[00:44:23]
The man said, "Right down there". He says, 'Oh, thank you,' and he put that back in his pocket, went to the restroom and came back. And then he left the bar got in his car and he was going too fast.
[00:44:37]
And the police stopped him, pulled him over, and ordered him over to the side he says, "I'm deaf, I'm deaf" he pulls out his pad to give him to write on
[00:44:50]
