- 0:35Speaker 1: it behind the scenes of the Grind, it's really just
- 0:38Speaker 1: a time to like sit still and be like, how
- 0:40Speaker 1: am I really feeling today, this week, this month? What's
- 0:44Speaker 1: really going on with me? I just came back from
- 0:49Speaker 1: Norfolk State University Norfolk.
- 0:51Speaker 2: They say that I say it wrong. Hampton.
- 0:54Speaker 1: It was my first time at Hampton University as well,
- 0:56Speaker 1: which is a school that Envy graduated from. So he
- 0:59Speaker 1: took me over to here and there like maybe forty
- 1:01Speaker 1: five minutes apart if even that, and I was home
- 1:05Speaker 1: in Delaware. You guys heard the conversation in the episode
- 1:08Speaker 1: prior to this one or watch and or if you
- 1:12Speaker 1: have not, please go and find it with my church
- 1:15Speaker 1: sees the greatness. I was in conversation with Tim Ross,
- 1:18Speaker 1: who is an amazing spiritual leader, podcaster, thought provoker, and
- 1:23Speaker 1: Noah Mills former Miss Delaware twenty twenty three, but also
- 1:27Speaker 1: a huge not even just would I would say like advocate,
- 1:30Speaker 1: but not even just an advocate, but a huge action
- 1:34Speaker 1: based professional in the mental health space because she does
- 1:37Speaker 1: so much on a daily working with in the corporate
- 1:40Speaker 1: arena to make sure that businesses and corporates and brands
- 1:43Speaker 1: have adequate mental health support because of you know, just
- 1:47Speaker 1: her life passion somethings she's been through in her life
- 1:50Speaker 1: as well.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Conversation was great. So I've been all over the world
- 1:54Speaker 2: and back.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I think last night was the first night I actually
- 1:56Speaker 1: got some real sleep, and boy does going to sleep
- 1:59Speaker 1: early change your whole perspective on the world, life everything.
- 2:06Speaker 1: I woke up this morning still was like a little
- 2:08Speaker 1: bit like ugh, I don't want to get up. But
- 2:10Speaker 1: once I got up and got going and got the
- 2:12Speaker 1: day started, I felt the difference in my body between
- 2:14Speaker 1: today and Monday morning. I think I'm just at that
- 2:18Speaker 1: age where when I don't get a lot of sleep.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I feel it like in the way I think, the
- 2:22Speaker 1: way I'm able to communicate, the way I think through
- 2:24Speaker 1: my attention span, which is already horrible my attention span,
- 2:27Speaker 1: but it's just better. So in noticing that, you know,
- 2:31Speaker 1: I really want to try and prioritize more sleep. Don't
- 2:34Speaker 1: know if it'll be possible. I was just saying that
- 2:36Speaker 1: today to Charlot Mane. Actually, like it's no way in
- 2:39Speaker 1: this industry for what I do you get good sleep. Like,
- 2:42Speaker 1: it's just not possible. There's not enough hours in the day.
- 2:45Speaker 1: So that's what's been kind of, you know, back and forth,
- 2:48Speaker 1: ping pong in my mind. It's like, Yo, I feel
- 2:50Speaker 1: so amazing having went to sleep so early last night,
- 2:55Speaker 1: But can I do that every day? Do have enough
- 2:57Speaker 1: time in life to do that every day? If y'all
- 3:00Speaker 1: I have good sleep regimens and you can recommend anything
- 3:02Speaker 1: of like how you're balancing a very demanding work life
- 3:05Speaker 1: and all the things. I know, parents y'all probably have
- 3:08Speaker 1: the best advice here. I'm not a parent yet, but
- 3:10Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I'll be feeling like I'm I'm
- 3:13Speaker 1: juggling a lot.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Send the tips on over.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I am more than open for them because I want
- 3:20Speaker 1: to feel like this every single day. And mind y'all,
- 3:22Speaker 1: today wasn't even like a fully I could have slept
- 3:27Speaker 1: more like today was like today was great, but I
- 3:30Speaker 1: still felt like today, like all right, girl, you could
- 3:32Speaker 1: have did a couple more hours or whatever. But anyway,
- 3:34Speaker 1: so we're here, We're well rested, I'm feeling good.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Travel was great, It's always fired.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Every October is like that month where I'm at different schools,
- 3:43Speaker 1: have so many different things going on because the HBCU
- 3:46Speaker 1: Alumni Tour that I do every year. This is my
- 3:48Speaker 1: second year doing it. Just God is good. I get
- 3:51Speaker 1: to go to all these schools and see different people
- 3:53Speaker 1: and experience different things.

