This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast. This happened Friday early afternoon before, or after, excuse me, we had all left for the week. Tiger Woods got involved in another car accident and has a DUI. And I'm having a hard time getting my head around the fact that one of the most recognizable athletes in the history of America... shows the symptoms of being an addict, shows the symptoms of having to self-medicate on pain stuff. And I was asking you guys, I remember this conversation the other day because I know that most people who have money problems think that money solves all the problems and if you didn't have money problems you would then be okay so a lot of times rich people don't get your compassion
or your empathy on things. So when I said to you guys, how many back surgeries has he now had, Jeremy? Is it nine? When I said to you guys, hey man, like him still trying to play golf with all of that torque and still having all of these surgeries suggests that none of the other surgeries are working. So he's constantly waking up in pain. And if I asked him, hey, How much of your money here could I get rid of if I promise to get rid of that pain, I'm guessing he would give up a lot of his money not to wake up over every morning in some kind of pain. Our pharmaceutical problem in the United States and the world is a giant one. You mix pain medicine with alcohol, it'll make the pain go away.
What happened to Tiger Woods and how does it relate to addiction?
And I know a lot of people, everyone is saying, why don't you just get a driver? A driver doesn't make the pain go away, and yes, of course, he should get a driver, but I am now left with the impression, and tell me if it's an unfair one, to think that if he's getting caught this many times with reckless car accidents, he's probably not getting caught every single time that he's doing it. So unfortunate that he can't hide any of these or he can't cover any of these up. So when I present to you guys, hey, is this the behavior of an addict? Does does Tiger Woods have a substance problem? Do you guys just land on? Yes, of course. Now, at this point, he does.
I do. Yeah. Yeah. Did you see where he flipped his car? Hold the sack. And what time of day? Yeah. He blew a zero. So like this is I've dealt with it in my life. And it was always a dicey proposition when that person would get behind the wheel and they got into accidents. And they would say that they're in pain, but 10 years after the procedure, you like the drugs, too. I don't doubt that he wakes up in pain, but I also think that that could be an excuse for someone that also really likes the drugs and he needs to get his life in order.
Oh, but when people are saying, and I get why everyone ends up there, just get a driver. Yes, of course. There's too much damage. I mean, people like their freedom. But yes, of course, get a driver. But if a person can afford a driver in a way that all of us are like, what are you doing? Just get a driver. Do you know how much access that person has to pain medicine? Do you know how much access that person has? You cannot... You think of addicts rummaging through your parents' belongings in order to sell things out of desperation. This person can have access to every single thing they want every time they leave their cul-de-sac.
I think that's two different conversations. This guy's been hearing for 20 years, get a driver. He very clearly values his privacy so he can go out and do whatever he sees fit. And part of that is what we saw play out, possibly. And TMZ is reporting that he's not getting a driver. I don't know how they would know that, but it's a report that came out.
Kind of the same situation with Patrick Mahomes Sr., right? That every time we see him in the news, it's like he's got another DUI, another DUI. And it's like, at what point do you just tell the guy, hey, you can't leave the house without somebody taking you somewhere. It just doesn't happen.
I understand how that might be frustrating too, right? Like that feeling of a lack of freedom we look at as a luxury. Like I wish I had someone who could drive me around all the time, but I could see in the eyes of an addict in particular, well, you guys don't trust me.
