Main Discussions

1. Justin Bieber's DUI Controversy

The episode opens with an engaging discussion about Justin Bieber's recent DUI arrest. The hosts dissect the details surrounding the incident, debating the severity and circumstances.

• Brady Bogen raises concerns about Bieber being underage and the zero-tolerance policies in place:

  "He's underaged. He shouldn't have any alcohol in his system. So underage drinking and driving, they don't care how much the 0.00 is you got behind the wheel drunk or with drinks in your system that you should have never had in the first place." [02:15]

• Discussion Points:

  • The negligible amount of alcohol detected in Bieber's system.
  • The possibility that the incident may not have involved drag racing as initially thought.
  • The reliability of breathalyzer tests and potential triggers for false readings.

2. Can Great Food Cause DUI Interlock Fail?

A substantial portion of the episode is dedicated to a humorous yet critical debate on whether certain food and drink combinations can cause DUI interlock failures. The hosts explore the absurdity of claims that consuming items like diet coke and hamburgers can interfere with breathalyzer results.

• Key Highlights:

  • Brady challenges the notion that food can chemically alter breathalyzer outcomes:

    "That's insane. That's not." [03:15]

  • Co-hosts mock the idea that mundane food items can produce alcohol-like compounds in the system.

  • They discuss the improbability of such scenarios, emphasizing the effectiveness and scientific basis of breathalyzer technology.

• Notable Exchange:

  Unknown Host: "A Diet Coke and a burger. I feel plastered. Ronnie, take the keys." [04:21]
  Brady: "It's different. You can't have alcohol register." [05:24]

This segment underscores the hosts' skepticism towards misinformation and their commitment to debunking unfounded claims related to DUI regulations.

3. Steven Tyler Meets Lawrence Ori with Super Nuclear Palsy

The episode takes an emotional turn as the hosts recount the heartwarming yet somber story of Lawrence Ori, a man suffering from a rare condition humorously termed "progressive supernatural super nuclear palsy."

• Narrative Overview:

  • Lawrence Ori, battling severe brain deterioration, fulfilled his dream of meeting rock legend Steven Tyler through a Skype session arranged by the family with the assistance of Passages Hospice Dream Foundation.

• Brady's Reaction:

  • Displays a mix of mockery and empathy, turning the heartfelt story into a humorous exchange:

    "I want that. Make me a superhero. That's the worst thing ever." [12:50]

    "Steven Tyler finally. Time to move on." [13:53]

• Underlying Message:

  • Despite the light-hearted banter, the story highlights the profound impact of compassionate gestures toward individuals facing terminal illnesses.

Justin Bieber is still in trouble over his DUI last you know, arrest last week. But you're not be not as bad as it turns out to be. According to the latest reports, he had barely a measurable amount of alcohol in his system when he took his two breathalyzer tests and may not have been drag racing after all.

[Brady]

Well it still turns out that he's got alcohol in his system. Right?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Brady]

That's all that matters. 19 and it didn't.

[Unknown]

I saw the video too. It didn't look like it was much of a drag race.

Right.

He's got his entourage.

[Brady]

But there were like 15 cars going down this road. And even the lady who lives on that street was like, it's a 24 mile an hour road or 35. I don't remember said so they were going way too fast for this road, but they weren't going like 100 miles an hour.

[Unknown]

But he's.

[Brady]

He's underaged. He shouldn't have any alcohol in his system. So underage drinking and driving, they don't care how much the 0.00 is you got behind the wheel drunk or with drinks in your system that you should have never had in the first place. And it's also. Also because somebody.

[Unknown]

When it's that low of alcohol, there are certain things that can trigger it to say, oh, this is registering as alcohol in the blood.

[Brady]

Why wouldn't he say that?

[Unknown]

Right, because you remember when you hear those guys talk about when they have the lock on their. From their extreme DUI or whatever and they got to work to blow to.

[Brady]

Start their car, no cough.

[Unknown]

They said don't do a like Diet Coke and a hamburger. I heard that combo.

[Brady]

That's insane. That's not.

[Unknown]

That's.

[Brady]

Yeah, that's what crazy people say.

[Unknown]

You're definitely not much of a drinker, Brady.

[Brady]

Yeah, you.

[Unknown]

That's the same effect. I could just as drunk off of a burger and a Coke.