- 3:59Speaker 2: Actually the high Halloween Eve will be.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Which is October thirtieth, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, which
- 4:05Speaker 1: is the Eagle Stadium. Delaware State University will be playing
- 4:08Speaker 1: Norfolk State University, and I'm bun be there, Okay, bringing
- 4:12Speaker 1: you guys all behind the scenes, you know, grabbing content
- 4:16Speaker 1: from everywhere I can.
- 4:17Speaker 2: So don't worry. I got you off.
- 4:18Speaker 1: You can't make it right here. The latest to Lorna
- 4:21Speaker 1: Rosa will be taking you inside.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Get in the game. I always wanted to say that.
- 4:27Speaker 2: But anyway, speaking of sports.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Segue, but an important segue speaking of sports. Okay, So,
- 4:33Speaker 1: for those of you guys who do not know, Paul
- 4:35Speaker 1: Pierce was recently taken into custody by police for suspicion
- 4:40Speaker 1: of driving under the influence.
- 4:42Speaker 2: That was fourteen days ago.
- 4:43Speaker 1: They say that when they arrested him that there was
- 4:46Speaker 1: signs that he was impaired, and this was following him
- 4:50Speaker 1: falling asleep behind the wheel and his range Rover. He
- 4:53Speaker 1: was sitting in traffic on a highway in LA and
- 4:55Speaker 1: he fell asleep behind the wheel of the car. Now
- 4:58Speaker 1: cops say that he had been on the highway this
- 5:01Speaker 1: was during the time of like a crash investigation, so.
- 5:05Speaker 2: He'd been sitting still for some time.
- 5:06Speaker 1: And I don't know if you guys have ever driven
- 5:08Speaker 1: in LA, but you already are city, especially if you're
- 5:12Speaker 1: driving between a certain time, You're already sitting.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Still for long, long periods of.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Time, especially if you're driving through certain parts of LA. So,
- 5:20Speaker 1: like the Valley is always horrible right near downtown. Honestly,
- 5:23Speaker 1: it's bad all over, but certain parts is it gets
- 5:26Speaker 1: worse than others in certain days, in certain times. Now
- 5:29Speaker 1: he was driving at eleven thirty five pm. And again
- 5:31Speaker 1: LA is one of them places where randomly at times
- 5:34Speaker 1: too there can just be traffic. I used to be like,
- 5:35Speaker 1: where's everybody going right now? Like y'all don't work, Like
- 5:40Speaker 1: people in LA don't work. In my opinion, everybody's an
- 5:42Speaker 1: influence to everybody. It's just creative and floating and going
- 5:47Speaker 1: and run in and figuring out life. But everybody got
- 5:50Speaker 1: somewhere to drive and be when you need to get somewhere.
- 5:53Speaker 1: So it's eleven thirty five pm. They reopened the highway
- 5:56Speaker 1: and they discovered Paul Pierce's car. Now again they say
- 5:59Speaker 1: that they know the signs of alcohol impairment when they
- 6:03Speaker 1: encountered him, or you know, once they down they're talking
- 6:05Speaker 1: to him, they're at the car and all the things.
- 6:08Speaker 1: So they conducted a duy investigation. Then he was arrested
- 6:10Speaker 1: on the suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol,
- 6:13Speaker 1: a violation of California vehicle cold of course, and he
- 6:17Speaker 1: was taken into a central Central Los Angeles area.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Office.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Now he did comment on this situation. They have blood
- 6:30Speaker 1: test results. So I'm going to tell you guys first
- 6:35Speaker 1: what he commented before I give you what his blood
- 6:39Speaker 1: test results from the dy investigation were. So when he
- 6:42Speaker 1: commented on this situation, Paul Piers, he posted a photo
- 6:45Speaker 1: to his Instagram and he said, imagine being stuck in
- 6:48Speaker 1: stand still traffic for forty five minutes and falling asleep
- 6:51Speaker 1: with the hand covering his face emoji. I took this
- 6:55Speaker 1: picture that night because I'd never been a stand still
- 6:57Speaker 1: traffic for this long. I'm old, and I fell asleep
- 7:01Speaker 1: with the shrugging hands emoji.
- 7:03Speaker 2: I'm good, y'all. Thanks for the love and the photo
- 7:05Speaker 2: that he posted. Very much.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Standstill traffic very much gives. You're sitting in LA traffic.
