Okay, So, 96 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: for those of you guys who do not know, Paul 97 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: Pierce was recently taken into custody by police for suspicion 98 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: of driving under the influence. 99 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: That was fourteen days ago. 100 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: They say that when they arrested him that there was 101 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: signs that he was impaired, and this was following him 102 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: falling asleep behind the wheel and his range Rover. He 103 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: was sitting in traffic on a highway in LA and 104 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: he fell asleep behind the wheel of the car. Now 105 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: cops say that he had been on the highway this 106 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: was during the time of like a crash investigation, so. 107 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: He'd been sitting still for some time. 108 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you guys have ever driven 109 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: in LA, but you already are city, especially if you're 110 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: driving between a certain time, You're already sitting. 111 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: Still for long, long periods of. 112 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: Time, especially if you're driving through certain parts of LA. So, 113 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: like the Valley is always horrible right near downtown. Honestly, 114 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: it's bad all over, but certain parts is it gets 115 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: worse than others in certain days, in certain times. Now 116 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: he was driving at eleven thirty five pm. And again 117 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: LA is one of them places where randomly at times 118 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: too there can just be traffic. I used to be like, 119 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: where's everybody going right now? Like y'all don't work, Like 120 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: people in LA don't work. In my opinion, everybody's an 121 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: influence to everybody. It's just creative and floating and going 122 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: and run in and figuring out life. But everybody got 123 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: somewhere to drive and be when you need to get somewhere. 124 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: So it's eleven thirty five pm. They reopened the highway 125 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: and they discovered Paul Pierce's car. Now again they say 126 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: that they know the signs of alcohol impairment when they 127 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: encountered him, or you know, once they down they're talking 128 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: to him, they're at the car and all the things. 129 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: So they conducted a duy investigation. Then he was arrested 130 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: on the suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, 131 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: a violation of California vehicle cold of course, and he 132 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: was taken into a central Central Los Angeles area. 133 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: Office. 134 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: Now he did comment on this situation. They have blood 135 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: test results. So I'm going to tell you guys first 136 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: what he commented before I give you what his blood 137 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: test results from the dy investigation were. So when he 138 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: commented on this situation, Paul Piers, he posted a photo 139 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: to his Instagram and he said, imagine being stuck in 140 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: stand still traffic for forty five minutes and falling asleep 141 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: with the hand covering his face emoji. I took this 142 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: picture that night because I'd never been a stand still 143 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: traffic for this long. I'm old, and I fell asleep 144 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: with the shrugging hands emoji. 145 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 2: I'm good, y'all. Thanks for the love and the photo 146 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 2: that he posted. Very much. 147 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: Standstill traffic very much gives. You're sitting in LA traffic. 148 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: But it makes even more sense if police are saying 149 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: that they had shut down the highway for a car 150 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,119 Speaker 1: crash investigation, right, because that's even more traffic. You're sitting 151 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: still for even longer all of the things. So he 152 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: denied it. Now, this was back on April ninth, right, 153 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: So this week police have updated documents, and according to 154 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: those documents and court records, prosecutors are charging Paul Pierce 155 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol 156 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: and one count of driving with a point zero eight 157 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: blood alcohol content. And now this is fourteen days, right, 158 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: so about two weeks after he was pulled over, not 159 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: pulled over but because he was already sitting still, but 160 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: after he had encountered police and they had taken him 161 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: in for a suspicion of the DUI Now, I looked 162 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: it up in LA the blood alcohol content like that 163 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: that number that you know, if you're twenty one and 164 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: older you're not supposed to hit. Is that point zero eight? 165 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: So I started thinking, like, okay, and I've reached out 166 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: to Paul Pierces everybody I could find. I reached out 167 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: to his agents, and I believe it was a manager. 