want you to put your right foot in front like so touching Heel To Toe yep and then keep your arms down to your side and then stay like that until I've told you to begin the test okay all right so it's gonna be the walk-in turn test it's gonna be a series of nine steps out you're gonna take a serious small set completely turn nine steps back okay I'm gonna demonstrate it for you all right so same starting position as you right here one two three assuming it's your ninth step what you're gonna do is You're Gonna Leave It On The Ground as a pivot all right you're gonna take a serious small steps

and I'll get for you all right finish the testing oh okay sorry confidence some other wristbands just one person do you need me to do anything has she explained this to you at all so this is the PBT this is not an admissible aquarium thing like that just because it's a rough estimate to see where you're at tonight um it's totally voluntary if you don't want to take it you don't have to but if you want to it's going to help give us a close accurate uh reading of where you're at tonight is that something you're willing to do all right so whatever we do you want to take one big inhale through your nose and then we're gonna do is blow it through your mouth when you wrap your lips around that's okay all right you ready one big breath out okay keep blowing low hard low hard keep going keep going keep going keep going blow hard I'm gonna take out your mouth when you hear that sound that's beeping you want it to be a one long steady sound okay so when you hear it keep blowing as hard as you can okay all right in through your nose and then out through your mouth all right hello hard okay can you take like your lipstick off and stuff like that or your uh Vaseline or whatever's on your lips sometimes that interferes with a little bit yeah no worries all right you ready to try this one more time all right into your nose and then one big breath out okay hello don't suck hello hard you blow any harder than that okay are you biting it or anything like that um sorry okay a little hard okay I want to try one more it's not going we'll just try one more and then if it doesn't work it's