- 7:11Speaker 1: But it makes even more sense if police are saying
- 7:13Speaker 1: that they had shut down the highway for a car
- 7:15Speaker 1: crash investigation, right, because that's even more traffic. You're sitting
- 7:19Speaker 1: still for even longer all of the things. So he
- 7:22Speaker 1: denied it. Now, this was back on April ninth, right,
- 7:27Speaker 1: So this week police have updated documents, and according to
- 7:32Speaker 1: those documents and court records, prosecutors are charging Paul Pierce
- 7:38Speaker 1: with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol
- 7:41Speaker 1: and one count of driving with a point zero eight
- 7:44Speaker 1: blood alcohol content. And now this is fourteen days, right,
- 7:48Speaker 1: so about two weeks after he was pulled over, not
- 7:52Speaker 1: pulled over but because he was already sitting still, but
- 7:54Speaker 1: after he had encountered police and they had taken him
- 7:57Speaker 1: in for a suspicion of the DUI Now, I looked
- 8:01Speaker 1: it up in LA the blood alcohol content like that
- 8:06Speaker 1: that number that you know, if you're twenty one and
- 8:08Speaker 1: older you're not supposed to hit. Is that point zero eight?
- 8:12Speaker 1: So I started thinking, like, okay, and I've reached out
- 8:15Speaker 1: to Paul Pierces everybody I could find. I reached out
- 8:17Speaker 1: to his agents, and I believe it was a manager.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I'll verify that in a second, but I believe it
- 8:24Speaker 1: was a manager. No one has responded yet. I want
- 8:26Speaker 1: to try and find an attorney because when I look
- 8:30Speaker 1: this up, I'm like, Okay, if that's the number, what's
- 8:35Speaker 1: the scale of you hit. I mean, once you hit
- 8:38Speaker 1: that number, it becomes illegal. But is there Because there
- 8:43Speaker 1: was a note under the law that I read that
- 8:46Speaker 1: said that it kind of depends on your impairment, I'm
- 8:49Speaker 1: gonna actually bring it up. So this is from the
- 8:51Speaker 1: California DMV. When I was researching for the story, I
- 8:54Speaker 1: just wanted to know, like what all legal limits were.
- 8:56Speaker 1: I didn't know if it veris stayed to say, like
- 8:59Speaker 1: the blood alcohol concentration that you will here keep people
- 9:02Speaker 1: mentioning when they talk about the story, is that number
- 9:04Speaker 1: when you consume alcohol and traces of it into your bloodstream.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Your blood alcohol content measures how much alcohol is present
- 9:10Speaker 1: in your bloodstream. It is illegal for you to drive
- 9:13Speaker 1: if you've had if you have a blood alcohol level
- 9:15Speaker 1: of point zero eight or higher if you are over
- 9:18Speaker 1: twenty one years old.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Okay.
- 9:21Speaker 1: It also says if you drive with an illegal blood
- 9:23Speaker 1: alcohol content, and law enforcement officer can charge you with DY.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Even if your BAC your blood alcohol content is below
- 9:29Speaker 1: legal limits, that does not mean it is safe for
- 9:31Speaker 1: you to drive. Almost everyone feels negative effects of alcohol,
- 9:34Speaker 1: even at levels lower than illegal limit. Depending on how
- 9:36Speaker 1: badly you are impaired, you may be arrested or convicted
- 9:39Speaker 1: for DUY even without a blood alcohol content measurement. And
- 9:43Speaker 1: there's a table of how many drinks you've consumed, your gender,
- 9:47Speaker 1: your body weight, the reason why, Like when I was
- 9:50Speaker 1: looking at this, I was like, okay, so I'm trying
- 9:54Speaker 1: to think what is his argument here? Like, if I'm
- 9:57Speaker 1: Paul Pierce, what is your argument here? How do you
- 10:01Speaker 1: argue because your blood says point oh eight, it's illegal
- 10:04Speaker 1: at that point?
- 10:05Speaker 2: Right? But do you try and argue anything.
- 10:09Speaker 1: To try and like Lessen, I guess like legally, how
- 10:13Speaker 1: this hits you in court or even if not, how
- 10:16Speaker 1: it hits you in court, because I feel like, even
- 10:18Speaker 1: with a justin Timberlake, it doesn't matter how many drinks
- 10:21Speaker 1: you have and where are people where they test you.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Whatever, the law is the law, right.
