Oh, man. Let's see. Kids got a lot of candy. And three of the. All three of the children hurt themselves falling down, tripping.

[B]

I gambled all night.

[A]

Mike's the Halloween Grinch.

[B]

No, we gambled. Yeah. Pocket sixes paid 250 bucks. Quad sixes paid a thousand. It was fun. Me and my wife spent Halloween gambling. You don't like that, do you?

[A]

No, I just. I don't gamble.

[B]

All right?

[D]

I spent there watching Billy Madison, so.

[B]

Billy Madison. So, Jack, for those who don't know who you are, you are part of the family. You are blood to us. Why don't you explain a little bit about who you are and how you ended up sitting in this chair right here?

[D]

Yeah, absolutely. My name is Jack Gerstmeier. I'm 23 years old. I was a law enforcement officer in Wisconsin for about two years back in April. I tried out for our local SWAT team and during the run I ended up losing my vision and started vomiting. Couldn't see, walk, couldn't walk. Straight vision came back and I ended up doing this SWAT tryout with vertigo the rest of the day. So shooting obstacle course, oral board interview. Was told, hey, we're not taking. You gotta work on your cardio. I'm like, okay. And went to the also not dying. Yeah.

[A]

Tryouts.

[B]

Work on that.

[D]

Yeah, also not dying.

[B]

He didn't tell everybody you're a type 1 diabetic already. You're already, you're already starting at a slight disadvantage. Slight. All right, continue.

[D]

So I ended up going to the doctor the next day, eye doctor. And they did an eye test and found out I had a hemorrhage in my right eye. So. Which raised a lot of concerns with the diabetes. They asked me to go do some eye doctor appointments, diabetes checkups. And then I had a primary care doctor visit the week after the tryout. And I went in, he's like, hey, everything looks good. Let's just grab blood work.

[B]

Good, keep talking.

[D]

You're good. Let's grab blood work. And I was like, hey, I gotta, I gotta get to work. We can make this quick and then just let me know what happens. End up working a 12 hour shift, work some overtime. Woke up on Saturday morning to 15 missed calls from my doctor saying that I had cancer.

[A]

Holy shit.

[D]

So that was not how I wanted to start a Saturday.

[B]

Damn it, you're dying over here, man.

[D]

I mean, it's 8:30 in the morning.

[B]

And I'm trying to sleep, man.

[C]

I was like, I got time to bleed.

[B]

So I imagine you had to shoot right to the hospital.

[D]

Yeah. So I had to quickly call into work. I was like, hey, I have cancer, I gotta go. So I get in trouble.

[B]

It was.

[D]

I got put down for two sick days.

[C]

So first.

[D]

But yeah, I went right to the hospital. And then I ended up spending in the entire month in a transplant unit. So I wasn't able to go outside. I wasn't able to really walk the halls. Visitors were kind of locked down. Everyone had to wear masks because I had no immune system. It was just an absolute mess. And that second day that I was at the hospital, they told me that if I didn't come in, I would have been dead in a month. So as like 23 year old, you're like, I'm invincible. Nothing's going to stop me. And you're like, oh, like life just stops.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

How old are you now?

[D]

23.

[A]

You're 23 years old. Mike's got kids older than you.

[B]

I have two kids older than him and no two kids older than him. One the same age.

[A]

You can call him dad.

[B]

He could pick a much better role model.

[A]

Hey, Lewis, go to the Instagram and go to the DMS from Sucker Free Sunday. And I want to play a video we just dropped. Also, Jerry, can you please accept the collab?

[B]

He doesn't know how to do that.

[A]

Should we go to your inbox?

[D]

I'll give him a call after.

[A]

Except, yeah, that one right there, that says cops on it. Let's watch that one.

[B]

All right, one sec.

[A]

This is in the Miami. This was the Miami show. Kind of breaking it down a little.

[B]

Bit, but I missed the camaraderie, and being involved in the podcast with counterculture has put my thumb back in it, and I. It just kind of validates some of the stuff I did, you know, when I was, you know, younger, back in the day. And we got a beautiful man here that I. I become contact with my friend Jack, and through Mike, Get a camera. Counterculture. This man here is fighting leukemia, and he says that I'm his inspiration to fight. And I would like to say, like, for all the memes, all the jokes, all the crude humor, this podcast and this counterculture movement, if anything, it brought this young man to this man who he looks up to. He's battling cancer. He lied to his doctors to even come here. Everything I did for 20 series of chops end up on that table or in that meme page. To make this happen to me is worth it. And we're going to hopefully bring people like this together and make this a more common event and start traveling throughout the nation to Los Angeles and other places like that.

[D]

Talking to Mike, I got diagnosed with leukemia, and I was like, hey, I got nothing to do. And I watched Mike's podcasts right religiously, and I reached out while I was stuck in the hospital. First thing I saw was a message back from him, and I was like, damn. I was like, that's.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

So I'm just.

[D]

I'm glad that I got to meet.

[C]

These guys through this tough time.

[A]

So I appreciate you guys. Jesus Christ.

[B]

I've seen pictures of this young man, bathroom floors, trying to just. Just find the strength. I've seen this man with a vest on running outside like that. That right there, that gives him any strength was worth, like I said, 23 years of hell, getting demoted. All the stuff that led me to this moment, talking about God this is, this was worth all of it. I, I, I mean, I love this dude, man. Like, this connection has been worth all of it. That's a great start to a Monday, huh?

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Everybody crying.

[D]

You know, I got these damn sunglasses.

[A]

I will say I did purposely crop you wipe in your eyes. Oh. So that was an emotional show.

[B]

That was like, I didn't drink. I was sober. I was sober as I'll get out. Last time I was gonna beat Reagan up in the first show. Like, this one was a very emotional, very good turnout. You got to meet Luis. I mean, that was awesome. Jerry came down. So for those who don't know, that's Jerry Worms, that first episode ever, a Cops that Jack has looked up to. And I found out a lot of young guys have looked up to that old school policing mentality and watched Jerry yell, shoot you in the back. And they're doing briefings with Jerry. Jerry's getting contacted to do, like, shift brief briefings, Motivational stuff. Yeah, dude. Like, right? Yeah. I guess the guy, the guys up in, I made the baseball card shirt that he was wearing in the video. And the guys in, I believe Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, put, made it into like a mural, like a huge poster of it in their locker room. And that, that is their inspiration every day going out the shift is the goat, Jerry Worm. So like I said, it was. It's all worth it, man. And that guy sums up the epitome of policing.

