| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Chris Harreff and a Pluton and Chris Harre podcast that I'm taking the bingles over |
| 0:03.5 | the buck in years and there came Sunday December 17th. Bedon Line has free odds of lines available |
| 0:08.2 | online or mobile device. Visit Bedon Line.net today. Did you know that driving high is considered |
| 0:13.2 | driving under the influence? That's right. Driving under the influence of marijuana is against the |
| 0:18.0 | law in every state, even in states where marijuana is legal. That means driving high could get you a |
| 0:22.8 | DUI. And if you think law enforcement officers can't tell when you're driving high, you're wrong, |
| 0:27.9 | your friends can tell, your coworkers can tell, even your parents can tell, everyone can tell. |
| 0:33.9 | So what makes you think that law enforcement officers don't know when you're driving high? |
| 0:38.1 | Driving under the influence of marijuana can slow your response time and change how you perceive |
| 0:42.3 | time and speed. So even if you think you're fine to drive when you're high, you're not, |

| 0:59.4 | Coming up next on the Jordan Harbinger Show. One time, you know, I had an issue where somebody |
| 1:04.4 | was trying to bully me. I got so mad, I just went in my room, I've stayed up for a thousand |
| 1:08.0 | seasons. And I was like, okay, you know, I'm just going to go right in front of the crew, |
| 1:11.7 | I was by myself with some seasons. Just sat right there, I was ready to go. Because I'm like, |
| 1:16.4 | what else am I going to do? I'm new to this. That's the thing about being on the |
| 1:19.7 | crew. You don't know what somebody's going through. Even though you'd be, we see you go outside, |
| 1:23.8 | we see you chilling laughter. It seems like we all are going through the same things, but we not. |
| 1:28.0 | I'm not having a good day today. You know what I mean? So it's the wrong person in the bully today. |
| 1:32.4 | Because it's not even going to happen, we can be going to fight. |
| 1:38.7 | Welcome to the show. I'm Jordan Harbinger. On the Jordan Harbinger Show, we decode the stories, |
