Can losing a driver's license really be just a minor inconvenience for a celebrity? In this episode, we kick off with a shoutout to Steve Pugh and his captivating podcast "Nerdy Ambitions." Then, we dive headfirst into the latest headline-grabbing event: Justin Timberlake's arrest for drunk driving in the Hamptons. We speculate about the circumstances surrounding his arrest and ponder if alcohol was the only substance involved. From there, we examine the broader implications of DUI laws, the rise of ride-sharing services like Uber, and the emerging role of self-driving cars, questioning if losing a license is truly the severe punishment it once was.
Switching gears, we celebrate Juneteenth being recognized as a national holiday and discuss why it took so long for this significant day to be honored at a national level. We also unravel the complexities behind determining Easter's date, comparing it to fixed-date holidays like July 4th. The conversation gets a refreshing twist as we debate the official beverage of the United States, pitting iced tea, coffee, and Coke against each other. We introduce the unique franchise H-T-O, which specializes in an array of iced tea flavors and muse about how water quality might affect the taste of your favorite foods and drinks. Finally, we urge our listeners to provide feedback to help us enhance the show and make sure our content stays top-notch and relevant.

Speaker 3Hello everyone.
Speaker 2And Kat.
Speaker 3Hey, hey.
Speaker 2Holy shit, if it wasn't for Keebler, we'd have the whole team together. Little bastard, he's out there making cookies. What a dick, what a dick. Anyway, we're here to discuss the news today. We got a lot going on in the world, huh? Sure Casey, what do you got?
Speaker 3I mean I was going with the Justin Timberlake situation. I think we all heard he was arrested For drunk driving. Apparently he claims he only had one, martini. His eyes don't look so great in the picture.
Speaker 2Maybe he got roofied. Maybe, that's happened to me before.
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, you were roofied.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, some guy tried to roofie me one time.
Speaker 4A guy. Look at you Big man on campus.
Speaker 2He goes hey, I got this open beer that nobody wants. Do you want it? I was like sure, why not? Next thing I know I couldn't see. Wow, yeah, screwed up.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2It was.
Speaker 3I'm not sure that's what happened to Justin, but you know it's a big news topic because he's Tell us more about what happened though. He was in New York he was in the Hamptons. Obviously yeah, the Hamptons. He was driving home and I think he went through a stop sign. They said he went wrong lane or something and they pulled him over and he refused the breathalyzer. Apparently, in New York that means you automatically lose your license.
Speaker 2That's a hefty no offense, but what does he have?
Speaker 3to drive for I'm not sure about that at all.
Speaker 2What does losing his license mean?
Speaker 3Well, he was obviously driving, so I guess he does drive.
Speaker 2I'm sure he does drive, but he doesn't have to.
Speaker 3I wouldn't know why he'd be the one driving home, but a lot of these actors get arrested for that stuff, like actors and singers and famous people that literally could afford to pay for drivers. How is it?
Speaker 2harmful to them. What do you mean?
Speaker 3harmful. What do you mean? It's harmful.
Speaker 2You lost your driver's license? Oh, let me just have my limo driver drive me around. Oh, exactly. So what's the big deal? All this is about is the cops getting recognition.
Speaker 4We're pulling over Justin Timberlake. We pulled over JT.
Speaker 3I think they kept him overnight too. He doesn't even get to just go home. He just gets overnight.
Speaker 2I bet you two of those police officers tried to kiss him too.
Speaker 3I bet his wife is pretty not happy with him right now, but I don't know. I don't understand why he would have driven anywhere if that were the case. He claims he had one drink. His eyes look like he's had probably not drinks necessarily. It looks like he was definitely doing something other than drinks, is my guess.
Speaker 2You don't know that.
Speaker 1No, but his eyes were pretty bloodshot.
Speaker 2Were you there? No, did you see his eyes?
Speaker 3no, we saw the the pictures of them the mugshot the mugshot?
Speaker 2yeah, because everybody looks great in a mugshot some people smile yeah, next time I get my mugshot taken, I'm flipping the camera off those people don't seem to know what's happening when they're smiling.
