1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Senior citizens demanding that the state of Minnesota allow them

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: to have happy hour during their nursing home. Let them

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: drink in their nursing homes without a liquor license. Rearly like,

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: if you have lived in an assisted living facility and

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't think this is abnormal, I think this is everywhere,

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: and I'll give you an example. Remind me to give

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: you an example here. So this new Minnesota bill would

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: allow nursing homes to host happy hours without a liquor license.

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: Here's anita, older gal living in an assisted living facility

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: speaking in front of the legislature in Minnesota.

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: Benson, I love happy or just like many of you do.

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 2: I am sure just because we are older and live

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: in an assisted living doesn't mean that we should have

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: fewer freedoms than anyone else. Allowing our facility to coordinate

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: this happy hour affords us and our families the peace

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: of mind that we can enjoy life but not be

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: out slipping on the ice to stop and get our

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: box of wine. This amendment is simply putting into law

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: what many people assume is already allowed happy hour at

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: the place where we call home. My only regret is

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: that you might not get invited to one of these

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: happy hours if it gets us pasted. It's to come.

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: There's an age threshold. Now, I see how it is.

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: I'm all for it.

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: Me do let these people and they assisted living have

26
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: their happy hours.

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: She made a great point, she said, this is where

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: we live.

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh I my grandmother lives in a place

30
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: where there's a pub.

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's a happy hour or not

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: because the.

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Law, well the laws are different here in Indianapolis now.

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: But she lives in a place where you can get

35
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: to a just walk shuffle. You can shuffle to the

36
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: fucking shuffle. You can use your walker, you could use

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: your you know, Walmart kind of scooter.

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: I wonder, I remember it goes there, just comes back trashed. Oh,

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: I'm sure, grandmother.

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: Let me be let me be clear. My grandmother does it.

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: She's never taken a drink of alcohol.

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: But Frank has and Frank lives in that building and

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: shuffles to the.

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Frank Frank lives in that community, and he wants to

45
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: go to the pub and if he wants a beer,

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: he could have a beer. I had a buddy whose

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: grandma was in assisted living and they did not let

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: allow alcohol in any way, shape or form within the complex.

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: And he would sneak her in vodka, which is I think,

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean frowned upon.

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: Frowned upon. But what a great grandson.

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: That is a great I will admit. When my papa

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 4: was alive, when my great honestly, one of the best memories,

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: last memories I had, was sneaking in fireball for him

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 4: at his living That's yeah, he love fireball because he

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 4: could taste it. Because I guess when you're older, you're

57
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: a taste Boks kind of go. But man, that fireball,

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 4: he could still taste that in Margarita's And I will

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: say he was in there because of physical ailments, not

60
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: because of mental things. And he said to me that

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 4: was that was some normalcy that got brought back into

62
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: his life. And like a sweet little Anita was saying,

63
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 4: I am all for this.

64
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: Let them drink my buddy his I don't know if

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: I should say this or not.

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: Maybe I've said it on the air before, but he

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: nicknamed his grandma d Ui Granny because in her eighties

68
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: she got a du She got a DUI. Now do

69
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: UIs aren't funny? You should never drink and drive. I understood.

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: I get all that, Okay, But when you're in your

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: eighties and you're a woman and you're a widow and

72
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: you're underway to the liquor store to get more vodka

73
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: and you get pulled over and get it d ui,

74
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: that's different. I mean, I'm not excusing it, but that

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: was his nickname. And I commend him for sneaking in

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: the pints of vodka for his grandmother to enjoy in

77
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the last days of her life.

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: I don't I hold no ill will I.

79
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that's wrong in any way, shape or

80
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 1: form whatsoever. Yeah, I mean, I could I agree more

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: give me crap on the YouTube channel at Hammer and

82
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: Nigel on X maybe I'm.

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 4: Obviously I'm not condoning alcoholism or if they have medication

84
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: that can't mix with alcohol.

85
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: Obviously those are issues.

86
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: That's probably the reason why. Sure, that's probably the reason,

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: one of the main reasons. But some of these communities

88
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: STDs run rampant.

89
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah in the old folks home, iagine if they were hammered. Yeah, right,

90
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: So that's the thing.

91
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: And I am all for as as sweet Alison put
