It's been a minute 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:35.680 since we've done it in full. But when we check 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.760 it behind the scenes of the Grind, it's really just 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.800 a time to like sit still and be like, how 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.680 am I really feeling today, this week, this month? What's 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.520 really going on with me? I just came back from 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.520 Norfolk State University Norfolk. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.960 They say that I say it wrong. Hampton. 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.279 It was my first time at Hampton University as well, 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.120 which is a school that Envy graduated from. So he 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.640 took me over to here and there like maybe forty 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.080 five minutes apart if even that, and I was home 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.720 in Delaware. You guys heard the conversation in the episode 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.080 prior to this one or watch and or if you 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.960 have not, please go and find it with my church 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.959 sees the greatness. I was in conversation with Tim Ross, 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:23.600 who is an amazing spiritual leader, podcaster, thought provoker, and 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.440 Noah Mills former Miss Delaware twenty twenty three, but also 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.600 a huge not even just would I would say like advocate, 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.760 but not even just an advocate, but a huge action 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.360 based professional in the mental health space because she does 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.200 so much on a daily working with in the corporate 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.720 arena to make sure that businesses and corporates and brands 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.440 have adequate mental health support because of you know, just 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.040 her life passion somethings she's been through in her life 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:50.680 as well. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.040 Conversation was great. So I've been all over the world 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:54.520 and back. 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.360 I think last night was the first night I actually 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.680 got some real sleep, and boy does going to sleep 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.960 early change your whole perspective on the world, life everything. 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.320 I woke up this morning still was like a little 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.320 bit like ugh, I don't want to get up. But 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.160 once I got up and got going and got the 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.840 day started, I felt the difference in my body between 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.840 today and Monday morning. I think I'm just at that 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.040 age where when I don't get a lot of sleep. 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:22.640 I feel it like in the way I think, the 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.560 way I'm able to communicate, the way I think through 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.639 my attention span, which is already horrible my attention span, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.520 but it's just better. So in noticing that, you know, 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.520 I really want to try and prioritize more sleep. Don't 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.360 know if it'll be possible. I was just saying that 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.400 today to Charlot Mane. Actually, like it's no way in 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.600 this industry for what I do you get good sleep. Like, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.919 it's just not possible. There's not enough hours in the day. 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.880 So that's what's been kind of, you know, back and forth, 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.880 ping pong in my mind. It's like, Yo, I feel 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.679 so amazing having went to sleep so early last night, 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.600 But can I do that every day? Do have enough 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.000 time in life to do that every day? If y'all 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.560 I have good sleep regimens and you can recommend anything 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.720 of like how you're balancing a very demanding work life 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.160 and all the things. I know, parents y'all probably have 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.800 the best advice here. I'm not a parent yet, but 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.760 I don't know, man, I'll be feeling like I'm I'm 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.440 juggling a lot. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.160 Send the tips on over. 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.000 I am more than open for them because I want 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.000 to feel like this every single day. And mind y'all, 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:27.240 today wasn't even like a fully I could have slept 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.240 more like today was like today was great, but I 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.320 still felt like today, like all right, girl, you could 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.320 have did a couple more hours or whatever. But anyway, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.880 so we're here, We're well rested, I'm feeling good. 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.160 Travel was great, It's always fired. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.080 Every October is like that month where I'm at different schools, 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.960 have so many different things going on because the HBCU 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.720 Alumni Tour that I do every year. This is my 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.400 second year doing it. Just God is good. I get 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.480 to go to all these schools and see different people 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:54.800 and experience different things. 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:58.920 And we are ending. I'm ending the tour this week. 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.320 Actually the high Halloween Eve will be. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.320 Which is October thirtieth, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, which 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.440 is the Eagle Stadium. Delaware State University will be playing 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.480 Norfolk State University, and I'm bun be there, Okay, bringing 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.720 you guys all behind the scenes, you know, grabbing content 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:17.800 from everywhere I can. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:18.920 So don't worry. I got you off. 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.120 You can't make it right here. The latest to Lorna 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.120 Rosa will be taking you inside. 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.720 Get in the game. I always wanted to say that. 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.200 But anyway, speaking of sports. 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.560 Segue, but an important segue speaking of sports. Okay, So, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.599 for those of you guys who do not know, Paul 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:40.360 Pierce was recently taken into custody by police for suspicion 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.040 of driving under the influence. 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.400 That was fourteen days ago. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.320 They say that when they arrested him that there was 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.600 signs that he was impaired, and this was following him 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.080 falling asleep behind the wheel and his range Rover. He 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.440 was sitting in traffic on a highway in LA and 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.720 he fell asleep behind the wheel of the car. Now 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.440 cops say that he had been on the highway this 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.200 was during the time of like a crash investigation, so. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:06.920 He'd been sitting still for some time. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.440 And I don't know if you guys have ever driven 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.520 in LA, but you already are city, especially if you're 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.960 driving between a certain time, You're already sitting. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.560 Still for long, long periods of. 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.240 Time, especially if you're driving through certain parts of LA. So, 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.720 like the Valley is always horrible right near downtown. Honestly, 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.200 it's bad all over, but certain parts is it gets 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.160 worse than others in certain days, in certain times. Now 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.200 he was driving at eleven thirty five pm. And again 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.039 LA is one of them places where randomly at times 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:35.800 too there can just be traffic. I used to be like, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.600 where's everybody going right now? Like y'all don't work, Like 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.800 people in LA don't work. In my opinion, everybody's an 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:47.280 influence to everybody. It's just creative and floating and going 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.360 and run in and figuring out life. But everybody got 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.239 somewhere to drive and be when you need to get somewhere. 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.679 So it's eleven thirty five pm. They reopened the highway 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.560 and they discovered Paul Pierce's car. Now again they say 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.400 that they know the signs of alcohol impairment when they 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.880 encountered him, or you know, once they down they're talking 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.760 to him, they're at the car and all the things. 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.920 So they conducted a duy investigation. Then he was arrested 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.520 on the suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.400 a violation of California vehicle cold of course, and he 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:22.400 was taken into a central Central Los Angeles area. 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.520 Office. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.360 Now he did comment on this situation. They have blood 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:35.120 test results. So I'm going to tell you guys first 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:39.080 what he commented before I give you what his blood 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.320 test results from the dy investigation were. So when he 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.640 commented on this situation, Paul Piers, he posted a photo 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.560 to his Instagram and he said, imagine being stuck in 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.760 stand still traffic for forty five minutes and falling asleep 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.120 with the hand covering his face emoji. I took this 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.360 picture that night because I'd never been a stand still 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.479 traffic for this long. I'm old, and I fell asleep 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.040 with the shrugging hands emoji. 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.480 I'm good, y'all. Thanks for the love and the photo 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.559 that he posted. Very much. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.880 Standstill traffic very much gives. You're sitting in LA traffic. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.800 But it makes even more sense if police are saying 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.680 that they had shut down the highway for a car 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.119 crash investigation, right, because that's even more traffic. You're sitting 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.880 still for even longer all of the things. So he 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:27.000 denied it. Now, this was back on April ninth, right, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:32.760 So this week police have updated documents, and according to 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:38.480 those documents and court records, prosecutors are charging Paul Pierce 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.200 with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.200 and one count of driving with a point zero eight 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.320 blood alcohol content. And now this is fourteen days, right, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.280 so about two weeks after he was pulled over, not 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.840 pulled over but because he was already sitting still, but 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.360 after he had encountered police and they had taken him 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.680 in for a suspicion of the DUI Now, I looked 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.920 it up in LA the blood alcohol content like that 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.560 that number that you know, if you're twenty one and 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.720 older you're not supposed to hit. Is that point zero eight? 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.400 So I started thinking, like, okay, and I've reached out 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.360 to Paul Pierces everybody I could find. I reached out 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.000 to his agents, and I believe it was a manager. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.240 I'll verify that in a second, but I believe it 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.920 was a manager. No one has responded yet. I want 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.600 to try and find an attorney because when I look 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:35.640 this up, I'm like, Okay, if that's the number, what's 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.960 the scale of you hit. I mean, once you hit 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:43.439 that number, it becomes illegal. But is there Because there 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.760 was a note under the law that I read that 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.640 said that it kind of depends on your impairment, I'm 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.400 gonna actually bring it up. So this is from the 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.600 California DMV. When I was researching for the story, I 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.679 just wanted to know, like what all legal limits were. 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.720 I didn't know if it veris stayed to say, like 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.040 the blood alcohol concentration that you will here keep people 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.240 mentioning when they talk about the story, is that number 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.800 when you consume alcohol and traces of it into your bloodstream. 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.720 Your blood alcohol content measures how much alcohol is present 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.120 in your bloodstream. It is illegal for you to drive 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.920 if you've had if you have a blood alcohol level 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.360 of point zero eight or higher if you are over 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.000 twenty one years old. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:21.120 Okay. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.839 It also says if you drive with an illegal blood 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.040 alcohol content, and law enforcement officer can charge you with DY. 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.560 Even if your BAC your blood alcohol content is below 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.520 legal limits, that does not mean it is safe for 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.240 you to drive. Almost everyone feels negative effects of alcohol, 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.920 even at levels lower than illegal limit. Depending on how 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.319 badly you are impaired, you may be arrested or convicted 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:43.320 for DUY even without a blood alcohol content measurement. And 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.360 there's a table of how many drinks you've consumed, your gender, 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.760 your body weight, the reason why, Like when I was 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.640 looking at this, I was like, okay, so I'm trying 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.280 to think what is his argument here? Like, if I'm 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.120 Paul Pierce, what is your argument here? How do you 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.840 argue because your blood says point oh eight, it's illegal 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:05.480 at that point? 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:10.000 Right? But do you try and argue anything. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.079 To try and like Lessen, I guess like legally, how 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.400 this hits you in court or even if not, how 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.160 it hits you in court, because I feel like, even 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.040 with a justin Timberlake, it doesn't matter how many drinks 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.320 you have and where are people where they test you. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.080 Whatever, the law is the law, right. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.480 But I think the fact that Paul Pierce came out 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.079 and posted that statement, volunteering the statement and said, hey, 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.120 I was just sleep, Like, thank y'all for checking in. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.480 I was just sleep. I'm old, like, are they gonna 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:47.680 try and argue this? And what do they say if so? 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.520 So I started reading more and I'm like, okay, you 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.960 have to admit that there were drinks involved because it 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:52.720 was in your bloodstream. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:52.960 Right. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.800 So with that statement, I'm thinking, Okay, they lean in 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.720 and they say, Okay, here's what he drank, here's evidence 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.640 of it from where he was, and here's why we're 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.520 saying this shouldn't have been classified as anything under the 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:11.280 influence and making him incapable of driving because of his 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.880 body masks or body makeup and gender and all the things, like, 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.120 I don't know, none of that makes sense to me. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.040 But it also doesn't make sense that you would make 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.160 that statement knowing that you had a couple drinks. And 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.920 maybe he didn't because another thing too, I didn't have 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.040 to read this to understand it. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.840 I just you know, I'm a drinker. I've been drunk before. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:33.360 Alcohol hits everybody differently, so I think sometimes too, depending 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.440 on how frequent you drink or lack thereof, Not only 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.360 does it hit people differently, but I think people always 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:45.000 think they're less than what they are. So maybe he 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.080 is at point eight, but he feels able to dry 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.080 and because of all those things, the factors of you know, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.160 his gender, his height, his weight, and all these things. 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.280 He's thinking because he doesn't actively feel. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:00.280 Impaired, he's cool. 