Speaker 3Right that I get my mugshot taken. I'm flipping the camera off. Those people don't seem to know what's happening when they're smiling at me. That idea.
Speaker 1Oh man, oh man, oh man.
Speaker 2No way, no way. This is happening right now.
Speaker 3But yeah, I guess he loses at least in New York?
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 3I don't know why he would be driving. He doesn't need to drive, obviously.
Speaker 2That's what I'm saying. So what's the big deal about taking away his license?
Speaker 3He doesn't need to drive Nothing, it's just In fact no offense.
Speaker 2It's become an outdated thing. You can Uber anywhere, exactly, so what does it mean to take away your license?
Speaker 3Well, it's still an inconvenience. I would rather drive than Uber.
Speaker 2If I got pulled over, I'd sell my cars, my vehicles and everything and just Uber everywhere, because it would probably cost me less.
Speaker 4Yeah, because don't they have to put that machine now in, if you get there?
Speaker 2No, I'll sell my car. Screw you guys.
Speaker 3I get that, but.
Speaker 2I'll Uber everywhere.
Speaker 3That's if you're in trouble. I mean, in normal life I wouldn't have to. I don't want to have to wait for an Uber. I don't want to have to pay to have somebody come get me all the time. I want to be able to jump in my car and go do what I've got to do. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 2It's an inconvenience in the beginning, but then you begin to get into a habit and a cycle where, all of a sudden, it doesn't matter anymore, it's just your way of life and you really don't even need a car anymore. And now they have cars that drive you. They have cars that drive you. That's what they're trying to push and they still pull you over for DUI and they put this mechanism in your vehicle so you can't drive anywhere. It's outdated.
Speaker 4It's outdated, it's stupid and it's becoming what Sometimes people, like celebrities, want their own independence, so for him to not be able to do that.
Speaker 2They still have their own.
Speaker 4No, he's relying still on somebody to take him everywhere.
Speaker 2Record company send me a limo.
Speaker 4Done, that's still relying on someone to take him somewhere. What if he wants to just drive?
Speaker 2So, drive.
Speaker 4Well, he's not going to, he'll have to breathe in the machine first.
Speaker 2No, buy a self-driving car. That way you don't have to worry about it. That's where this is going.
Speaker 3I don't trust the self-driving cars.
Speaker 4Do you no?
Speaker 2I'm not saying I do or don't, but they're self-driving cars. Am I wrong? No, you're right. Self-driving cars, am I wrong? No, you're right, there are. So what are these?
Speaker 3mechanisms doing anymore. Well, most people do not have the self-driving cars.
Speaker 4Right.
Speaker 2Yet.
Speaker 4And you can't start these cars with a mechanism in them right until you breathe normal.
Speaker 2You can't drive a self-driving car.
Speaker 4Probably Driving itself.
Speaker 2Why would you need to breathe in it?
Speaker 4That I'm unsure of. Yeah.
Speaker 2Well, why don't we tackle this a little later? I'm just saying it sounds stupid. It sounds stupid. You want to have self-driving cars, yet you still want to pull people over for DUI. Can you be arrested for a DUI if you're driving a self-driving car?
Speaker 3I don't think so.
Speaker 2You shouldn't be able to Because we're not actually driving. You're not driving, yes, no, the car is driving, right? Huh, that should be messed up.
Speaker 3I think the percentage of people at this point in time that have self-driving cars right now is probably pretty low.
Speaker 2I don't know that statistic Ten years ago nobody had an electric vehicle either.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 2Now Tesla's all about it. I'm saying is can you get arrested in a self-driving car? If you're intoxicated, you're not driving the cars. Is that a case you can make?
Speaker 3Do you sit in the back seat? How does?
Speaker 2that work.
Speaker 3I don't even understand. I'm not sure I'm able to do that. Who?
Speaker 1gives a crap the car's driving.
Speaker 4The car's just weird.
Speaker 2Anyway, that went a little bit longer. Next topic what do you got? What do you got, Kat?
Speaker 4Juneteenth. Today is 6-19, Juneteenth.
Speaker 2That is today Right, the end of slavery.
Speaker 4The end of slavery, when Biden decided to make it a bill to actually have people have the day off to celebrate it on June 17th 2021.