[A]

He's like the Godfather.

[B]

Yeah, he is. He is 100. Just doing the living the dream, man. Just him in the big radio and the nunchucks.

[C]

You guys should all been wearing sunglasses that day. Good.

[B]

Yeah, it was. That was rough.

[D]

That was a tough one.

[B]

I'm gonna skip through some of it because you did an episode with me. But part of my platform and talking is quickly talk. And I know you talk about how or the lack thereof support you saw having cancer.

[A]

They can go to your channel and see this, right?

[B]

Yeah, there's a whole episode. But I just want you to sum it up real quick.

[D]

So now that I've officially left, like, I can say my pie. So when I got diagnosed, I had a, I had a few people reach out on a personal level. The department itself, I didn't get anything back from as an entity. I had some friends on the fire department in the city that I worked for, and they actually started my GoFundMe for me. So the fire department put a lot of work in and donated a decent chunk of change to my GoFundMe. Which I greatly appreciated. But during my time, I didn't really get anything from anybody. Few friends that I stayed in touch with, but some of the people that I thought I was close with, I got nothing from.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And so there was a.

[B]

You wrote. And I'm. Can you flash the. I'm not gonna read it, but flash the letter up. I'm gonna put your letter up. Your address is removed. You don't end up on a dating site. But I want anybody to just mark the time. If you want to go back 1733 into the show, read this. This basically is Jack. You can take it down now. They can just pause it. This is Jack explaining to the police department in his own words what you wanted to do. Sign and not. You were going to be terminated.

[D]

Yeah. So I was going to get medically separated from the department for having cancer. For having cancer. And since I don't have any benefits at the time, it was just like, what the hell am I supposed to do? And I didn't want to go out on their terms. I wanted to go on my own terms.

[A]

What. What job in the world would terminate an employee for having.

[B]

Police. Police.

[A]

The police.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I mean, I want to say I.

[B]

Want to get a great career, the pension. But brotherhood.

[A]

I've heard of active duty military guys getting flack, like getting some pushback because it is the government. They're not trying to do spend all the money. By the end of the day, it's a little pushback, but they cover it. But to terminate somebody for getting cancer, you.

[B]

Yeah. So Jack wrote a letter. Jack wrote his resignation letter. That's what's on the screen there. And they wanted you to rewrite it, right?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

They asked for a one liner. Right? They wanted a one liner.

[D]

They wanted it to be more benign.

[B]

Yeah. They didn't want the truth.

[D]

I was like, hey, listen. Was like, at the end of the day, I'm still going to be respectful. I forgive you guys. But I'm going to tell you how it is and why I'm leaving. So they didn't question what was going on and why I left. So every question that they had was answered in that letter. And I thought it was the most professional way of doing it.

[E]

It was still getting my point across.

[B]

And that's how it should be. It's. You know, they don't want anybody reading that. They don't want anybody knowing that's on the record. And it's unfortunate that this happened, but God works in his ways. And here we are together and Absolutely. We drive forward together.

[D]

Absolutely. And I still had some. I still have some people from. I have like two or three guys that reach out from the apartment that I greatly appreciate. So if you guys are watching, I know you guys are watching. Thank you.

[B]

You know who you are, right?

[A]

They know who they are, right?

[B]

Absolutely. And the other guys know who they are as well.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Yep. That's all that needs to be said.

[A]

Turns out you can smoke meth and not get fired.

[B]

You can keep your job into that.

[A]

In a little bit.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Charities, we try to do some kind of charity every single episode and we have one. I gotta get to it. It's a. If I remember correctly, it's a SWAT medic's daughter in need.

[C]

Alright.

[A]

So I'm gonna send the gofundme to. Actually what I'm gonna do is. Mike, can you go into our inbox and there's a message from Darren Hole.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Can you send that GoFundMe link to Louis in the email and I'll read?

[B]

Yep.

[A]

So essentially you guys recently said you're always willing to either donate or help raise money for good causes. Recently our sister SWAT teams tac medics teenage daughter was diagnosed with leukemia a second time after beating it once the tacmed Jason is a paramedic by trade but sacrifices a significant amount of time and energy to not only our sister team, but to our team as well. And his daughter is nothing short of a miracle already we want to support their family as much as we can and hoping you guys could send to lend a hand on your platform. Thank you. Her name is Maddie, who has already faced so much with leukemia, is now battling it again and her family is overwhelmed by medical bills and travel costs. Every little bit helps. So please consider donating or sharing the GoFundMe link to support her during this tough time. So this one's for Maddie, the daughter of attack med that obviously spreads his time through being a paramedic and being attack med on not one but two SWAT teams. And his daughter is dealing with leukemia. Could not imagine. I think that I'm not trying to take anything away but as a grown ass man, probably the one thing I would think is worse than having leukemia is your kid having leukemia.

[D]

I could only imagine like what my parents felt like.

[F]

Dude.

[A]

What? Like what people would do to put themselves in your place.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

So you don't have to feel it.

[D]

Yeah, it's. It's horrible. And then the one thing that really sucks about leukemia, I know it's not.

[B]

Like a tumor just on It.

[D]

Tumor, cancer. But it's like, you can't see the progress when you're getting treatment. You get maybe a test once a month, and then you're. That whole month, you're guessing, like, hey, is the cancer getting worse? Is it getting better?

[C]

And there's no guessing.

[B]

I've talked to you many times where you're just like, they don't. They don't have any answer. No.

[D]

And your liver.

[B]

Your liver numbers are off now. Well, why is that? We don't know.

[D]

We don't know.

[B]

Come back.

[A]

It's 20, 25. We don't.

