procedes me because the on

236
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: the rare occasions I show up someplace and I don't

237
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: have something in my hand, they're like, what's wrong with you?

238
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 5: Are you sick? Yeah? Yeah, and and like if.

239
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: You're truly in recovery too, it could get like like

240
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: do you have to sit there and explain yourself or

241
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: it's just a simple it's just simple driving to.

242
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 5: Night like, yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

243
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: And by now everybody knows good of what my deal

244
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 4: is made to ask anymore.

245
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 5: But at first you're like, he's not drinking. He's got

246
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 5: to be on something else. You know.

247
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: It's like when you see Elvis, you kind of want

248
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 3: him to be in a jumpsuit.

249
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: When you see Nigel, you kind of want him to

250
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: be drunk better than me.

251
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: Back to the bowling event a couple of weeks ago,

252
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: what's wrong with Nigel.

253
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm not drinking tonight, Okay.

254
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 5: It's I mean, you gotta, you gotta.

255
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: You're making it sound like you know you were Matt

256
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: Bear at our event. Well, there's a little gray area there.

257
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 4: Walking and starts tiding their drinks. Buddy, we didn't expect

258
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 4: this to happen here. Do you guys ever drink yourself

259
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: sober at a Super Bowl party?

260
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: I had?

261
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: I started drinking heavy booze one year. It was the

262
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: I was in college. It was the Packers and the

263
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: Patriot super Bowl, the one that Brett fav won. And

264
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: we started doing a game called the Century Club where

265
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: you take a shot of beer, just the shot of

266
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: beer every you know minute, for one hundred minutes. We

267
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: ran out of beer and we started using everclare. Long

268
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: story short, I pooped in the drawer of my roommate

269
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: on his astronomy folder.

270
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 5: You can't final paper.

271
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: Then I felt bad.

272
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a great story, I mean true story.

273
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 5: I mean, I share my life with you guys.

274
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's my drunken super Bowl moment.

275
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: We had a guy in college you would always pee

276
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: on my roommates shoes.

277
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 5: Marketing is territory.

278
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: Market is territory. Yeah, I drank myself sober super Bowl party.

279
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: I like had a steak and then I kept drinking.

280
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: Jack Daniels and Waters for rest of the night. I

281
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: kept ordering them bartenders looking him.

282
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: And it worked. Yea, the one time it worked.

283
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah. I ended up yaking later.

284
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: Uh and the looks of disappointment because everybody.

285
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 5: Knows you're an adoog and they're like, dude, you keep drinking.

286
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 5: You can't get drunk, and that was kind of my problem.

287
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 5: But the tolerance, yeah, yeah, the tolerance goes up.

288
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,959