Speaker 3Bank holiday, stock market holiday.
Speaker 4Right, I still work today.
Speaker 3I don't think the post office of the town is work. I think everything's closed.
Speaker 2I think it's a good idea. I think it's something that should be celebrated.
Speaker 4Why now though? Why in the last? Because white people are stupid. Well, you're putting all. Why in the last?
Speaker 2Because white people are stupid, well you're putting all of us in the same. You're damn right. That's why we're here. Dirty White people are stupid. This should have been done a long time ago.
Speaker 3I didn't even know what Juneteenth was until they made it a holiday which is a little weird, I agree. There's a lot of days that you hear about that are not necessarily holidays that are still significant days in history.
Speaker 2Tomorrow's World Production Day.
Speaker 4What? What Seriously Did you make that up? No?
Speaker 2I'm serious, I'm serious, it is.
Speaker 4I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2Tomorrow is World Drink a Lot of Wine Day.
Speaker 4Is that a Facebook thing, like in Friday's National Vodka Day? How about that?
Speaker 3I feel like those days are all made up. So, is this one that was made up.
Speaker 2I could legit tell you what all the holidays are in the rest of the month if you'd like me to, okay, alright.
Speaker 3Your calendar tells you all these random days.
Speaker 2No, my mechanism to promote the show tells me when all the holidays are, which is why I went with the World Productivity Day tomorrow for the episode, for the promotion. It gives me all the holidays, all out in front of me and I know what's what.
Speaker 3Okay, so reality. Did you know what Juneteenth was before they made it a holiday a few years ago? Had you ever heard of it? Truth?
Speaker 2No, before they made it a holiday a few years ago had you ever heard of it? Truth no, before they made it a holiday, I did not know that there was the abolition of slavery Right. I did not know that. I did know, when they made it a holiday, what it was.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2And why they made it a holiday, so I didn't know the exact date of when that happened.
Speaker 4I had never heard of anybody celebrating it had never been a thing until they made it a holiday. It was actually a historical event finally received federal recognition in recent years June 19th 1865. The day all people living in the United States, including formal enslaved, were officially granted freedom.
Exploring Iced Tea Franchises and Reviews
Speaker 2That's what I'm saying. I did not know the date of it. When they said Juneteenth Day and they said why it was Juneteenth, I knew from there what it was Okay, so I did. That's kind of a, because it's been four or five years at least At least Because 2021 he put into a national bill or whatever Three years.
Speaker 4Three years, yeah, all right, right, and National or bill or whatever Three years yeah.
Speaker 2All right, right, and so I knew what Juneteenth was when they installed it. I'm not sure if installed is the right word to say, but inducted it. Right.
Speaker 3Made it a holiday.
Speaker 2They made it a holiday, and they should have done it a long, long time before that.
Speaker 3That was a huge moment in United States history. It was, I agree.
Speaker 2I get it. It should have been honored well before this.
Speaker 4I agree. Yes, I work today. It's like a national holiday. I don't know how I got out of that.
Speaker 2Because it's a national holiday.
Speaker 4It's like Easter. I still worked is what I'm saying. I didn't get out of it today. Easter is on a Sunday that doesn't count as a national holiday, and Easter is a religious holiday actually.
Speaker 2Yeah, what does it matter? So is Christmas. It's on any day of the week, whenever it falls.
Speaker 3Right, yeah, it's true.
Speaker 2July 4th. Want to go with that one instead.
Speaker 3Independence Day. Yeah right, it's another.
Speaker 2Easter, whatever day it falls. It's always the 4th. Right, it's always the 19th yeah, easter's always on a Sunday, that's correct, but it's not always the same day. No.
Speaker 3Correct, and it's not even the same month. All the time.
Speaker 2I can't figure out that one. I don't know how that goes. Lent dude.
Speaker 1I don't know how to determine that we're not going to get into that, but I can't figure out how that is determined every year.
Speaker 3So I'm sorry. What?
Speaker 2do you got? I got, iced tea, iced tea, iced tea, okay, straight up, iced tea, probably the official beverage of the United States of America.
Speaker 3Let's be honest, the official beverage.