[B]

Yeah, we have no idea. But good luck. You know, like, you know, I'm driving here just, like I said, minor, minor things, and I'm like, on my mind. And this. This dude has to live with.

[A]

Jack, when you came in, you said, how things are. How are things going? Tyler and I went to go, dude, so stressful. And I'm like, lewis, that link come in yet for the GoFundMe?

[B]

Yeah, it's very slow. Yeah, it's. Try it. It was doing. Giving me the same problem.

[A]

Yeah, I was having some issues, too.

[B]

I finally got it to load, so I can send a screenshot of it.

[A]

I don't know if that's gonna help, but try that. Oh, there it is. Yeah, throw that on the screen. Sorry for making y' all wait, guys, but this is pretty important. Yeah. Oh, wrong.

[B]

Our producer, he was on time today, too. He was on time today, too.

[A]

Oh, man. Oh, boy. Oh, you gotta create a link.

[B]

No, let me just capture it. Interesting.

[A]

Is that it? Is it up?

[B]

Yep.

[A]

All right. That's it. That's the GoFundMe. We'll be donating after the show. We donate to every single. A lot of people sent to us. I mean, important when we. We will be going to four shows a week, probably sooner than later. And we will be trying to do every single GoFundMe. So obviously, our. Our contributions aren't going to be in the, you know, triple zeros, but not yet. But, yeah, not yet. But we will donate something to every single GoFundMe.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

So that's. That's Maddie, if you could, you know, tac, medic's daughter, SWAT boy, you know, he's going through it. She's going through. His family's going through it. You could show some love. Can't preach the worst thing in the world, your kid being sick.

[B]

Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.

[A]

All right, so the biggest reflection of the week, that's in bold. So this is first off, this Is my fault. This is my fault. 110%. I did not put conspiracy anywhere in there, Jimmy. So what happened was I made a reel about Jimmy mid conversations because that's what reels do. They're meant to be dramatic, drawing people. And. And essentially it did do its job. It was shared thousands of times or over a thousand times. I think it was liked almost without. Like it did its job as a real. But a lot of people were very upset because we hinted that it's a possibility. Yeah. That China could have lasered down two American aircraft over the South China Sea.

[B]

I didn't say that.

[C]

No. I said.

[A]

Well, Jimmy said.

[C]

I. I said, okay, guys, put on your tin foil hats.

[A]

The problem is, is I didn't front load that because I do think it's unethical to. Not unethical, but I.

[C]

It's a little disingenuous.

[A]

Yes. To. To chop things up out of timeline and make a clip out of it because then you. It starts going down a. A deeper. It's just not a good path to go down. So I try to keep everything chronologically and not swap anything. And Jimmy said, put on your tinfoil hats in the middle of the clip. These retards in the comments section didn't even. I don't even think they watched the whole clip. They just.

[B]

Instagram raging. No, no. Instagram's a. Just an argue fest.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They don't.

[A]

Like you said, they don't look at the replies.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

As soon as you. They see that you responded, they write the next thing they want. And they don't even read you. I mean, you could put the winning lottery numbers in there.

[C]

Getting slayed.

[A]

And.

[C]

And I was like. At first I was like, all right, you know, it is what it is. And then, you know, I had. What did you call him? Teemu.

[A]

Rick Ross.

[C]

Just.

[A]

That was the nicest thing I could have called.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, dude, I don't go in there, man.

[A]

And I think I went in there at some point like it was. So there's a mixture of people that are mad that they think it's clickbait, which it's not. And they also. There we still have a. A little nest of haters that like to pounce. And once. Once beta male, weak people see that others are jumping, they're gonna jump too, but no one would ever be the first one. Yeah. And so that's what it was. And so we're gonna correct you. We also have a. An analyst, I think is what they're called. He's got a huge YouTube page. He reached out to us and said, I disagree with you guys. You guys are wrong. And he's gonna come on Thursday remote.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Was that the verdict?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

He kind of threatened you. Kind of, like, low key. Threatened to put us on blast.

[B]

And I was, like, in line.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

We have men clipping us all the time and reposting us, dude. I still donate to those guys, too, even though they.

[A]

Who?

[B]

I'm not saying you donate to who? I donated to somebody who fucking trashed us, dude.

[A]

Why?

[B]

Because they have a friend that died, and I think, you know, it's like, this guy wants to be a piece of. His friend's not the problem. So kill him with kindness, man.

[C]

Yeah, but.

[A]

Yeah, so that's what we're gonna dive into. Jimmy did get this research from sources. Oh. And we're gonna talk. We're gonna let Jimmy go on a little bit of a rant on where he gets his info, because he doesn't just make this up.

[B]

I think he does.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So he made up the moon landing. Yeah.

[C]

That was the joke. Like, I mean, me and Mike kind.

[B]

Of switched places now we're reflecting still, right?

[C]

Oh.

[B]

Jimmy the Joe was late, right? Last week.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. He made it this week.

[C]

Yeah, I did make it.

[A]

No, no, no. Yeah, that was a typo on the Today.

[B]

Oh, no, I still need to talk about it. He's on time. Yeah, yeah, get him a sticker.

[C]

Yeah, dude, I. I rolled in. I, like, rolled freaking, you know, hungover, freaking, energy drink in hand, just like I was back in the E4 mafia.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Lewis on time today, right? Tell us what time's supposed to be here. 10:30. 10:30. Got here at 10:30. Interesting. Tell them about, like, right before the show started. Not even telling me, dude, what did he do?

[A]

At 10:59, Lewis goes, what do you say?

[B]

What did you say? Oh, no. Oh, no, no.

[A]

And I'm like, what? And he goes, jimmy's camera needs to be moved. You can't do that. Not at 10:59, dude.

[B]

Yeah, it was perfect. It was perfect.

[C]

If anybody watches the Chosen, Lewis is definitely.

[A]

What is that show?

[C]

Yeah, that's the one about the life of Jesus. He's. It's become, like a meme. It's not like season five. It's fantastic. If you're a believer, you should be watching that show, by the way.

[A]

All right. You're Jesus Lewis. Yeah.

[C]

No, you're not.

