4-16-26 TP5 Reasons ROCK 108 Reduced Themselves To Comedy

So Tom Garland is with us here today and you think you got it bad, Tom?

Drivers in 46 U.S.

states left temporarily stranded in March when breathalyzer devices installed on their cars went inactive.

Oh no.

The ignition interlock devices that require a driver, typically one who's been convicted of an alcohol related driving offense, breathe into a tube and will prevent the car from starting if the system detects alcohol beyond the state mandated threshold.

The cyber attack on the back end systems at Intoxalock prevented devices from verifying compliance.

Yeah.

Been there,

unfortunately.

You've been locked out of your car because

of cloud issues?

I've been locked.

I've had an interlock in

my

car.

Really?

Okay.

Yeah, I had two DUIs, which means I only did it hundreds of thousands of times.

They got me.

I learned my lesson.

It's good.

I think that DUIs are like the vaccine.

You have to take it at least twice for it to.

The vaccine itself.

Yeah.

And like we talked about on Tuesday, it was a vaccine beer.

So, I mean, there you got a problem.

You got that problem.

Yeah.

First thing I did when you do have to blow into it, you have to blow into it when your car starts.

The interlock device.

The interlock device.

Yep.

Yes.

Okay.

And first thing I did was blow weed into it.

I was like we're gonna find out I'm either going right back right now or we're in the clear and the thing like dings when it's clearing when I was like yes we are in the game

oh boy we're in the game huh yeah but at least you weren't locked up because of the fact that there was like a cyber attack so no that's crazy who's the hacker that's going I'm gonna mess with somebody

yeah

I

could be able to drive

Man, I honestly I did feel like it's kind of a recovery program in a sense Oh, you could take a class or you could go to jail, but I don't know if you really learn your lesson you You do that to your car like I did for two years traveling as a stand-up comedian going all over the country

Blowing into that thing every 20 minutes, the interlock device, the interlock device.

Yeah, I just want

to make sure.

Yeah.

I mean, OK, you're not too far off, though, because you don't just blow into it.

You hum on it.

You

know, the guy that installed it in my car, he was like, this one's a hover baby.

You got to put you.

And I was like, what?

Why do they do that?

And so you have to hum on it.

You have to cup the bottom of it.

You have to lick

the interlock device.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It presses on your head.

It'll call your names.

There's a reason Tom Garland is here, it's not just talking interlock devices, you'll find out after the news next.