[Brady]

It's different. You can't have alcohol register. You know what the guy who said that was the reason he said that is cause he was drunk and he was trying to lie to the police. Hey, I want a scientific reading on that Diet Coke and a burger. I think the chemical compounds create vodka. Like that's what vodka's made of.

[Unknown]

That is the goofiest thing I think I've ever heard.

You know if you mix Mentos and milk.

They said. I mean, the person was telling me that was saying like write and you go craving.

[Brady]

Yeah, that person was lying to you. Was it also a homeless person who said that UFOs were going to come on his ass in 5, 4, 3. Hear you notice me. My last trip to France.

[Unknown]

This guy is loaded. He's like Henry Kissinger.

And ever since I heard that. What information that made me stop drinking altogether before.

And are you careful now when you go to dinner and have Amber too.

Many I've had two Cokes. I've had a Diet Coke. I'm in trouble.

Diet Coke and a burger. I feel plastered. Ronnie, take the keys. And then a blow starting my car from too many burgers. I hate barbecues.

[Brady]

In another thing, if you suck on.

[Unknown]

A sock long enough, it's equivalent of taking cocaines. He said he was probably.

There's probably a list of things that you could have that would trigger that breath. You can argue that Breathalyzer. That's why it comes down to the blood.

[Brady]

You're gonna kill him.

[Unknown]

He's already dead. There's like a pound of mucus that came out.

I can't laugh yet. That's the only thing I haven't.

The man said he was a professor of science.

[Brady]

I ate a shoelace once and I flew around the earth with Marilyn McCoo. The fifth dimension.

[Unknown]

Wow.

[Brady]

Shoelaces are ecstasy if mixed properly with a Sprite zero. You realize how silly that is though?

[Unknown]

It is? It sounds silly.

[Brady]

Eric. You and I are gonna realize Diet Coke. And I drink so much Diet Coke.

[Unknown]

So the apology that might come my way is no.

[Brady]

Are you gonna look that up?

[Unknown]

I'm not gonna look it up.

[Brady]

You won't even sit back and say.

[Unknown]

That Crazy told me that was a person that had the starter on there. And they were told, oh my God.

[Brady]

Was it an owl?

[Unknown]

And he goes like, I have to be careful because they. They warned me that they're saying even after, like if you. If I went to McDonald's and I.

[Brady]

Went to go store Pounder and a Diet Coke is all right.

[Dick Toledo]

Toledo.

[Brady]

Were you warned with your car?

[Unknown]

The guy that installed.

Who was that?

Trying to warn him.

That could have been. I didn't have that with me.

But I've heard those guys mess with people all the time.

Yeah, okay. They tell you. They tell you.

Chewing gum will do.

[Brady]

So this is Hanson. That's what you're talking about, is it? Hanson.

[Unknown]

Mouthwash for sure.

You got stuff with alcohol.

But even if you didn't know, it's.

[Brady]

Still funny because the chemical mix up.

[Unknown]

That's what he was trying to say. So it must have been the installer screwing with him.

[Brady]

You have to rear your car first.

[Unknown]

Then go to McDonald's. Don't ever stop your car.

Exactly.

[Brady]

That's why there's.

[Unknown]

Keep it running and keep it running.

[Brady]

That's why McDonald's started drive throughs is because of the breathalyzer thing killing our business out here. Maybe if they never turn their cars off.

[Unknown]

I want to see that happen.

[Brady]

I Would love to see that happen.

[Unknown]

See, Brady, you kind of stop believing these.

[Brady]

Yeah. And here's the thing, too. You got to stop looking at us like you're angry about something you should defend. You should say, maybe.

[Unknown]

Now I said at the beginning I have heard. But how do I know? Because I've never.

[Brady]

But you used it as your references. That is your being.

[Unknown]

I've heard people say that. Like something ridiculous combinations like a Diet Coke and a hamburger. Could your trigger not start the car?

[Brady]

But you defended.

[Unknown]

Have you been spreading this here?

[Brady]

Yes, that's true.

[Unknown]

The I've heard ever since. Probably I've heard of someone talked about it. I don't run across too many.

[Brady]

In fact, instead of saying the person beforehand you defended. You defended the position.

