1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Okay, So the big topic here is we've been discussing

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: these ambulance chasers, these law firms that every city has these, right,

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: all of them do. And sometimes when you're driving on

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: the freeway you see the same one in different states

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: and you're like, what do you what? Yeah, so it's

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: like you may the companies that have like the billboards

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: they're on the side buses. Yeah, it's everywhere, and they're

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: basically looking for these sure fire cases, right yeah, and

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: and and I think they'll promise is also that you

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: don't pay until they get paid kind of thing. So

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: they only take ones that they know that they can

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: invest the time in because they're going to get paid,

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 1: and they probably take half of your money. And so

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: you thought that you had a direct case for them.

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's I feel like when you sign

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: up and log onto a lift or uber and you're drunk,

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: you should have a sober person pick you up, and

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: it should be it's as dry as that. And I

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: think that because these companies are allowing drivers to simply

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: turn an app on and get in their car and

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: go pick people up, there's a liability there. Absolutely, there's

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: a responsibility to make sure that there are ways to

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: prevent it from happening, and correct me if I'm wrong,

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: But I think there are apps on the iPhone that

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: you can do a breathalyzer with, like at the very least,

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: they could make it so that every fifteen minutes, if

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: you've got your app running, you have to, you know,

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: do a breathalyzer that goes in through the API or

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: something just to verify that whatever. But I think there

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: are technological ways for them to protect the customer and

31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: they're not doing it. So I want to make a

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: stink about it. So what happened. Let's talk about this.

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: It was the big grand opening of Derek'spanley's Whiskey Row.

34
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Who is both a part of it. We both work

35
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: for Derek's in some way. But you obviously went. You

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: obviously shut it down. We did shut it down. I

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: mean it was meant to be a party, for sure,

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: it was, and so there was a lot of alcohol

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: and there was a lot about consumed. And then your

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: responsible yep, I took a lift over too, and by

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: the way, specifically was taking lift because I was so

42
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: angry about the corporate culture at Uber that I was

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: not taking ubers like i'd like sworn off uber. So

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: I took a lift to another bar and I closed

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: that one down for you, and then I called a

46
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: lift to go home. And it was, you know, the

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: bar was closing. It was two o'clock in the morning,

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: and um, it was ten degrees out. It was in

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: January or February. It was really cold, and um, my

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: lift picks me up. We're driving. We're going up this

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: infamous road in East Nashville called Gallatin that the cops

52
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: love to line, you know, after the bars, and we're

53
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: riding and I noticed that there was a cop riding

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: behind us with its lights on. And at first I

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if it was for us, you know, you

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: just never know when they're gonna pass. And then I

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: realized this cop is staying behind us. So I said

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: something to my driver, I think there's a cop behind you.

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: And then so he pulled over and he actually got on. Yeah,

60
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: he had his blue lights on, was not stopping, and

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: so the the you know, he's asked to step out

62
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: of the car and the cops said, do you know

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: how fast you were going? He was driving fifty and

64
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: a thirty and apparently was swerving. I didn't notice any

65
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: of that because I was drunk. But then I thought

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: I'd never witnessed a field sobriety test before, um except

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: on TV, so it's you know there, that is what

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: it is. But so I witnessed him getting his field

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: sobriety test into me. It looked like the cop was

70
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: doing everything he could to make this guy fail. You know.

71
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: I just looked like every time he passed, he would

72
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: make it more complicated. But I don't know, maybe what

73
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: he was doing it right. But the next morning, oh well,

74
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: let's wait, I won't fast forward. So then I'm sitting

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: in the car for an hour with no heat. It's

76
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: ten degrees. They cart him off. He gets taken away,

77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: and then they took him like straight left his car,

78
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: left his car on the side of sitting in the car,

79
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: left me sitting in the car. And then they realized

80
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: there was a passenger, and they came and got me

81
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: out of the car, patted me down, put me in

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: the back of a cop car, which by the way,

83
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: I had never been in, And there's no cushions on

84
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: the seat. It's just like it looks like the back

85
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: seat of a normal car. But it's just hard plastic

86
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: and the leg room is not existent. Well, that's just

87
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: adding injury in right, right there? Is that the way

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: you say it is injury. I mean, if you're mixing things,

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: that can be either way. I guess. But then I

90
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: they dropped me off at my house at three thirty

91
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: in the morning, and they aren't allowed I guess they.

