Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. All right, let's see here.

The video, the arrest video, the DUI video. From Justin Timberlake's DUI is out for the world to consume. What do you say we break it down? That sounds like a fun time, right? Let's do that. Hell, let's just get all this out of the way now. Let's get these commercials out of the way and let's get cragging. All righty.

So this is the audio of the actual traffic stop. All right. So this is him getting stopped. Guys got his body cam on. Let's start listening to this. So the reason for it stops because, you're, You're veering off to the left and then you're not stopping at the stop signs. Yeah.

Sorry about that. Is this your vehicle? Whose vehicle is it? It's a rental. It's a rental? Okay. Do you have any registration with it? Do you know if they can put it in the glove box?

Now, in fairness, even if he wasn't drunk and it wasn't a rental, I, from experience, I can never find the registration in my car. I say my car. I haven't had my car in forever, just Jilly's car. Maybe that's why I don't know where anything is because it's Jilly's. car because I'm a broke Jamoke that doesn't have a car. But let's start here. When you listen to other people getting a DUI and see videos of it and you see everybody

the way they look, you really, the first thing I think of any time I hear that someone got a DUI is, holy shit, how have I never gotten a DUI? And that's not something to be proud of, by the way. Well, I guess in a way, there is something to be proud of in a technical sense. You should be proud if you know you could have been in a position to get a DUI. DUI or DWI that you didn't and you didn't kill anybody. Again, it's nothing to be proud of. Okay, it's nothing that you should, you know, pat yourself on the back for.

But I guarantee you, most of you listening to this today have had multiple opportunities where you very well could have gotten a DUI. And then you wonder to yourself, like, how did I drive so well that I didn't? You know, like there's that scene in Wolf of Wall Street where my man thinks he made it. home. After taking all the quailudes from the country club, he thinks he got home and everything was fine. But in reality, he just like hit everything on the way home, right? I wonder if I was driving shitty and just got lucky that no one saw or if I legitimately drove very well while intoxicated. That would be my like questioning myself in all of this. Did I legitimately drive well? Or did I just get lucky that no one saw me drive?

poorly. Like, you know that, like, that mindset you're in, even when you've had a little bit to drink, like all of a sudden your hands are on 10 and 2, you're not, you're not picking up your phone, you're not doing anything, you are locked in. To the point that you're driving almost too well, that you should be suspicious. You should be more suspicious because you're driving so well, and sometimes you'll even drive so slow under the speed limit that you become an issue. So there are issues, you know, on both sides of this thing. But that said, you shouldn't be proud of that. although you should be proud of the fact that you didn't kill anybody or yourself or get the DUI. The other thing I noticed early on in this is my man does the white dude thing.

And the white dude thing is like you're very complimentary of the cop. You apologize for things. First thing you should do, if you want advice from Uncle Josh, first thing you should do is acknowledge that you fucked up. Not in this case because you're trying to. I've never gotten a DUI so I wouldn't be like, yes, sir, I'm drunk. Like, that I probably wouldn't do, right? But in any other situation, when you're not hammered, the first thing you should do when a cop pulls you over, especially if you know, I mean, you know, look, there's never a time you're going to get pulled over that you didn't know what you did for the most part, right? Like, you'll know, like, oops, like the last time I got pulled over a couple months ago was I made a right turn on red or some shit.

The second, the guy pulled me over. I'm like, yep, I know what I fucked up. Here's my information, whatever. And he goes, hey, cool, I'll let you off. you know, let you off easy on this one. Still had to pay $200 for it. But whatever. But you should always be apologetic and not even apologetic,

but at least acknowledge that you know that you fucked up. And what you did that fucked up. Like, yeah, like you don't want to be combative with these guys and give them an opportunity to fuck you up or anything like that. Guy pulls you over. Hey, officer. Yeah, my bad. I know.