[Unknown]

Well, no, because the person. The reason why I was getting pissy is the person I heard it from made. No. Wasn't trying to jack me around. He had heard it. I'm like, interesting. I'd never bothered to check it with him.

[Brady]

But then you passed it on.

[Unknown]

And then I heard it again.

[Brady]

Right.

[Unknown]

With someone saying, there's certain foods.

[Brady]

Are they crazy?

[Unknown]

He's right. Hot wings.

[Brady]

Hot wings. Hot wings. Yeah.

[Unknown]

There's combinations. I'm.

[Brady]

I'm telling you, I don't question if.

[Unknown]

You cook it in alcohol, maybe. But then you would have. No, it burns away.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

It's impossible.

[Brady]

Yeah. I don't think that's diet.

[Unknown]

And the person that said hot wings weren't probably taking into account the couple of beers that he had before the hot. Right.

We need one of those people from the interlock to come down here.

[Brady]

So you just have to be more suspicious of your information and not defend it. Because we went crazy laughing.

[Unknown]

Yeah, you did.

[Brady]

And you guys get mad at us. You should have been with us on that. Yeah.

[Unknown]

You're not.

[Brady]

You should have been laughing just as much as we were at how insane what you had just said was John holmberg's morning sickness.

[Brady]

3342 Hberg's morning sickness. Not defending it.

[Unknown]

No, but I, I, I'm not defending it.

Not now, not after Toledo ran in here with the real fact.

Yeah, well, Toledo said they, they warned you, right? This is where you get caught anything. This is where it looks like you're didn't have it.

[Brady]

This is where it looks like you're defending it. You should just say, yeah, because I.

[Unknown]

Didn'T think, I mean, that sounds crazy to me when I hear it, but it is crazy. But I took it like, oh, that's fine because it's never going to happen.

[Brady]

So you're telling me that if I have a diet coke and two cheeseburgers and I have like three of them, which I've done, you better pull over that I am legally probably drunk.

[Unknown]

No. So that's not what I was.

[Brady]

So there's enough alcohol in that though, that my car wouldn't.

[Unknown]

And I'm not saying it's alcohol. What they're saying is that that compound, that combination can prevent the car from starting.

And you obviously believe this.

Well, if that were, I wouldn't doubt it. But I don't know. I don't know because I've never seen it.

[Brady]

I'm no lawyer, but if that were true, I would imagine that the court system would have had to eliminate the blow stars.

[Unknown]

Oh, man.

[Brady]

So many false readings.

[Unknown]

I believe the courts have a tougher time holding up the breathalyzer as the only thing of saying you're blowing your, you know, point four pennies. That's why they go back to the blood test. The blood test is the one that is the most accurate.

[Brady]

But the pennies in the mouth, the, the breathalyzer basically gives them right to say we're going to go down, take your blood.

[Unknown]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

So it's basically, it's not admissible because it can be tinkered with, but they get all their ducks in a row. But. But you're saying a breathalyzer or a blow start in your car. Because a blow start in your car means you've already failed the blood.

[Unknown]

And. And let me just say that when I was saying again that a combination like the person that was saying was Diet Coke and hamburger there could be what he meant to say. Maybe he's saying it's certain things that can trigger the blow start. Not to let you able. You're not able to.

[Brady]

Your Honor, I would like to hold this witness as a hostile witness, please. Thank you. Just say it's crazy.

[Unknown]

Say I screwed up.

[Brady]

Don't even say you screwed up. Just say that guy is nuts. That told me that. Well, what?

[Unknown]

I don't say that. Fine, that. That can be crazy, but I do not. I believe there's things on that blow start thing that could prevent it from starting the car.

[Brady]

Yeah. Okay. I'll give you this. If you had a Diet Coke and burger in your mouth when you did it, you blew it into the hole, right?

[Unknown]

Maybe you got a shot there.

[Brady]

I clogged it up. No, my car won't start. What did I say? What was I doing? I must be drunk. This thing works.

[Unknown]

If the McDonald's employee spiked your diet, maybe that rum.

[Brady]

Yeah, that's a possibility, I'll give you that. All right. Here are ways Brady's nutty scenario could be right.

[Unknown]

Or you can't tell the difference. Or he was drinking and he spit on your burger. And he had been drinking.

[Brady]

Even still, that's.