[A]

You're Jesus. Yeah.

[C]

No, you're not Jesus.

[D]

Matthew.

[C]

Matthew the character.

[A]

Matthew.

[C]

Yeah. So, all right.

[A]

So you sent the links to the email?

[C]

Yeah, I. I didn't send them to the email. I, I sent him.

[A]

We want everybody to be able to see what.

[C]

I will do that now.

[A]

Okay. Do you want me to talk while you do that?

[C]

Yeah, just give me.

[A]

Okay. In a sense, Jimmy comes with a lot of information to this show, but he has. Was it two or three sources that you.

[C]

I have. I have two big ones and then I have several, like, SMEs, subject matter experts that I will go to.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

A lot of things. Obviously, I don't need to do that with law enforcement because I have you.

[A]

Yeah. So I'm still retarded.

[B]

I don't know nothing.

[C]

But I, I. If I want to talk about or if I want to go deeper into. Let's say I want to know what's going on with maritime logistics.

[A]

Yeah, email it.

[B]

Yeah, I'm sorry. Damn, dog. Yeah, you shut them up, man. I asked for two or three sources.

[A]

And I got a soliloquy.

[C]

Yeah, dude, you're going to get one. Because I, I mean, I sat outside, dude, like, Jimmy was.

[A]

Jimmy was in the comments for, for this China shooting down. I don't. I mean, I labeled it something clickbaity too. I was like, China shoots down American aircraft or something, like. And it, like I said it served its purpose, but Jimmy was in there. I. And I'm so glad you went in there, Jamie, because the easiest way, if you don't. If we don't go in the comments and say stuff, people that run to the comments go, these guys must be lying because they're not rebuting anything. Rebutting. I can't.

[B]

I can't go in, man. I can't go in, dude. I'm so busy with this damn phone. It's. I don't know how you do it, dude.

[A]

I don't. I don't.

[B]

I'm saying with all the editing and all this stuff, man.

[A]

Yeah, it's.

[B]

I can't. Patreon.

[A]

Patreon.

[B]

I'm about to hit the Autobot in my.

[C]

Yeah, I could.

[A]

I can't keep up. If I can. If I. Patreon. We're pretty active. Even though Mike said he was gonna go live last night and didn't go live.

[C]

I will tonight, I promise. Lewis. The links should be in the email. So let me go back. I. I'm doing. I feel like the plate spinning, man, right now. I'm like, going to like five different places. So once you go ahead and pull those up, let's. Let's start with these right here. All right, so the first thing that we. I. I was told was that, oh, this is all fake news.

[A]

Right.

[C]

I mean, people are posting it, and I'm like. And they're like, where are your sources, bro? And I'm like, use the Google machine, dog. Well, here it is, the first one. Bring it up there, Lewis.

[B]

He's getting on that. He's working on it.

[C]

He's trying that. That's the second one. Yeah, that's the one I want right there.

[A]

All right, so what's to say? Confirmed by Navy, two aircraft from USS Nimitz went down at sea, barely halt. On an hour apart.

[B]

Half.

[A]

Half. Oh, yeah, Actually stop reading. With sunglasses. Yeah.

[C]

During routine maneuvers.

[B]

Why don't you let the guy read it who's got it? Right.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. So, confirmed by US Navy, two aircraft went down at sea barely half an hour apart during routine maneuvers. Trump attributes the two crashes to fuel problems or. Or lasers.

[A]

Lasers. Yeah.

[B]

With sharks. With lasers.

[C]

Right, right. So that happened. All right, we know that that happened. And I went to my sources on that to get more information.

[A]

Okay, so that's the. That's the origin of the information.

[C]

Right, right.

[A]

So that generalized source from a syndicated. You know. Hey, because first off, if you watch the show and trust the government, you're watching the wrong show. Yeah, yeah. So we read the information, and then we. Now, what if the government was lying to you?

[C]

Well, it was once I did that. I did my deep dive, right. And I'm reading about it. And you can't help but, like, you look at any place in the comments, you go to Reddit, you go to X the Artist formerly known as Twitter, you look on Instagram, all these places are like, talking about the conspiracy, right? And I'm like, okay, yeah. If you look at it that way and you go, you're not the first.

[A]

One to bring this up.

[C]

No, no. And that's why I was. I'm sitting there talking to you guys. I'm like, all right, now there's some. This is what some, you know, people have been saying. Okay, because. And, you know, and I said, hey, two airplanes go town. Trump goes to China, China makes a threat, and the. The tariffs get lowered, right? And people are going, see, China shot him down. That was a shot across the bow. And then two days later, Trump lowers the tariffs.

[B]

It's all there, right? And Gang's all there. For a good conspiracy, it's.

[C]

It's everything that you need. And why wouldn't we talk about it? So, I mean, because I mean we can have a good conversation about it. All right, we're all losing the sunglasses now. Oh my God.

[B]

Yeah, I can't.

[A]

Oh, you guys are.

[B]

You're the Robert O' Neill was talking about.

[A]

I'm the O.G.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I've been wearing sunglasses since episode two.

[B]

Yeah, dude.

[C]

So like, I mean, and the reason why we're all kind of like don't trust the government is because we all used to work for the government. We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two or two.

[B]

The local.

[A]

I'll tell you. Yes. As a Joe in the military. Right.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's 2000. It's the beginning of 2009. We're in JSS, Bella Diyat, a blown out military or Iraqi police building that they rebuilt. And we're trying to work with them to obviously leave Iraq. So we're working hand inand with the Iraqi National Police. Is that what they're.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

The ip, they wore the navy blue looking things and I. And so I'm in, I'm in my like bunk. No AC room full of 12 dudes. I'm reading Stars and Stripes and it says President Obama has just announced that all combat troops are out of Iraq.

[B]

You were sitting there.

[A]

I was sitting there. But here's the kicker. A couple nights prior, we started at the. At dusk or at dawn. Which one's in the morning?

[C]

Dawn.

[A]

Dawn. By dawn, all shut up. All of our trucks had to be covered up by these gigantic ass black military grade industrial tarps.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

I mean run them over the entire fleet.