92
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're not allowed to. But he

93
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: did not pull into my driveway, which meant he had

94
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: to stop in the middle of the road, which meant

95
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: he had to turn his blue lights. One could have

96
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: seen getting out of the back of a cop car

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: in front of my house, tarnishing a repe patient. I mean,

98
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: I am important, okay, but anyway on my on my block,

99
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: I am, I was, I was, but anyway, so it's

100
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: now I have to use Oh and then I went

101
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: home and passed out, and I woke up to like

102
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: a forty eight dollar charge for this you ride from

103
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: them lift they had the audacity. So then I sent

104
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: them an email and you know, like I wake up

105
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: to like p and probably throw up in the morning,

106
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: and then um so and I see the charge and

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: a fire off am and I said, oh no, I'm

108
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: not paying this my driver got a DUI last night

109
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: with me in the car. And then I go back

110
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: to sleep and like fifteen minutes later, I'm awoke into

111
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: my phone ringing and it's Lift calling. And the all

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: they did was they they obviously negated the charge and

113
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: they gave me a twenty credit that was good for

114
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: sixty days. That was what they did. And finally alone

115
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: that I was seeking legal counsel. And then I got

116
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: a call from like a supervisor to which I didn't answer,

117
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: and then they emailed me and I never responded, and um,

118
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: then then I got subpoena to go to court three

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: times by like the state was suing him, you know.

120
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: So I got subpoena to go to court. I had

121
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: to go three times miss work, and I paid fifteen

122
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: dollars to part each time. So I'm not only did

123
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: I not I lost the twenty dollar credit, but I

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm forty five dollars in for going to court and

125
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: this guy. And finally I said, I said to the

126
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: d A, I'm not coming back, like you all keep

127
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: the lawyer keeps extending the case and this is a

128
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: waste of my time and money and you didn't do anything.

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Witness so let's talk about your legal counsel. So we

130
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: spoke about the ambulance chasers earlier in this episode, and

131
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: you decided that that was your best route to approach

132
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: one of these ambulance chases. You know, I did it

133
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: for like comedic purposes. I mean, he's like the big

134
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: celebrity and natural bart Drham Like. Well, I mean that's

135
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: a really I meture. There are people in town that

136
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: know who he is and don't know who Garth Brooks is.

137
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of celebrities that live here. Yeah. Yeah,

138
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: so I mean he's a cety to you. I did

139
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: have lunch across the table from him one day and

140
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: was literally sneaking pictures of him. Okay, so you're a fan,

141
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: so that was essentially why you wanted to call him,

142
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: But you also thought you had a real case. Yeah,

143
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like it's I mean, I'm not

144
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: I haven't even applied to law school more or less

145
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: gone to a day of it, so who knows what

146
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: I know. But I feel like it's a there should

147
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: be a case, and it's more of a to me,

148
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: it's more of a like a send them a scary

149
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: letter so that they should pay me to go away,

150
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: because I think it's more of a pr nightmare for them,

151
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: because you know, it's like when women are assaulted, it's

152
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I think it's very easy to feel like, oh my god,

153
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm the only person that has ever happened to and

154
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: then I you tell your story to the media, and

155
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: then the dominoes fall and you find out like this

156
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: is a problem. It is happening all over the place,

157
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: and um, I would you know, I would venture to

158
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: say that there are probably plenty of lifted Uber drivers

159
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: out there that should not be driving. So when you

160
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: approached said ambulance chaser law firm, what happened? Um, they

161
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: referred me to another law firm, but they didn't want

162
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: your case. They didn't want my case, And I wish

163
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: I could remember what it was called, because it had

164
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: a really funny name too. I guess we don't obviously

165
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: beating all of those out Um. And then I tried

166
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: another one of the ambulance chasers. No one would take

167
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: my case. I think it's they want things that are

168
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: really cut and dry, where you were like physically hurt,

169
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: because didn't you have whiplash or something. I mean, I

170
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: wish i'd gone to the hospital and I wish I'd

171
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: started seeing a shrink right after something for pain and suffering. Well,

172
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: here today, on this episode of a casual, you've decided

173
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: to follow up. Although this is a year later, isn't

174
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: there some sort of like limitation is probably expired? But

175
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: you know what this is for comedic purposes and giggles.

176
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: Let's be real here, We're gonna follow up with these

177
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: ambulance chasers and see if they have changed their mind.

178
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: I want to take your case. We're going to find

179
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: a lawyer as shady as the shade under that tree.

