He's in his personal vehicle. He stopped. He's like, "Hey, are you okay? What's going on?" And she's like, "Are you diabetic or something?" And she said she was sick. So they called medics out to check her, but she she gave medics a hard time and refused everything >> cuz she she's not allowed to drink >> what she she had. >> And there's a reason why she's not allowed to drink is cuz she gets like that. >> She she probably had one drink and that's how she gets. >> She she said she's had two is what she told me. >> Yeah.