[C]

Pull the wool over.

[A]

It took. It took a platoon of guys to do this to all, all the trucks. And we're like, why are we doing this? And we read that they wanted no visible evidence that we were still there. So the government lied to everyone. Not only do they lie to the American people, they lied to the troops and country.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They're like, oh, combat guys are out of Iraq. So of course there's. There's support guys still sitting in Iraq. And they're like, oh, all the infantry guys are gone.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Remember, remember they, they pulled. We were like not patrolling for like.

[A]

We couldn't patrol during the day.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

We could only go at night.

[C]

And, and we were on River City. Couldn't. Couldn't go on to the Internet. We couldn't go on to anything for like 72 hours.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It was gay. So are we allowed to.

[A]

Okay, so our goal is to end up on the radio one day. Are we allowed to say gay and.

[B]

Retarded no, no, no. I tried to tell you that.

[C]

No, I mean, Howard Stern has.

[B]

That's different. I told you, if you're going to the radio, we're gonna be over here like Sunday school, man.

[A]

No, we're not. Yeah, we won't do it then.

[B]

Yeah, we won't do it.

[C]

Pat McAfee said the same thing. Look at now he works for the.

[A]

Mouse, but he doesn't. He didn't have to tone down a show, did he?

[C]

A little bit.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

He had to stop dropping the F bomb.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, well, we'll have it.

[B]

Can't make memes, dude.

[C]

This is so. I mean, I wanna. I wanna take the opportunity, though, since I have it, to kind of tell everybody, hey, this is where I get my info from. And if you want the same info I have, you should absolutely be going to these people.

[B]

So you should be coming here.

[C]

Well, I mean, yeah, but there's Mondays and Thursdays. You should be coming here Mondays and Thursdays. But you should also be doing this for yourselves. All right, so when I go through everything. So the first two that I go to are Forward observer and S2 Underground, and they're. They will give you information very, very quickly. S2 Underground can do it really snappy. Takes like seven minutes. But forward observer, they're a little bit more in depth. You can actually pay their patreon, so you can even get even more information. And then I have to go to SMEs, Right. So if a plane goes down that belong to the U.S. navy, well, then there's. There's a couple of really reputable sources that I go to. One of them is Ward Carroll. He was an F14 Tomcat reel. He was basically Goose, all right. And he has a. He has admirals that come on his show. He said a subject matter expert he can talk about, like, hey, this is what fuel is. Like, this is. This is probably the problem. And so those are the kinds of things that I do. And I can even go even further. And, like, I'm looking at Puran, who is like, two hours of deep dive into operational and strategic theory on what's going on in Ukraine.

[B]

And the problem is nobody wants to do that. Nobody wants to do. And it's as simple as now with AI and everything you see, you can make a complete AI reel that is obviously AI and you will watch 90 of the population argue about it. Yeah. As if it's real. Instead of just doing this. So instead of just doing the research and feel it. Figuring out it's not.

[C]

And so I Will probably. I mean, I. On the way here today, I spent the entire three hour drive going through and getting things for the day.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Because I know that most of the guys over here are not doing that and they're not nerds like me. I am a nerd.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

That's my job. So I have to take three or four hours of work, condense it into 15 minutes, make something snappy, and then give it to you guys. Yeah, snappy.

[A]

I understand that word. Usually he drops about one.

[B]

No, that's two snappies. Yeah, those are easy for me. Yeah, yeah. Okay. No soliloquy, no.

[C]

Reciprocity.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So you're doing research and reporting accurate news.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that's weird.

[C]

And I have vetted and. And here's the thing. You know who I don't go to? The legacy media. I don't go to ap, I don't go to cnn. I don't go to Fox News. If you want to get your information from those people.

[B]

You mean the media lies?

[C]

Oh, they. No, but here's. And here's the most important part. Mike Tomlin, the football coach, he says all the time, the standard is the standard.

[A]

Right.

[C]

It applies to everybody. And you have to be prepared to put the same product on the field every single day. I have a standard that I get held to. It's Mike and Tyler that hold me to a standard. If I'm wrong, they're gonna be like, they're gonna slay me.

[A]

You know me, I'm all about. My mics are serious. Not serious guy. I'm like, but did it get views?

[B]

You can lie if the microphone's not in the right place or you're grabbing the wrong thing or you change a password. Forget it. Yeah, you can make up everything else, but you want.

[C]

So, like, I actually have somebody, unlike the legacy media, that's going to go, hey, man, where did you get your info from?

[E]

What?

[C]

And you know what's going on here? Is it true? Is it not? You know who doesn't have that? The motherfuckers that are on the legacy media. They don't care. So if you're going there and going well, CNN said, you know, Trump is the reason the government got shut down. Well, okay, I guess you didn't pay attention to fucking civics class because that's not how that works. And so like, oh, God.

[B]

Well, they've proved over and over and over again they can say anything. It can be a lie and people will believe it. And that's kind of what we're running like in my platform, what I run into is administrations are doing the wildest things and they just say it's not happening. And then nobody wants to dive in. It's not happening. And everybody's like, okay, it's not happening. Oh, look, we're doing Trunk or Treat. Look at all the cops to run around with the people. And that place must be great. Well, it's not great. And they're just lying, cheating and stealing. And if it's at that local level, which I'm very disappointed in Florida, everybody gives us all these props for these squared away agencies and all this great stuff. There's some stories getting ready to break about several agencies that are just. It's unfortunate that administrations are working. Hillsboro county, there's a Marion county story that's coming.

[C]

Really Marion county, that's not going to.

[B]

Break it, but there's some drama there. And what you're seeing now is this. These generations of leaders who have made it through that are entitled. And now they're. The corruption and the level of what you will see. It's. It's corruption.

[C]

It was Jerry, we had last, last Thursday, right?

[B]

Jason.

[C]

Jason, Jason. Dude, I was talking to him, man, and you know, I, I asked him, you know, like, what's the issue? And he goes, it's the same thing that happened to the military. All of the guys with all of the institutional knowledge left. And you've got, you know, sergeants who have been working for, you know, six years, and they don't have anybody that has been working for more than one or two underneath.