- 10:25Speaker 1: But I think the fact that Paul Pierce came out
- 10:28Speaker 1: and posted that statement, volunteering the statement and said, hey,
- 10:31Speaker 1: I was just sleep, Like, thank y'all for checking in.
- 10:34Speaker 2: I was just sleep. I'm old, like, are they gonna
- 10:37Speaker 2: try and argue this? And what do they say if so?
- 10:47Speaker 1: So I started reading more and I'm like, okay, you
- 10:49Speaker 1: have to admit that there were drinks involved because it
- 10:52Speaker 1: was in your bloodstream.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Right.
- 10:53Speaker 1: So with that statement, I'm thinking, Okay, they lean in
- 10:55Speaker 1: and they say, Okay, here's what he drank, here's evidence
- 10:59Speaker 1: of it from where he was, and here's why we're
- 11:02Speaker 1: saying this shouldn't have been classified as anything under the
- 11:06Speaker 1: influence and making him incapable of driving because of his
- 11:11Speaker 1: body masks or body makeup and gender and all the things, like,
- 11:15Speaker 1: I don't know, none of that makes sense to me.
- 11:17Speaker 1: But it also doesn't make sense that you would make
- 11:19Speaker 1: that statement knowing that you had a couple drinks. And
- 11:21Speaker 1: maybe he didn't because another thing too, I didn't have
- 11:23Speaker 1: to read this to understand it.
- 11:25Speaker 2: I just you know, I'm a drinker. I've been drunk before.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Alcohol hits everybody differently, so I think sometimes too, depending
- 11:33Speaker 1: on how frequent you drink or lack thereof, Not only
- 11:37Speaker 1: does it hit people differently, but I think people always
- 11:40Speaker 1: think they're less than what they are. So maybe he
- 11:45Speaker 1: is at point eight, but he feels able to dry
- 11:48Speaker 1: and because of all those things, the factors of you know,
- 11:52Speaker 1: his gender, his height, his weight, and all these things.
- 11:55Speaker 1: He's thinking because he doesn't actively feel.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Impaired, he's cool.
- 12:01Speaker 1: But I don't know any core in the land that
- 12:03Speaker 1: will be like, oh you know what, Yeah, people die
- 12:07Speaker 1: behind drunk driving, you know what I'm saying. So I
- 12:09Speaker 1: really just don't understand why he volunteered that statement. I
- 12:13Speaker 1: know the same thing just recently happened to Adrian Peterson,
- 12:16Speaker 1: the football star. He hasn't said anything. I think that
- 12:19Speaker 1: that's the best bet is to not say anything. Adrian
- 12:22Speaker 1: Peterson was found behind the will of his car sleep
- 12:25Speaker 1: in a gas station and when police interacted with him,
- 12:28Speaker 1: there was signs of impairment as well, they alleged to
- 12:31Speaker 1: I just don't understand why Paul Pierce made the statement
- 12:34Speaker 1: the way that people don't pay about drunk driving.
- 12:36Speaker 2: I get it. I lost a front of drunk driving
- 12:38Speaker 2: my first year out of college.
- 12:40Speaker 1: It's a horrible thing to have to experience, so I
- 12:44Speaker 1: understand it, and I think maybe this was him trying
- 12:47Speaker 1: to like say face publicly. But I don't care about
- 12:50Speaker 1: any of these factors that you read on these DMV
- 12:52Speaker 1: websites or whatever. And I know all these things are
- 12:54Speaker 1: taken into account as you're when you're an officer and
- 12:57Speaker 1: you're talking to someone in your because I know too,
- 12:59Speaker 1: like they asked you or you taking any medicines actively,
- 13:01Speaker 1: and like they're trying to figure out what level of
- 13:04Speaker 1: impairment and just where you are and just see signs
- 13:06Speaker 1: of anything so they know what to do from there
- 13:08Speaker 1: on out. I don't think I would have volunteered that
- 13:10Speaker 1: at all. I don't think it makes any better public
- 13:12Speaker 1: appearance wise, And if it's to say face like brand
- 13:14Speaker 1: wise or whatever the reasoning.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Is, it doesn't soften it.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Like it is what it is at this point, and
- 13:20Speaker 1: you just deal with the consequences of it and just
- 13:23Speaker 1: be happy that he fell asleep allegedly sitting behind the
- 13:28Speaker 1: will of his car, not even allegedly because he said
- 13:30Speaker 1: he was tired. He said he fell asleep, but he
- 13:32Speaker 1: says it was because of traffic behind the wheel of
- 13:34Speaker 1: his car in traffic sitting on a highway. Can you
- 13:38Speaker 1: imagine how dangerous that is for the oncoming cars but
- 13:41Speaker 1: also for himself. Like, you're lucky to be alive at
- 13:44Speaker 1: this point. Now, I did want to talk a bit
- 13:46Speaker 1: about just so we have Sophie here. Sophie works on
- 13:49Speaker 1: the team here with the podcast, and when we were
- 13:50Speaker 1: talking about this story, as I was getting prepared for it,
- 13:54Speaker 1: she was telling me that she works at a spot nearby.
