What you put on tv was a complete lie. I've never been charged. That's what you say. You have cocaine in there with a razor blade. You're saying that I was on all that? I was never double the limit on my alcohol. I was 0.04 over. And the reason I stopped at that bar is because two people called me and said they were too drunk to drive. I said, I'll swing by going right into Hood River. (30:06–30:11)