180
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: What if we become multimillionaires from this, I mean, it

181
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: would be amazing casuals all day? Okay, here we go, Okay,

182
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: just kidding. Turns out we can't use that because we

183
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: recorded somebody without their permissions. So that's illegal. So you

184
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: cannot record someone and put it out to the public

185
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: without their permission. So, knowing that like she probably wouldn't

186
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: give us permissions, we knew it was futile to call

187
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: back and try and accomplish it. So I really wanted

188
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: you guys to hear I know you did too. So

189
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: we did a reenactment and Chip is going to be himself.

190
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: He's playing the part himself and also the anonymous receptionist.

191
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: Here's that call. But um, I and and there have

192
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: been so many, um, there have been so many like

193
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: cases of it's a rideshare situation. My UM driver was

194
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: arrested and charged with d U I UM when I

195
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: was in a lift and it's gotcha starring Yeah right, okay,

196
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: and he's I believe was convicted. Right. So did you

197
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: say that you called our firm before or did you

198
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: already give him information on your case or is this

199
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: the first time that you're calling about the specific matter?

200
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: I called about this, UM, but I can't remember who

201
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: I spoke to. Oh, oh that's okay, UM, and it

202
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: was it was probably a year ago at this point,

203
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: if not longer, gotcha okay, UM. So I don't have

204
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: anyone available from our legal team to take your all

205
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: right now. But what I do want to do is

206
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: take down your contact information. That's who we can reach

207
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: you regarding your case. If Part Dark calls me back,

208
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to die and then they can give you

209
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: a call back and discuss your case a little bit

210
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: more with you. So can I have your name? Yeah,

211
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: it's chip dorsh. That's d O R S c H. Perfect?

212
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: And um, what's a good call back number for you? Okay,

213
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write that down and then I'm gonna throw

214
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: it away. But let's keep pretending that someone cares. Is

215
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: your first name spelled c H I p okay and

216
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: the last name is d as in David O R

217
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: s H. And the phone number as in correct? Awesome?

218
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: And what would you say It's the best time to

219
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: reach you? I mean, I'm pretty around anytime, you know,

220
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: before ten pm, but I can't imagine you worked that late.

221
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: Maybe barking perfect? And do you also have an email address?

222
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: That's another way of course. So that's the first in

223
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: your last name at um okay? Perfect? And you said

224
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: that the rideshare driver was convicted of d U. I correct, yes,

225
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: and I think they were also charged. I don't know

226
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: if they were convicted, but it was reckless endangerment as

227
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: well of me, right. And did that lead to him

228
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: getting into, you know, him getting into an auto accident

229
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: or was he just pulled over, pulled over and then

230
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: charged with the d U? I yeah, it was just

231
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: pulled over and then I was left in the cold

232
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: for an hour sitting in the back of a car

233
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: and then dropped off at my house at gosh, I'm

234
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: really sorry to hear that. Yeah, oh definitely, Okay, let

235
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: me just dump that stuff down. Okay, So I've noted

236
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: that you need a call back. That way we can

237
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: get you a little bit more information. Is there anything

238
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: else you want me to relay here in the message

239
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: to our legal team for you? I think I think

240
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: that's it. I you know, I would just like to

241
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: see if there's a case there, you know, I just

242
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: see that these companies are constantly messing up, and I

243
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: feel like there's a big hole here that there they

244
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: possibly can allow people to be drunk while driving drunk

245
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: people right, of course, the whole point is that the sober.

246
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: So I'll go ahead and send this over to my

247
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: legal team and I'll have someone give you a call

248
00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: back that you have worse, you have a great rest

249
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: of your EVI two a casual. Oh my god, I'd

250
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: literally just dropped the mic. So that was the call.

251
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: That was it? The anonymous receptionists. The anonymous receptionist. You know,

252
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure my information was bawled up and crumbled

253
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: and thrown away. Well, what the people should know is

254
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: that a week went by after that call and your

255
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: received no call back, not even an email. I mean

256
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: that's rude. I feel like, do they not have to

257
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: get back to everybody? I guess not. They probably get called. Well,

258
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: we wanted to know if you really do have a case, though,

259
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: so we made another call. We told him he was recorded.

260
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: We did tell him he was recorded after the fact,

261
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: but he said, okay, and he's a real lawyer, not

262
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: that the other ones aren't real lawyers, but he's serious

263
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: and he's not just try to get the money. Correct.