- 13:57Speaker 1: They train them on just different ways to cite and
- 14:00Speaker 1: pyramid when it comes to drinking and things like, because
- 14:03Speaker 1: you know, you out at the bars, they got to
- 14:04Speaker 1: cut you off at a certain point.
- 14:05Speaker 2: So she was sharing some different, very interesting things.
- 14:08Speaker 1: To me, just about how alcohol hits people in different ways,
- 14:11Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, maybe again, because I'm just trying
- 14:13Speaker 1: to think, why, if I'm Paul Pierce, why would.
- 14:16Speaker 2: I post that statement? No one, They're gonna test me.
- 14:19Speaker 3: If you're training to do stuff behind the bar, you
- 14:22Speaker 3: have to do this very lengthy. It can even be
- 14:25Speaker 3: like six hours of tips training where you look at
- 14:29Speaker 3: people's ideas to see whether they're fake or they're real.
- 14:32Speaker 3: But on top of that, you also get these videos
- 14:34Speaker 3: that you have to respond to answers with and you
- 14:38Speaker 3: have to check their back, which is their alcohol content levels. Right,
- 14:42Speaker 3: but also, as mildly sexist as it sounds, women get
- 14:50Speaker 3: drunker faster.
- 14:52Speaker 2: That is just the fact I can attest. I can
- 14:54Speaker 2: attest it. I don't. I don't. I don't.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I don't get drunker faster and then try and drive.
- 15:00Speaker 1: I've been warned about that so and so so many times.
- 15:03Speaker 1: But listen, I'd be trying to outdrink, like even like
- 15:06Speaker 1: even out with Bay or when you with your male friends,
- 15:10Speaker 1: like you, you know, you'd be trying to hang until
- 15:12Speaker 1: you're literally hanging over the toilet.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like I don't think it's sexist.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, you know, I was talking to
- 15:21Speaker 3: somebody too when I was taking the test, because you know,
- 15:23Speaker 3: we all have to take it at the same time.
- 15:24Speaker 3: It's like a yearly thing and it's like your enzyme
- 15:27Speaker 3: breakdown like in your body and stuff like that. But
- 15:30Speaker 3: it's also your genetics. If you come from a family,
- 15:34Speaker 3: people are always like, oh, like Irish people, like they
- 15:36Speaker 3: can drink. They got the stomach. Believe it or not,
- 15:39Speaker 3: it's your you know, genetic makeups. Some people can have like,
- 15:44Speaker 3: let's say, eight drinks and still feel okay. And with
- 15:48Speaker 3: alcohol though, like comes a confidence level. People feel more
- 15:52Speaker 3: free and lose and confident. So some people think in
- 15:56Speaker 3: their brain because once you're drink, that hits your brain
- 15:59Speaker 3: and fect you not only like physically, but mentally. Yeah,
- 16:03Speaker 3: so they are like, oh, I could drive, I could drive.
- 16:06Speaker 3: It's like, but no, you can't. But then it's also
- 16:09Speaker 3: like when you are fatigued and when you're stressed, you
- 16:13Speaker 3: also come back with higher alcohol levels because it hits
- 16:17Speaker 3: you harder.
- 16:18Speaker 1: That's crazy because you when you are So when I'm
- 16:21Speaker 1: fatigued and I'm drinking, Like I was just telling you guys,
- 16:24Speaker 1: I was at homecoming and or a bunch of different
- 16:26Speaker 1: homecomings this past weekend for hostings, and oh yeah, like
- 16:31Speaker 1: I was so tired because we were literally coming right
- 16:34Speaker 1: from the show. It takes me longer in my opinion,
- 16:39Speaker 1: to fill the alcohol when I'm tired, but when it hits,
- 16:42Speaker 1: it's like I'm tired, like I need to go lay down,
- 16:44Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm lit, Like I gotta like you know
- 16:47Speaker 1: what I mean, and I know that, and I'm like
- 16:49Speaker 1: a very well well, I'm very well aware of that
- 16:52Speaker 1: about myself. And that's too And again, this is all ledge.