Speaker 2Official.
Speaker 4It's got to be. I'm going to disagree with you on that one.
Speaker 2Okay, what's the official?
Speaker 4beverage, I'm going to go with either a coffee or a Coke.
Speaker 3I was going to say a coffee, but yeah, iced tea.
Speaker 2I don't know the official beverage, coffee, is from South America.
Speaker 3But, everybody drinks coffee. Where's iced tea?
Speaker 4Where was iced tea made? Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2Newfoundland? No, I didn't say that you have no idea. That's a solid question. I have no idea.
Speaker 4Wow.
Speaker 1We just put that on its place.
Speaker 3I'm going to guess you don't know where that's from. I know the British drink a lot of tea.
Speaker 4They do they probably don't.
Speaker 3I don't know that they invented tea. Right they might have.
Speaker 2I should have probably looked that up.
Speaker 3I should have probably looked that up. Yeah, you probably should especially if you're going to throw out coffee, right hey.
Speaker 2Tea's from all over the world, coffee's not how many. How many coffee farms are in America? Are there any?
Speaker 4coffee farms harvesting beans well, that comes definitely Like. That's definitely not United States.
Speaker 3Yeah, you know I'm, I have no idea, you can grow tea here though. Really, really.
Speaker 2Where. Yeah where, right on my backyard, if you'd like Plant some seeds.
Speaker 4I'm actually gonna give that little bit of credit, because you can grow tea leaves. You can grow.
Speaker 3But I will say have any of us actually looked into growing coffee?
Speaker 2Probably, not Probably not, you probably could.
Speaker 3I bet you could.
Speaker 2I don't think we have the soil for it, unless we want apple coffee.
Speaker 3Some people like apple coffee.
Speaker 2Anyway, a company called H-T-O, t-e-a, h-t-e-a-o, it's franchising of iced tea.
Speaker 3Just iced tea, just iced tea.
Speaker 2They have 25 different flavors and I'm wondering.
Speaker 1I was thinking about it, I was like you could do a lot with iced tea.
Speaker 2It's a good time.
Speaker 3Are they like infusing flavor into each of the teas.
Speaker 2Yeah, like mango and peach. I mean, you go to the store and you see all these. There's a million different types of iced tea in bottles already. So different types of iced tea in bottles already. So what makes this company different than anyone else? They do it naturally, they do it themselves. So it's fresh, organic iced tea and everything is done, and it's going to be like pizza, I guarantee it.
Speaker 4Like pizza.
Speaker 2Because pizza is based on the water that the dough is made from. That's really how pizza is. That's why pizza is different all over the world.
Speaker 3The dough is correct. The dough.
Speaker 2Whatever water you use in the dough is what makes the pizza the pizza.
Speaker 3Okay, really. Yeah, that's what, like you can't get really like good pizza or something in the South usually.
Speaker 4Like Florida, doesn't have great pizza. Even California pizza is different than New England pizza.
Speaker 2That's why Chicago style is different from.
Speaker 3Bagels same. Thing.
Speaker 2Bagels are the same way, right, yep? And it all boils down to the water. And it's going to do the same thing with iced tea. Guarantee it, unless they have some way of filtrating their water to make it all the same way.
Speaker 3Wouldn't they just filter the water? Doesn't everybody filter water for things like that?
Speaker 2No, I don't know, I don't know about that.
Speaker 4I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2I haven't dove that far into it, dived, dived. I haven't dove that far into it to find out. I just found this interesting. I'm like, hmm, iced tea franchise. Nobody's around here. Maybe we start here.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2What? Of course, I need 250 grand liquid in the bank and it'd be worth a million.
Speaker 4We're taking donations people. So if anybody out there.
Speaker 3Open a franchise.
Speaker 2Open a franchise wants to back me in this. I'm just saying Back us all up, I'm saying there's a chance. But yeah, they just started franchising. They're all in Texas right now and they just went to Missouri.
Speaker 3Okay, and like I said, it's $250,000, liquid capital.
Speaker 2Plus you have to be worth a million bucks or more to even be thought about to have a franchise.
Speaker 4Who has a million dollars in this day and age anyway, seriously, A lot more people than you would think.