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.240 But I don't know any core in the land that 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.960 will be like, oh you know what, Yeah, people die 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.559 behind drunk driving, you know what I'm saying. So I 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.320 really just don't understand why he volunteered that statement. I 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.080 know the same thing just recently happened to Adrian Peterson, 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.679 the football star. He hasn't said anything. I think that 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.600 that's the best bet is to not say anything. Adrian 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.840 Peterson was found behind the will of his car sleep 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.520 in a gas station and when police interacted with him, 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.200 there was signs of impairment as well, they alleged to 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.720 I just don't understand why Paul Pierce made the statement 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.880 the way that people don't pay about drunk driving. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.400 I get it. I lost a front of drunk driving 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.400 my first year out of college. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.920 It's a horrible thing to have to experience, so I 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.000 understand it, and I think maybe this was him trying 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.000 to like say face publicly. But I don't care about 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.280 any of these factors that you read on these DMV 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.760 websites or whatever. And I know all these things are 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.080 taken into account as you're when you're an officer and 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.160 you're talking to someone in your because I know too, 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.400 like they asked you or you taking any medicines actively, 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.280 and like they're trying to figure out what level of 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.400 impairment and just where you are and just see signs 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.160 of anything so they know what to do from there 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:09.800 on out. I don't think I would have volunteered that 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.200 at all. I don't think it makes any better public 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.640 appearance wise, And if it's to say face like brand 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.280 wise or whatever the reasoning. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.520 Is, it doesn't soften it. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.520 Like it is what it is at this point, and 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.560 you just deal with the consequences of it and just 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:28.079 be happy that he fell asleep allegedly sitting behind the 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.440 will of his car, not even allegedly because he said 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.320 he was tired. He said he fell asleep, but he 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.640 says it was because of traffic behind the wheel of 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.880 his car in traffic sitting on a highway. Can you 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.480 imagine how dangerous that is for the oncoming cars but 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.600 also for himself. Like, you're lucky to be alive at 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.520 this point. Now, I did want to talk a bit 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.280 about just so we have Sophie here. Sophie works on 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:50.679 the team here with the podcast, and when we were 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:53.320 talking about this story, as I was getting prepared for it, 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.160 she was telling me that she works at a spot nearby. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.880 They train them on just different ways to cite and 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.120 pyramid when it comes to drinking and things like, because 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.319 you know, you out at the bars, they got to 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.400 cut you off at a certain point. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.199 So she was sharing some different, very interesting things. 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.920 To me, just about how alcohol hits people in different ways, 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.480 and I'm like, well, maybe again, because I'm just trying 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.319 to think, why, if I'm Paul Pierce, why would. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.880 I post that statement? No one, They're gonna test me. 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.280 If you're training to do stuff behind the bar, you 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.160 have to do this very lengthy. It can even be 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.160 like six hours of tips training where you look at 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.840 people's ideas to see whether they're fake or they're real. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.920 But on top of that, you also get these videos 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.760 that you have to respond to answers with and you 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.480 have to check their back, which is their alcohol content levels. Right, 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:49.960 but also, as mildly sexist as it sounds, women get 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:50.960 drunker faster. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.440 That is just the fact I can attest. I can 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.840 attest it. I don't. I don't. I don't. 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.920 I don't get drunker faster and then try and drive. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.320 I've been warned about that so and so so many times. 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.720 But listen, I'd be trying to outdrink, like even like 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.240 even out with Bay or when you with your male friends, 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.680 like you, you know, you'd be trying to hang until 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.440 you're literally hanging over the toilet. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.280 Yeah, yeah, Like I don't think it's sexist. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.280 Yeah, I was like, you know, I was talking to 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.320 somebody too when I was taking the test, because you know, 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:24.640 we all have to take it at the same time. 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.920 It's like a yearly thing and it's like your enzyme 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.440 breakdown like in your body and stuff like that. But 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.240 it's also your genetics. If you come from a family, 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.800 people are always like, oh, like Irish people, like they 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.640 can drink. They got the stomach. Believe it or not, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.280 it's your you know, genetic makeups. Some people can have like, 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.520 let's say, eight drinks and still feel okay. And with 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.640 alcohol though, like comes a confidence level. People feel more 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.200 free and lose and confident. So some people think in 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.240 their brain because once you're drink, that hits your brain 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:03.480 and fect you not only like physically, but mentally. Yeah, 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.160 so they are like, oh, I could drive, I could drive. 