168 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: I'll verify that in a second, but I believe it 169 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: was a manager. No one has responded yet. I want 170 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: to try and find an attorney because when I look 171 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: this up, I'm like, Okay, if that's the number, what's 172 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: the scale of you hit. I mean, once you hit 173 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: that number, it becomes illegal. But is there Because there 174 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: was a note under the law that I read that 175 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: said that it kind of depends on your impairment, I'm 176 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: gonna actually bring it up. So this is from the 177 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: California DMV. When I was researching for the story, I 178 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: just wanted to know, like what all legal limits were. 179 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: I didn't know if it veris stayed to say, like 180 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: the blood alcohol concentration that you will here keep people 181 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: mentioning when they talk about the story, is that number 182 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: when you consume alcohol and traces of it into your bloodstream. 183 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: Your blood alcohol content measures how much alcohol is present 184 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: in your bloodstream. It is illegal for you to drive 185 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: if you've had if you have a blood alcohol level 186 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: of point zero eight or higher if you are over 187 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: twenty one years old. 188 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: Okay. 189 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: It also says if you drive with an illegal blood 190 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: alcohol content, and law enforcement officer can charge you with DY. 191 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: Even if your BAC your blood alcohol content is below 192 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: legal limits, that does not mean it is safe for 193 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: you to drive. Almost everyone feels negative effects of alcohol, 194 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: even at levels lower than illegal limit. Depending on how 195 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: badly you are impaired, you may be arrested or convicted 196 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: for DUY even without a blood alcohol content measurement. And 197 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: there's a table of how many drinks you've consumed, your gender, 198 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: your body weight, the reason why, Like when I was 199 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: looking at this, I was like, okay, so I'm trying 200 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: to think what is his argument here? Like, if I'm 201 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: Paul Pierce, what is your argument here? How do you 202 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: argue because your blood says point oh eight, it's illegal 203 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: at that point? 204 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: Right? But do you try and argue anything. 205 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: To try and like Lessen, I guess like legally, how 206 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: this hits you in court or even if not, how 207 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: it hits you in court, because I feel like, even 208 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: with a justin Timberlake, it doesn't matter how many drinks 209 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: you have and where are people where they test you. 210 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 2: Whatever, the law is the law, right. 211 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: But I think the fact that Paul Pierce came out 212 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: and posted that statement, volunteering the statement and said, hey, 213 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: I was just sleep, Like, thank y'all for checking in. 214 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 2: I was just sleep. I'm old, like, are they gonna 215 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: try and argue this? And what do they say if so? 216 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: So I started reading more and I'm like, okay, you 217 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: have to admit that there were drinks involved because it 218 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: was in your bloodstream. 219 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 3: Right. 220 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: So with that statement, I'm thinking, Okay, they lean in 221 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: and they say, Okay, here's what he drank, here's evidence 222 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: of it from where he was, and here's why we're 223 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: saying this shouldn't have been classified as anything under the 224 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: influence and making him incapable of driving because of his 225 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: body masks or body makeup and gender and all the things, like, 226 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, none of that makes sense to me. 227 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: But it also doesn't make sense that you would make 228 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: that statement knowing that you had a couple drinks. And 229 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: maybe he didn't because another thing too, I didn't have 230 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: to read this to understand it. 231 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: I just you know, I'm a drinker. I've been drunk before. 232 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: Alcohol hits everybody differently, so I think sometimes too, depending 233 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: on how frequent you drink or lack thereof, Not only 234 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: does it hit people differently, but I think people always 235 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: think they're less than what they are. So maybe he 236 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: is at point eight, but he feels able to dry 237 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and because of all those things, the factors of you know, 238 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: his gender, his height, his weight, and all these things. 239 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: He's thinking because he doesn't actively feel. 240 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: Impaired, he's cool. 241 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: But I don't know any core in the land that 242 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: will be like, oh you know what, Yeah, people die 243 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: behind drunk driving, you know what I'm saying. So I 244 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: really just don't understand why he volunteered that statement. I 245 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: know the same thing just recently happened to Adrian Peterson, 246 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: the football star. He hasn't said anything. I think that 247 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: that's the best bet is to not say anything. Adrian 248 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: Peterson was found behind the will of his car sleep 249 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: in a gas station and when police interacted with him, 250 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: there was signs of impairment as well, they alleged to 251 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: I just don't understand why Paul Pierce made the statement 252 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: the way that people don't pay about drunk driving. 