- 16:55Speaker 2: We don't know.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Paul Pearce is saying he wasn't under the influence. Police
- 17:01Speaker 1: are saying that they've tested and other things, and they don't.
- 17:04Speaker 1: They're not saying the same thing that he is. But
- 17:07Speaker 1: one of the things that I've had to learn in
- 17:08Speaker 1: my adult life is like I got to know about myself, like, girl.
- 17:12Speaker 2: You should uber because the confidence.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Level be there and you be like, nah, I got it,
- 17:17Speaker 1: I got it, Like and now was like, I mean,
- 17:19Speaker 1: you got life to lose, but also like you don't
- 17:21Speaker 1: want put nobody else's life in danger. My biggest question
- 17:23Speaker 1: for celebrities and it's again, this is not even just
- 17:25Speaker 1: directedtor Paul Pierce, because I know justin Timberlake had a
- 17:28Speaker 1: situation like this. There's been so many celeb situations like this.
- 17:31Speaker 1: I always be like, why are y'all driving anyway? I
- 17:35Speaker 1: would love to just be able to have a car
- 17:38Speaker 1: service on payroll. Nothing, especially in LA, nothing in me
- 17:44Speaker 1: wants to be the person that has to driving is
- 17:48Speaker 1: so much responsibility. I would so much rather be in
- 17:51Speaker 1: the back of my car, scrolling on my phone on FaceTime, free,
- 17:55Speaker 1: young Wilder, Free, Like I literally don't understand that. And
- 17:59Speaker 1: then a lot of times people say, well, it's because
- 18:01Speaker 1: they want to feel regular, like they want to drive themselves,
- 18:04Speaker 1: they want to I get all that, but I promise you,
- 18:07Speaker 1: especially when I'm going out, like when I'm oh my god,
- 18:10Speaker 1: I hate.
- 18:11Speaker 2: The prices of ubers and all that.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Sometimes, but I swear, like, especially more recently, I'd be like,
- 18:15Speaker 1: all right, you want to be able to go there
- 18:18Speaker 1: and have a good time, or you want to go
- 18:19Speaker 1: there and think about everything you can't do and how
- 18:21Speaker 1: much you can't do it because you can't afford none
- 18:24Speaker 1: of this, like at all.
- 18:27Speaker 2: I don't understand it.
- 18:29Speaker 1: You can afford to do it as well, Like I
- 18:31Speaker 1: don't understand that with celebrities. I've never understood why they
- 18:35Speaker 1: just want to drive themselves in general, but especially not
- 18:38Speaker 1: why you're drinking or out socially or whatever and then
- 18:42Speaker 1: choose to drive, you know. And in Paul Pierce's situation,
- 18:46Speaker 1: it's alleged and we don't know where he was coming from,
- 18:48Speaker 1: and we don't, you know, there's so many details we
- 18:50Speaker 1: do not know. But in his alleged situation, in the
- 18:54Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson situation, allegedly, I don't understand why, like why,
- 18:58Speaker 1: like I, why not just get somebody to drive you,
- 19:02Speaker 1: even if it's your fly ass car? Why not pay somebody?
- 19:05Speaker 1: Like most of the time too, I feel like you
- 19:07Speaker 1: have assistance. And these are not people that might not
- 19:10Speaker 1: sit up under you all damned day long, but you
- 19:13Speaker 1: need somebody you could figure it out. I just don't
- 19:16Speaker 1: get it. There's a lot about this I don't get.
- 19:19Speaker 1: I'm trying to put some you know, answers. I think
- 19:21Speaker 1: more answers will come out as time goes by. But again,
- 19:25Speaker 1: you know, I think all in all, the biggest thing
- 19:26Speaker 1: here is we're just all lucky.
- 19:28Speaker 2: No one was hurt, Like I mean the names involved.
- 19:31Speaker 1: You know, if this is if all of the if
- 19:34Speaker 1: the allegations and accusations are true, they are lucky they
- 19:37Speaker 1: didn't hurt themselves and that no one else was hurt
- 19:39Speaker 1: as well. That's the biggest takeaway from here. And also
- 19:43Speaker 1: why not just call it uber? This is the latest