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.920 It's like, but no, you can't. But then it's also 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:13.640 like when you are fatigued and when you're stressed, you 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.320 also come back with higher alcohol levels because it hits 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:17.920 you harder. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.040 That's crazy because you when you are So when I'm 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.160 fatigued and I'm drinking, Like I was just telling you guys, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.520 I was at homecoming and or a bunch of different 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:31.520 homecomings this past weekend for hostings, and oh yeah, like 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.840 I was so tired because we were literally coming right 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:39.320 from the show. It takes me longer in my opinion, 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.000 to fill the alcohol when I'm tired, but when it hits, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.760 it's like I'm tired, like I need to go lay down, 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.640 I'm done. I'm lit, Like I gotta like you know 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.840 what I mean, and I know that, and I'm like 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.560 a very well well, I'm very well aware of that 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.640 about myself. And that's too And again, this is all ledge. 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:56.320 We don't know. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:01.360 Paul Pearce is saying he wasn't under the influence. Police 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.440 are saying that they've tested and other things, and they don't. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:07.560 They're not saying the same thing that he is. But 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:08.840 one of the things that I've had to learn in 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.560 my adult life is like I got to know about myself, like, girl. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.560 You should uber because the confidence. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.119 Level be there and you be like, nah, I got it, 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.320 I got it, Like and now was like, I mean, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.080 you got life to lose, but also like you don't 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.359 want put nobody else's life in danger. My biggest question 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.639 for celebrities and it's again, this is not even just 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.439 directedtor Paul Pierce, because I know justin Timberlake had a 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.480 situation like this. There's been so many celeb situations like this. 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.800 I always be like, why are y'all driving anyway? I 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.080 would love to just be able to have a car 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:44.560 service on payroll. Nothing, especially in LA, nothing in me 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.399 wants to be the person that has to driving is 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.720 so much responsibility. I would so much rather be in 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.800 the back of my car, scrolling on my phone on FaceTime, free, 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.200 young Wilder, Free, Like I literally don't understand that. And 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.080 then a lot of times people say, well, it's because 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.360 they want to feel regular, like they want to drive themselves, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.879 they want to I get all that, but I promise you, 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.280 especially when I'm going out, like when I'm oh my god, 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.400 I hate. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:12.600 The prices of ubers and all that. 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.840 Sometimes, but I swear, like, especially more recently, I'd be like, 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.040 all right, you want to be able to go there 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:19.399 and have a good time, or you want to go 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.520 there and think about everything you can't do and how 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.800 much you can't do it because you can't afford none 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.320 of this, like at all. 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.080 I don't understand it. 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.119 You can afford to do it as well, Like I 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:35.159 don't understand that with celebrities. I've never understood why they 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.159 just want to drive themselves in general, but especially not 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.920 why you're drinking or out socially or whatever and then 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:46.000 choose to drive, you know. And in Paul Pierce's situation, 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.680 it's alleged and we don't know where he was coming from, 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.359 and we don't, you know, there's so many details we 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:54.399 do not know. But in his alleged situation, in the 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:58.480 Adrian Peterson situation, allegedly, I don't understand why, like why, 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.959 like I, why not just get somebody to drive you, 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.760 even if it's your fly ass car? Why not pay somebody? 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:07.639 Like most of the time too, I feel like you 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.679 have assistance. And these are not people that might not 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.600 sit up under you all damned day long, but you 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.920 need somebody you could figure it out. I just don't 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:19.080 get it. There's a lot about this I don't get. 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:21.560 I'm trying to put some you know, answers. I think 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:24.639 more answers will come out as time goes by. But again, 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:26.800 you know, I think all in all, the biggest thing 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.480 here is we're just all lucky. 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.879 No one was hurt, Like I mean the names involved. 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.320 You know, if this is if all of the if 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.720 the allegations and accusations are true, they are lucky they 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:39.800 didn't hurt themselves and that no one else was hurt 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.160