Speaker 3I was going to say actually a lot of people do yeah.
Speaker 2I guess, but not necessarily $250, that you want to spend on a franchise Liquid capital.
Speaker 4Liquid capital right.
Speaker 2That you want to plunk down on something. You've got to be worth more than a million bucks.
Speaker 3It's actually not as rare.
Speaker 2That's a lot of money. It's not that much anymore, especially with inflation going the way it is, but anyway, that being said, I thought it was interesting. If I could, I would sign up for this, if anybody's out there listening do it, man Do it, do it. We're going to put up a subscribe button. Oh boy and donors. We're going to see what we subscribe button, oh boy and donors. And we're going to see what we can make. No way, if you guys can help us out with $250,000. Okay, Capital.
Speaker 3It doesn't make your net worth a million?
Speaker 2No, but I got something to put down. I got all these people behind me. You know what?
Speaker 3I mean You're going to use all of the net worth combined, how many partners?
Speaker 4are in this franchise 100?.
Speaker 2You're all going to make some cash Probably 34 cents each, but whatever, that's all right, you'll get your money back. Maybe I just thought it was a great idea. I think this is the best idea I've seen in a long time. And by the way, that guy over at the other website does all those pizza reviews, Don't get me wrong. I love them. I would say it's me on air. I'm not sure if I care or can't.
Speaker 3Yeah, I wouldn't, but yes, pizza reviews. I think I could say Prez Okay, because that's not really a name.
Speaker 2I love them. I love watching it. Dude, we could do iced teas, iced tea reviews. Hell yeah, why not? You can go place to place and get an iced tea Starbucks Iced tea Palace. Okay, iced tea, temple, iced tea, up Yours, whatever it is.
Speaker 3Can I ask a quick question how many iced tea places? Are around our area I don't think there's many.
Speaker 4I don't know that I've seen any.
Speaker 2Have you ever looked into it?
Speaker 3No, but I've never seen one.
Speaker 2Talk to me when you have. Have you, I have Really.
Speaker 3How many Name one?
Speaker 2I'm sure.
Speaker 4I can go somewhere and get an iced tea. I go to Dunkin' Donuts and get an iced tea, but that's another company that serves that plus, that's not an iced tea company.
Speaker 2You can walk into a Dunkin' Donuts, get an iced tea and critique it.
Speaker 3You can, but you're asking for iced tea. There's a show.
Speaker 4Please. You're asking for iced tea, please. That's what I'm saying, this is a good idea.
Speaker 2This is a good idea and I think it should be had, and had by all.
Speaker 1Okay, okay, that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2You might be very disappointed when they hand you either sweet and that's about it, and not often coffee either. Personally, no offense, I wouldn't care. I love unsweetened iced tea, I love unsweetened iced tea. I love unsweetened iced tea.
Speaker 3But these places don't have huge varieties, is I guess what?
Speaker 2I'm saying, oh, I'm sorry, I can go to the grocery store and just grab a peach mango iced tea off the shelf in a bottle.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, oh, so they have plenty of flavors, don.
Speaker 2Yeah, oh so they have plenty of flavors. Don't do that. If I can go to the grocery store and get a bottle of iced tea, I can go to a store and they're gonna.
Speaker 3They'll pump a squirt in there, I'm sure oh, maybe make it like that, but that's my point this place.
Speaker 2This place does not do that.
Speaker 3H-t-o they're infusing they're infusing it. Yes, there they're infusing it.
Speaker 2There's no sweetness to it. No, I don't know if there's sweetness to it or not. I don't know how it works. I just came up with this today. I just found it, and that was my report for the day.
Speaker 3This is a news episode.
Speaker 2This is how it works, and if Keebler were here, he'd be on my side. He'd be on my side.
Speaker 3I don't know. I think Keebler prefers us to be on his side.
Speaker 4By the way, I'm not sure about that. By the way, we are more secure than he is. Yes, than you are, by the way.
Speaker 2Hey, sammy J, how are you? So? All right, I think we're getting to the end of this one, because you guys are porking me, oh boy, telling me I can't do stuff.
Speaker 4Nobody said that. No, that's not what we said.