264
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: Here's that call, yo. Yeah, I just recalled that you

265
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: were getting ride home late at night and the guy

266
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: got pulled over from being drunk and you were left

267
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: there and to get it ride at him at all? Yeah,

268
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean I got taken home by the police after

269
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: being padded down and put in the back of their car, right,

270
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: blue light splashing. So anyway, yeah, you have no case.

271
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: But why sorry, this is Kelly, No injury, no damages.

272
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: What about his pride, his reputation with his neighbors when

273
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: he got dropped off in a police car? Well, I

274
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: mean that happens from time to time. I can't think

275
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: of the cause of action other than perhaps, uh, false

276
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: arrest or false imprisonment that you Uh, I mean, he

277
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: didn't hold you against your will on purpose. He held

278
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: you against your will because he gotta do you so

279
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: I could see him for false imprisonment because he left

280
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: me in his car for an hour. Well, I mean,

281
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: I guess you could have called another uper or something

282
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: you were you were free a guys because of the

283
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: cops wouldn't let you go with that. Well, No, I

284
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: just kind of sat there because I didn't know what

285
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: to do. I thought it would be weird if I

286
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: like popped out of the car the truth comes out

287
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: during Well, I was also so drunk that like, I

288
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: wasn't really keeping a watch on time. Uh. But I

289
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: mean to me, it's more about um. I would think

290
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: if they didn't, if lift did anything, it would just

291
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: be to shut me up. So that was they were

292
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: saying their their asses in a PR nightmare, a potential

293
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: PR nightmare, right, I mean that's one of many. I mean,

294
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: you've got sexual assaults, you've got robberies, you've got kidnappings,

295
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: You've got much more serious problems that they're worried about

296
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: than your d u I, which probably happens all the

297
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: time with our argument, but that I mean, that's the

298
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: point though, he said, which probably happens all the time,

299
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, So basically someone needs to die at the

300
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: hands of the driver for them to even care, which

301
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: is very dark. Yeah, that's that's probably an overstateming, is

302
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: that your legal opinion about injuries by accident? They're concerned about,

303
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, rates and burners and accidents and results in

304
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: death too, But to say that's all they're worried about

305
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: is probably an overstatement, right right. Well, I guess I'm

306
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: not getting rich off of this one. No. I mean,

307
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: if he'd have gotten into a wreck and you'd have

308
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: been injured, you would have a case better luck next time.

309
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: I gotta pick my drunk drivers better. Well, that was devastating. Well,

310
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: I'm not getting rich, I guess not. No case, I

311
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: thought for sure you had something. Well, you know, I

312
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: do think it is. I think it's more about the

313
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: pr side of it, and um, you know, trying to

314
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: get to the right person at this place. Should we

315
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: just send them this podcast? I mean, maybe we should

316
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: just tag them all. In all, I think the moral

317
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: of the story is sadly you're not getting rich, which

318
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: is so sad, but it is. It does make me

319
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: wonder do they need to up maybe the legal protocol

320
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: or the legal what do you call that? When the

321
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: screening is yeah, and and honestly, it's like, look, I

322
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: don't think that it needs to be a laborious process

323
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: for these people to go out and drive. I think

324
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: it's awesome that it's a flexible job and it's a

325
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: lot of people were making money that weren't making money.

326
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: But I want to feel safe. I don't think it's

327
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: too much to ask that, you know, maybe through the

328
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: A p I there is some way to use one

329
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: of these breathalyzer apps that connects with the driver's app,

330
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: even if it's certain hours of the night, maybe like

331
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: if you're a night driver. I don't know, there's got

332
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: to be something that has to be a so that

333
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: feels that does feel like punishing everyone for the mistake

334
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: of one kind of thing, do you know what I mean?

335
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess better safe than sorry, right. Also,

336
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: I can believe you sat there for an hour and

337
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: no one was like making you well. I learned this

338
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: back to just now. I know it's in a hindsight,

339
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: I probably should have just gotten all the car. And

340
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean I could have walked home in that time. Yeah,

341
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: I could have walked on in ten minutes. That seeking

342
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: of dangerous. I mean, and it was freezing outside. Maybe

343
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: you were just trying to stay warm. Yeah, And I mean, honestly,

344
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't even think I realized it was an hour

345
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: until it was all said and done. Until you're in

346
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: the back of a cop car. What do you guys think?

347
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: Do we have a case? Maybe we wish just to

348
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,159