253 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: I get it. I lost a front of drunk driving 254 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: my first year out of college. 255 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: It's a horrible thing to have to experience, so I 256 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: understand it, and I think maybe this was him trying 257 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: to like say face publicly. But I don't care about 258 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: any of these factors that you read on these DMV 259 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: websites or whatever. And I know all these things are 260 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: taken into account as you're when you're an officer and 261 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: you're talking to someone in your because I know too, 262 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: like they asked you or you taking any medicines actively, 263 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: and like they're trying to figure out what level of 264 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: impairment and just where you are and just see signs 265 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: of anything so they know what to do from there 266 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: on out. I don't think I would have volunteered that 267 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: at all. I don't think it makes any better public 268 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: appearance wise, And if it's to say face like brand 269 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: wise or whatever the reasoning. 270 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 2: Is, it doesn't soften it. 271 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: Like it is what it is at this point, and 272 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: you just deal with the consequences of it and just 273 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: be happy that he fell asleep allegedly sitting behind the 274 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: will of his car, not even allegedly because he said 275 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: he was tired. He said he fell asleep, but he 276 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: says it was because of traffic behind the wheel of 277 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: his car in traffic sitting on a highway. Can you 278 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: imagine how dangerous that is for the oncoming cars but 279 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: also for himself. Like, you're lucky to be alive at 280 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: this point. Now, I did want to talk a bit 281 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: about just so we have Sophie here. Sophie works on 282 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: the team here with the podcast, and when we were 283 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: talking about this story, as I was getting prepared for it, 284 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: she was telling me that she works at a spot nearby. 285 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: They train them on just different ways to cite and 286 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: pyramid when it comes to drinking and things like, because 287 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: you know, you out at the bars, they got to 288 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: cut you off at a certain point. 289 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: So she was sharing some different, very interesting things. 290 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: To me, just about how alcohol hits people in different ways, 291 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, maybe again, because I'm just trying 292 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: to think, why, if I'm Paul Pierce, why would. 293 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: I post that statement? No one, They're gonna test me. 294 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 3: If you're training to do stuff behind the bar, you 295 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: have to do this very lengthy. It can even be 296 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 3: like six hours of tips training where you look at 297 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: people's ideas to see whether they're fake or they're real. 298 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 3: But on top of that, you also get these videos 299 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 3: that you have to respond to answers with and you 300 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: have to check their back, which is their alcohol content levels. Right, 301 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: but also, as mildly sexist as it sounds, women get 302 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 3: drunker faster. 303 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: That is just the fact I can attest. I can 304 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: attest it. I don't. I don't. I don't. 305 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: I don't get drunker faster and then try and drive. 306 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: I've been warned about that so and so so many times. 307 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: But listen, I'd be trying to outdrink, like even like 308 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: even out with Bay or when you with your male friends, 309 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: like you, you know, you'd be trying to hang until 310 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: you're literally hanging over the toilet. 311 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like I don't think it's sexist. 312 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, you know, I was talking to 313 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: somebody too when I was taking the test, because you know, 314 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 3: we all have to take it at the same time. 315 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 3: It's like a yearly thing and it's like your enzyme 316 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 3: breakdown like in your body and stuff like that. But 317 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: it's also your genetics. If you come from a family, 318 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 3: people are always like, oh, like Irish people, like they 319 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 3: can drink. They got the stomach. Believe it or not, 320 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 3: it's your you know, genetic makeups. Some people can have like, 321 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 3: let's say, eight drinks and still feel okay. And with 322 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 3: alcohol though, like comes a confidence level. People feel more 323 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 3: free and lose and confident. So some people think in 324 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 3: their brain because once you're drink, that hits your brain 325 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: and fect you not only like physically, but mentally. Yeah, 326 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: so they are like, oh, I could drive, I could drive. 327 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: It's like, but no, you can't.