I know, I guess. Well, because I wasn't positive about the situation because I didn't see a side. Like, I didn't turn right on red knowing this. that you couldn't make a turn on red. I just, I assume that had to be why he was pulling me over because there was no other reason. I'm going to say, well, I'm assuming that I made a right on red. He goes, yeah, here's my information. Okay, bud, whatever.

Now, there have been other times I've gotten out of tickets by people just knowing who I am. Like, it was another illegal right turn thing. It was in Baton Rouge, and I was a young guy on the radio there. Guy goes, and I've told you this before, but I make a right turn. It was near LSU, maybe on Nicholson near LSU, not that anybody listening knows the reference. But it's late at night. I'm turning right. Cops, lights flash.

Okay, cool. I give him my ID. And he looks at it, looks at me and goes, hey, are you fastest hour? And I go, yeah, because I was the show I was on. He goes, love the show. And then hands the license back. Now, this is before, you know, body cams and shit. I would imagine it's more difficult to get away, like, like get let off with a warning and shit like that with body cams.

Like, I understand the point of the body cam. The body cam is, you know, to make sure cops aren't abusing. their powers and shit. But to me, the body cam just hurts the good people like me who made a slight mistake and we get let off, you know, the hook. Anyway. Do you visit him? Yeah, I'm on tour.

What are you doing? I'm on a world tour. A what? A world tour. Doing what? Hard to explain. And this is where you've screwed yourself, Justin. Because you're trying so hard to.

hard to not explain that you're Justin Timberlake, that now you just sound like a drunk dude that might be on drugs who's talking about how he's on a world tour. Like, if you just want to say, hey, I'm Justin Timberlake, I, you know, I'm a singer, whatever. But what he's trying to do is drop the world tour thing because he's trying to subtly have this guy go, oh, who are you? Are you a celebrity? What do I know you from? What you should have done is just said, I'm in town.

Because the worst thing you can do a lot of the time is drop the idea that you're some big shit celebrity. And they hate that. I think I've told you guys this story before. That should be the name of the podcast. I think I've told you this story before. But there was a time that me and dad were driving through Memphis. We were driving to Missouri for something.

And we were driving through Memphis. And dad was doing like a hundred somewhere right around Memphis. And mind you, at this time, dad had like a deputy badge, like some, you know, police station and Louisiana gave him like a sheriff's badge or whatever. So he would have this thing like hanging from his mirror. And at one point we got pulled over doing like a hundred on our way to somewhere. It was me and dad in the car. And the cop pulls him over and dad kind of tries to subtly flash this badge.

And the guy writes him a ticket and he says, and if you ever show me that fucking badge again, I will throw you in jail on principle. Dad's like, yes, sir. But my dad always found weird ways to take advantage of that badge. I've told you about the time, I think. that there was like a murder, like a shooting at one of the malls in Baton Rouge. It was the outdoor mall.

The hell is the name of that area. Oh, I forgot what the hell that area is called now. It's off of airline. But I forgot what that Hammondare. It was the Hammondare Shopping Center. And there was a shooting, I want to say, at a car wash that was next store to the Hammondare Shopping Center. And it was a shooting. Multiple people died, right?

And dad shows up on the scene with his badge like he's fucking Columbo. I'm like, Dad, I don't think that's how that works. But dad would just show up at this shit and take advantage of this badge. But anyway, so, and, you know, the guy wanted to throw Dad in jail for showing him his badge. It's never a good idea to name drop or anything. But where my man really hurt himself here is he just sounded delusional at this point. Like he sounded hammered. And he sounded like someone that's either on drugs or hands.

hammered. He's like, I'm on a world tour. And he can't explain what he means by the fact he's on a world tour. But see, you're drunk at that point. You don't know that you sound ridiculous. In his mind, he might sound great. But he sounds ridiculous because that was the mistake. The mistake you made, J.T, is rambling on through this whole idea that you're on some world tour and shit. Real bad mistake on your part. This is, I think, what really kind of tipped the guy off that he should probably get you out of the car and do a test. World Tour and Justin

Timberlake. Like at this point was he thinking that saying the World Tour thing was going to lead the guy down the path to asking who are you because it didn't obviously

and now what ends up happening is my man has to explain that he's Justin Timberlake and now it's a mess. What's your name? Justin Timberlake. You are Justin Timberlake? Yeah.