[Unknown]

There's alcohol.

[Brady]

That's not enough to register that machine.

[Unknown]

Steven Tyler recently did. Something's pretty cool. This guy in the 60s named Lawrence Ori suffered from a rare condition called progressive supernatural super nuclear Palsy.

[Brady]

I want that. Make me a superhero. That's the worst thing ever.

[Unknown]

Palsy, which is brain deterioration.

[Brady]

Oh, I don't want that.

[Unknown]

Lawrence barely speak or move when he was on his deathbed. But he had a dream of meeting Steven Tyler never had a chance until his last day. Lawrence family, with the help of Passages Hospice Dream foundation, got a hold of Steven and they met through Skype on a laptop. After it was set up, Steven said, lawrence, this is Stephen. I'm coming to la. I'm coming to you from la and I'm glad to meet you. You hold on, Lawrence. I love you, man. It's nice to meet you. Lawrence couldn't respond, but they said he did tear up.

[Brady]

Super nuclear. Oh, geez. Did Steven get to see him first?

[Unknown]

Well, just through Skype oh, that doesn't count.

[Brady]

That's no good.

[Unknown]

Got to meet Steven Tyler before.

[Brady]

Jeez.

[Unknown]

Thanks for bringing us down close with.

[Dick Toledo]

A better that's nothing.

[Unknown]

So upbeat about that.

Steven Tyler. Finally. Time to move on.

[Brady]

No, I've had super nuclear palsy my whole life and I get a Skype message.

[Unknown]

Should have ended with the Jesus, give.

[Brady]

Me something with Oz. Don't kill me with this one. There's. How is that uplifting at all?

[Unknown]

So it's super nuclear.

Supra.

Whatever. Got yourself a visit on Skype. Then you're dead. Well, that's an uplifting moment.

[Brady]

Hit a homer for me, babe. Tell you what I'll do. I'll show you a picture of an old homer and you're gonna die.

[Unknown]

Gosh, thanks, babe. I really. I really want to meet Babe before I die.

[Brady]

Babe can't make it today. Babe's got horse. An American Idol thing I gotta do. So here's a photo. Babe Put that in your will. This is awful. Nothing uplifting. I'm trying to find the silver lining. Dead kid doesn't actually get to meet Steven Tyler.

[Unknown]

Wasn't a kid who's in his 60s.

[Brady]

Dead 60 year old who's had super nuclear palsy his whole life.

[Unknown]

Got to meet Steven Tyler. Tears up joy, dies later on.

[Brady]

I don't want super nuclear or anything. That sounds dreadful.

[Unknown]

That'll do, pig.

[Brady]

Feels like your brain's gonna blow up or some. Super nuclear. No, I'm a doctor. I've never used this phrase before. But what you have is palsy. Oh, no. And it's super nuclear. What's that mean? Means at any minute you could explode and kill 50,000 Japanese. Oh, no. Don't get him too excited. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

[Unknown]

They're not trying to hide the title of that.

[Brady]

No, you're gonna die from that. Ain't there a cure? Unfortunately, your super nuclear disease has no cure.

[Unknown]

What do you think?

[Brady]

Just be grateful it isn't super duper nuclear.

[Unknown]

They're super duper.

[Brady]

Oh, my God. Watch that. It's two times as deadly as nuclear.

[Unknown]

There's certain training mechanisms. You gotta make sure Teddy doesn't get around for the super nuclear. Like don't let him watch any facts of life.

[Brady]

Yeah, that. The low grade palsy with that girl.

[Unknown]

Shoot me straight, doc. Is my boy gonna make it?

[Brady]

No, he's got super duper super califragilistic nuclear palsy. Jeez.

[Unknown]

Sounds like a fun name.

[Brady]

Really, though, it's not. It's a roller coaster to hell. Oh, I think I saw that tour.

[Unknown]

Okay, you're a bad doctor. I think I want a second opinion.

[Brady]

He's got super scrum. Delicious nuclear palsy.

[Unknown]

Makes me want to watch Mary Poppins.

[Brady]

I know. Is Dick Van Dyke your doctor? Laura, your kid's gonna die from super nuclear dupleia. You're making up words now, aren't you? There's a billion trillion gillion jajillion zillion pillion fillion billion chance he won't live. That's math. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect.