[B]

Well, that here. And people refuse to be transparent about themselves. That's why you look at a guy like Jay. Oh, he's a criminal. Well, he's honest right up front. He lays it. He doesn't hide. All these leaders and people in law enforcement leadership are lying about what they've done, what kind of people they are, and they have to constantly lie because they're terrible people where you can say whatever you want about me. Here's what I've done, here's the things I can do. And it's all out there. You don't like me, don't like me. But I'm not going to play like I'm some angel, right, and lead everybody as if I'm an angel when I have nothing but skeletons in my closet.

[C]

Who was the guy? The police officer. He had been shot and was involved in. He was involved in three shootings. Oh, that was that Jerry, right?

[B]

No, the guy was here. Yeah, that's Gary.

[C]

Gary Gary.

[F]

Gary.

[A]

Jason.

[B]

Gary Windheim.

[C]

We got Jack. I mean, I'm Jim, and this is my.

[B]

That was Gary.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And he was high up. We had Lance the week before, who was also high up.

[C]

Yeah, they're. And they're. Yeah.

[B]

Both in the same problem. Both dealing with the same issues.

[C]

So, you know, the one thing that I have going for me is that I'm trying to take this crazy. Go to an actual reputable source, condense it down into 15 minutes, and make it. It interesting. If you want to know more, go find out for yourself. Don't. Don't come to me and say which people were like, hey, cite your sources. Well, here you go. I can use Google. I don't know why you can't. So you clip that?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But. Yeah. So, Jimmy, you got all of it out of the way because you said you wanted to talk about.

[C]

I. I'm. I've got a. I've got a whole speech where.

[A]

Let's go.

[C]

No, I mean, like, I'm going get.

[B]

Clint on the phone.

[C]

No.

[B]

All right.

[C]

I'm going to make a video.

[A]

Oh, you're gonna do your own reel?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Oh, and Tyler would ask if it's AI, because when he shits on it.

[C]

He'Ll say, yeah, this is just my, like, hey, like, I'm giving you something small. Here's the bullets, here's what's coming. I'm gonna go through everything and exactly how I do it, exactly why I do it, and give you the opportunities, because some of these places, like, you know, S2 Underground and Ford observer, we should be working with them. And I want us to. Made a career.

[B]

I made a lifetime out of giving something small.

[A]

All right, so Mike. Mike didn't. He didn't really take a jab at me, but he. A little bit did. So I asked Mike a little bit AI to make. Let's promote your show. Mike.

[B]

Go ahead. Go ahead.

[A]

All right, so this is if.

[B]

Go ahead.

[A]

I love my.

[B]

You're an expert. This is, like, on a guy that doesn't, like, I can't play a guitar. I will never be able to play a guitar. I can't rollerblade. But yes. So I'm. I'm competing with the guy who I make. Yeah, you can play. I make this real. And then he sends me the one of Jack right after, and I'm like.

[A]

Okay, I didn't mean it like that.

[B]

Oh, you did. You didn't mean it. But you. It was. The message was received.

[A]

If your dad made a reel and said, what do you Think of this. All right, let's go to the. Just go to the inbox and go to. It's probably Cotville.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

No, I think. I don't know. You have to go. I post on my page.

[C]

Just go to my page.

[A]

Go to Instagram. I mean, but if you post, it's not terrible.

[E]

It's not.

[A]

It's good, Mike. It's good.

[B]

Good.

[C]

Go to.

[A]

Yeah, right there.

[B]

The one in the middle.

[A]

One in the middle.

[B]

Right there.

[A]

Let's watch this.

[B]

This is made by me instead of being live on Patreon. I sat in my bed. It took me about 35 minutes. And, hey, I can paste. I can cut out shapes and paste them to the wall. Like, they may not be squ. Well, but go ahead. Go ahead.

[A]

Are you ready?

[B]

It's not terrible. Look at that cop bill. Jason still got the captions from. Yeah. Me with da booking photo. That's good, right? Me and him together. It kind of goes with the music. It's moving with the music. Look at that.

[A]

I'm trying to read the caption.

[B]

No, you don't want to read it. You can't read it. I spelled his name wrong the first time. I fixed it. That's like, when the kid walks up to you, he's like, let me show you a trick, and he does, like, a jump spin. Because then after I sent Tyler that and like, three seconds later, I got back back to professional studio. Jerry worms, Jack reel.

Drama and leukemia on the anti hero broadcast.

[C]

Oh my God.

[A]

And taking advantage of someone who's really.

[C]

Sick and, and for views.

[B]

Yeah, I would rather watch that. That's like TNA total non stop action wrestling versus like these guys that hit piece us with their fake professional.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, I mean we, we've still got to have another argument about the moon landing just to do it.

[A]

There is no, there's an argument I don't know how to do. It's kind of like jfk. There's no. Once everybody lays their piece down, that's it. There's so. It was so long ago. There's nothing else coming out and if it does, you have to question it. Yeah, like the JFK thing we watched and broke down. I'm like, has that never been viewed or you know, everybody.

[B]

I saw another version of that same video where they. They took a tree. They took a tree out of the video. Yeah. As it's going by, they say the tree trunk is missing. So that way it was edited. I don't put nothing past the government back then, dude.

[C]

Dude, I don't put nothing past the government today. I don't get. I mean, I'm.

[B]

Dude, I'm wor. I'm. I'm a government.

[A]

It's getting worse for me to. AI. To make distrust and everything.

[B]

I mean, they probably had it all.

[C]

The time for the. The last three elections. It was like, I don't care if a turnip runs against this person. I'm voting for the goddamn turnip.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Over this person.

[B]

Yeah. Then that person wins by 400, 000 votes that appear in 3am oh, my God. Big election tomorrow in Jersey.

[C]

That's where I was going.

[B]

Republican governor needs to win and New York City close. Yeah.

[A]

Which one's the one you guys are saying is doom?

[B]

New York, New York. Yeah. That's the.

[C]

That's the socialist. Freaking socialist.

[B]

He's a lot. I mean, a liar, too. What, you can't bench 135 either.