Do you have a license with you? Yeah, I do. And then you're going to put your right foot in front of your left stage just like that. Now my man's got to do the field sobriety test, which I guess in his defense, it seemed difficult anyway, even if you're sober. Okay. Are you going to be heels of toe like this?

Fields a toe. What if you just have shitty balance? Like what if you're doing the field sobriety test and you just have shitty balance? Like you haven't had anything to drink, but you, you know, you just stumble. Well, at that point, you'd probably do the breathalyzer, but what if you get a false positive? I don't know. 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 1,000, 4, 1,000, 5,000, 1,000. All right, that's all good.

By the way, these are, like, these are, like, really hard tests. I think that's the point there, Justin. Or they're really easy tests, but they seem difficult because you're hammered. Again, it's one of those situations where, like, I guarantee you most of you listening have had a situation where you, at least once in your life, but probably multiple chances that you could have gotten a DUI had you gotten pulled over. And then by some miracle, you didn't kill yourself or anybody else, and you didn't get the DUI. Like, we've all had that.

Like, I think about that all the time, especially, like, now that doesn't happen all that often for me anymore because I very rarely am anywhere. Like, if I drink anything anywhere, generally speaking, it's at a bar right around the corner, right? Or I'll go to a ball game, have a couple beers, and drive home. Very rarely do I find myself in a situation? situation where now in 2026, I can go, Josh, that was a really bad decision. But back in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, Josh made a lot of shitty decisions and regrettable decisions that fortunately did not lead to horrible things happening, catastrophic things happening. And I think we all did that at some point.

But in 2026, it's pretty amazing that anybody can get a DUI. But I know people say, well, what about taking an Uber or whatever? Like, it's easy, you're right? But when you're hammered, you're like, I don't want to deal with all that shit. Or you've had a little bit to drink. You don't want to have to leave your car somewhere. You think you're okay. Like, a lot of people do it.

And obviously, Justin Timberlake in the Hamptons is one of them. So the way this device works, you just put your lips over it and you blow up, blow into it like you're blowing a balloon. No? Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. At this point, based on the observations, you know, under the rest for suspicion of drug and all intoxicated.

There has to be a moment of talk. And then, now this woman here, I guess this is his friend, and she's pretty obnoxious too. There has to be a moment of talking. No. Not anymore. Please help me. Not anymore. Hold on.

Okay. Hold on. This is the registration of the vehicle. Just make sure it stays with the vehicle, okay? I have his phone. Yeah. Yep. Can you guys please just do me a favor because you love to buy, bye, bye.

You're like sexy. Bad. Like, do me one favor. Let me ask him if he wants me to give him his phone. I love this. Now, I don't know if at any point they said, hey, I love sexy back and bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. But, hey, do me a favor since you love sexy back or bye, bye, bye, can you give me his phone? That's what they should have had him do is try to do the dance from bye, bye, bye, bye. See, that would have been something. If he could have pulled off doing the bye-bye-bye dance, it's like, you know what, you're sober. Move along. This is insane. So it's not going to be a long thing. I'll let you walk up real quick. Please.

So the reason for it stopped. So that's Justin Timberlake. Now, there's more to this, though, because then there's video of him in the jail. There's some of the funnier shit actually took place in the jail, right? So let's do this. Let's move on to that one now. So that's Justin Timberlake getting arrested, him being pulled over, getting arrested, field sobriety test.

You heard all that. Now what we'll do is let's see. is let's see if we can move on to Justin Timberlake actually in the jail. Let me see if I get to make sure I have that here. Let's see. Is that it right here? I think that is it. All right.

So let's do that. We'll do the next episode after this.
