Specifically, he was making a point about cornerback Marshon Lattimore. As hosts Grant Paulsen and Danny Rouhier dutifully listened, a beeping in the background brought his discussion to an immediate halt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHold on, one second,\u201d said the caller.<\/p>\n<p>He then started emitting a long sound that confused the hell out of the show\u2019s hosts, its producers, and many of its listeners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is happening?\u201d asked Paulsen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry, I have a \u2018blow and go\u2019 in my car, I\u2019m a really responsible person,\u201d responded Chris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have a WHAT?\u201d asked Paulsen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA stun gun, what\u2019d you say?\u201d added Rouhier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a \u2018blow and go\u2019 in my car,\u201d the caller responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what that means, is that a DUI thing?\u201d asked Paulsen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh dear,\u201d added Rouhier.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Caller making Commanders point has to stop to blow into a DUI device.

IIDs measures a driver\u2019s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level and if the breath sample indicates its over the legal limit, the vehicle won\u2019t start.<\/p>\n<p>Chris actually provides a very in-depth explainer on how the system works, the random nature of the beeps, and the camera component that provides proof of who is actually blowing into the device. When asked what happens if he blows into the device and his BAC level is too high, he added \u201cI have not had that happen,\u201d leading to a round of applause from the radio studio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep it up,\u201d said Rouhier. \u201cGood answer, good answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We never did get Chris\u2019s full thoughts on Marshon Lattimore, sadly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You truly never know what will happen when someone calls into a sports radio program to make their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55889,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[18766,427,7,18767,6,18768,855,111,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-55888","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-106-7-the-fan","9":"tag-commanders","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-grant-and-danny","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-sports-radio","14":"tag-washington","15":"tag-washington-commanders","16":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114519941136427673","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