[A]

Don't come Florida. But, God, there needs to be another state between us and New York. That's. People flock to. I'm sick of.

[C]

Oh, God, Jack.

[B]

I don't know how to spell it. Citarelli. Seattarelli is running. C I, A, T, T, A, R, E, L, L, I. That's the governor running for New Jersey. That's who we need to vote for.

[C]

If you're up there and get your ass out there. Unless you want to be communist fans.

[B]

Defund. Oh, the jets are bad. The Giants lost again yesterday. Dude, it's miserable.

[A]

It sucks up in the northeast.

[C]

Oh, I bet. I was talking about football.

[B]

Should we talk about that?

[A]

We should. And I was gonna bring this. And I mean, I want to know what you guys think. I want to know what Mike thinks and Jimmy think. I know Jimmy's kind of on board with the idea. It was actually Jimmy's idea is sports. But we bring in canine on Monday mornings to talk about. Because he goes live. Canine goes live on counterculture at Monday night at 7 before the game. So kind of having like a Monday morning coming in and just kind of like, real quick, give us a sports recap, you know?

[B]

Yes. And I want to start Sundays.

[A]

Yeah, you're gonna.

[B]

I want to start Sundays right before the. Just seasonal for football season run for.

[A]

Eight weeks and be Dead.

[B]

No, it's not. Just like every other podcast about football, they don't. What do they do? Like, they go to the stadiums. They don't go sit out the stadium. Every. When it's no football season, they stop doing it. You run it during football season every Sunday morning. Picks, locks, bets, podcast.

[A]

Probably talks in the off season, too. Yeah, well, I mean, the whole industry of fantasy football.

[B]

No, they don't do college game day on Saturdays in the middle of summer when there's no college football. They don't do it.

[A]

I didn't say college pro.

[B]

They don't do the same thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So this is.

[A]

What about every NFL? Let me cut you off. What about every NFL?

[B]

They disappear.

[A]

Channel on Sirius XML Golf for the winner when.

[C]

Once this. The end, once the super bowl is over, then you've got who's going where, who's going to get signed, who's going to get fired. Because normally, right when the season ends, you got a bunch of coaches getting fired, you got a bunch of people that are coming in, who they're bringing. I mean, like Mike McDaniels down there and the Dolphins. He's probably out.

[B]

I mean, he just fired the general manager.

[C]

He crashed out on the field Thursday night.

[B]

He kept his job.

[C]

Yeah, well, he's got it.

[A]

What'd he do?

[C]

He. The team sucks. I mean, they're getting blown the out. So, I mean. And I mean, like, dude, he was like, he went into a. A press conference and it was like, is this dude on blow right now? Like, what in the.

[B]

He's a weird dude.

[C]

He is. He's a weird and not a football guy. I mean, like, you look at this.

[B]

Dude and his dress is weird, his pants are weird.

[C]

Like, how do these professional athletes, you know, even look up to this dude? I understand if you're like, Mike Frable, who, like, is 60 years old, put the pads on and go out there and smack you.

[B]

Or the guy from Detroit.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, that's Dan Campbell.

[B]

Yeah, he's a monster.

[C]

He. Talk about a passionate dude. But so then once, once the. All the coaches move around, then you've got like, okay, what players are going where. Okay, now we're getting ready for the draft. Okay, now we got the draft. All right, now it's.

[B]

Yeah, we would kick the season back. It would be like just like baseball players, the season's over, they don't go play baseball. They go home and they relax. So for this off season, about a month before the season, you kick the show back up, gain some traction, you start Talking about fantasy drafts, what's going on in the NFL. You run a show every Sunday morning, like 11:30. Talk about the bets. Just bet against me. You're gonna make big money because everything I bet on Sunday lost.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So you bet again and then at the end you do like a post week show and offer like three or four months and then you come back. Simple. Yeah, I think it's great.

[A]

There's a lot that goes into creating a show and then to have it be done in eight weeks and then never touched again.

[B]

Eight weeks is seven. The season is 17 weeks. 18 weeks. With the playo, it's like 20 weeks.

[A]

What week are we in right now?

[D]

Eight.

[B]

Yeah. With this season, unless you want to wait and just it, we got 10 weeks left.

[A]

Sorry. Not eight, 10 weeks.

[B]

So you start it and then in the off season, you know, know I'm on nine other shows. Nobody likes me.

[C]

I, I, the other thing too is, I mean, you could also cover it from the standpoint of professional athletes and their stuff with law enforcement.

[B]

Yeah, I guess we could. I could still do the Sunday like, you know, once. Because there's that dead part of the season though. There's a dead part of like everything.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Come now, before the super bowl, like right after the super bowl and you have no football, no baseball. There's like that gap of all you have is hockey. Yeah. There's hockey. That's wrapping up.

[C]

Dude, hockey, Hockey lasts forever.

[B]

I feel hockey is amazing.

[D]

If I'm watching any sports, I'm watching.

[A]

I feel like. Did anybody else not feel like the NBA lasts?

[B]

I haven't seen one game yet.

[C]

Dude, the NBA at this point is NBA, TNT, dude, they have on Bird and Magic and, and MJ's Legacy. Their viewership's down like 47.

[B]

All they do is run down and shoot. There's no, you can't touch anybody. You can't.

[D]

It's like hockey, you got, the puck's always moving.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

People are fighting.

[B]

Playoff hockey. The most exciting thing on Earth. Earth that the World cup, you get into World cup soccer, there's like games at the end where they're. Do they have to win? Yeah, those guys run like 19 mile or like 9, 10, 12 miles a game. Yeah. In a hockey match, like one guy will run like they'll track them like nine miles. Yeah. But that playoff hockey, you get like double overtime and playoff games.

[C]

We have, we have the war between the Lightning and the Panthers where like go you. I'm from Tampa, so I'm doing like.

[B]

Back to back no, no, they lost it.

[C]

No, we. We did go back.

[A]

Back.

[C]

No, that was but four years. Yeah. And then the Panthers. I mean, last two years. Florida's a hockey state. I don't give a. What it is.

[A]

There's three hockey teams here.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It's a college football.

[D]

Did you hear about the stadium they.

[C]

Have at New Year's?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Where they're playing at Lone Depot. It's the. It's the Panthers versus the Rangers.

[A]

They're playing what?

[D]

They're playing at the Marlin Stadium. They're playing in the baseball field.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

Man, I gotta ask questions.

[B]

No Rollerblades.

[C]

They're going to play field hockey.

[A]

What? Wrap it up with this. I was talking to my son in the car. Is the NFL. Is the NFL trying this whole playing over in Europe over in the season to see how it takes.

[B]

They've not been two years. They're just expanding. Used to just be London and now they're in Germany.

[A]

Because people are. The only reason why they don't like it is because the games are on during the business day and no one can watch them.

[B]

Well, there they all show up. It starts at 9:00am here usually.

[A]

Yeah. Everybody's at work.

[B]

Well, right.

[C]

Sunday.

[B]

So the west coast people are in bed because it's like 6am we're at 9am Most of us are just. But they're rolling out of our beds over there. It's night time.

[C]

Shake the hangover off.

[A]

They've been doing that for years.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They started years ago, but it was like one game a year. Now you got four or five. Yeah.

[C]

And the team, like the cold.

[B]

The Colts play.

[A]

Oh, can you imagine that? Yeah. Because I'm going across the Atlantic Ocean.

[B]

A lot of them try to bounce it around, though. A long week. Like a bye week or when they play Thursday, the week after. So they have a couple extra days.

[D]

Did they play in Mexico too?

[C]

I think. Was. It was Brazil.

[B]

Was it Brazil? Mexico.

[C]

Right. I think they. Because the Chiefs went down there this next week.

[B]

I think the Colts are in Germany with somebody. Yeah, somebody bad too.

[C]

Somebody with a mustache.

[B]

Colts got exposed yesterday.

[A]

You're like.

[C]

You're like Germany with somebody bad.

[B]

Venezuelan painter.

[A]

We're. We're staying on top of this Venezuelan drug cartel boat thing because apparently nobody else wants to cover it.

[C]

Oh, I. I got info.

[A]

Jimmy's got the info on that. So, again, if you haven't been watching or you don't know what we're talking about. Venezuelan drug cartels have been trying to push Narcotics into the United States forever. All right, we got corrected by that. This has been going on since the age of drugs. Okay, I get it. But right now know our government is sinking them with missiles. So.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

So take us away, Jimmy.

[C]

So we started out, this has been going on down in the southcom. Ar that for those of you that don't know the world's divided up into theaters. South Comm is for South America. It stands for South America Command.

[A]

Right.

[C]

You have Indo Paycom, which is the Indo Pacific. You have centcom, which is where we go fight in the desert. So Southcom has.

[A]

So calm.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Navy Seal.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Your PlayStation 2 first.

[C]

Yeah. So South Southcom was. They started out about. I guess it was about 47 days ago. They started out like sinking one boat a week, right. With a Hellfire. Last week they sunk eight. They had 18 KIAs and one enemy prisoner. That's that. That was in a week.

[A]

Are they giving warnings to any of these people or they just. How do you prove it?

[B]

So we're gonna shoot you.

[C]

I mean like the US government. Our buddy Conservative who's in the podcast, we actually used it.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It'S a weapon.

[B]

We're gonna give you distractionary strikes if you don't drop your fishing pole.

[C]

He was coming right at it.

[A]

Distractionary missiles.

[B]

C130 was 30, 000ft up. AC130, but it was. They felt danger, they were in fear.

[C]

So our boy, Conservative Chocolate, right. He's in the. He's in the comments right now. I had a two hour conversation with him. We've used a couple of his videos. One of him, me and him, had a conversation about where it looks like the boat is stopped and it doesn't look like there's anybody in it, and it's just boom and it's gone.

[A]

So what's your point?

[C]

So you asked a question. Are we giving any warning?

[A]

No. Oh, yeah.

[C]

That was you.

[A]

No, I. It is, but when you brought that up before, I don't know what the point is when you're saying like, it looked empty every time. What are you saying with that?

[C]

So to me, it looks like there may have got either been some warning or they were like buzzed with a drone. Like, hey, dudes. Oh, we're about to smoke.

[A]

Get off the boat.

[B]

Yeah, get off the boat.

[C]

So, like, but it. 18 Kias and one EPW, and in eight in five days and eight strikes with hellfire.

[A]

Now this is verified, right?

[C]

Oh, yeah, this is.

[A]

All right. What's. What's. What's. We don't have to put it on the screen yet until somebody freaks out next week. What, what's your source?

[C]

Can you. So that source right there came from Ford Observer. I actually played it back twice. Now they have their sources that you can go look at. So that's where I got that information board, Observer.

[A]

Is that just a.

[C]

That's another YouTube channel.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And they, they are. Most of them are former military intelligence guys. And that. So they give you the briefing in very much a. You know, like if you were getting the opsets help brief for the command of staff meeting.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Like, hey, this is what's going on in the theater right now. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. And then, you know, if you want to dig down deeper, you can. Here's the sources. So they also talked about the, the ICE bounty hunting thing, which Mike has. So.

[A]

Yeah. Is that a good transition? You got it. Yeah.

[B]

I mean, yeah, I just basically put out a memo that was. I guess it was leaked there, but somebody sent it to me where they're basically going to start hiring like bounty hunters to drag people in for immigration.

[A]

Which is smart because that's the same idea as just contracting. If it goes awry. Is that the right word? Yeah, if it goes awry. All right. Damn it.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

It is awry. He's with you.

[A]

If it goes awry, they can say, oh, that was those stupid bounty hunters. That wasn't ice.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Because these things are going to start. Ice, I think, has. My opinion is that ICE is now done getting the freebies. The ones that are not going to put up gunfights. They've gotten. They're. They've been for what, a year and they've just been catching, catching, catching.

[C]

They just did a big raid here in Florida on a, on a construction site and there's. I wish I could find the video, but you can see dudes running for their lives out the backside of the construction site. And as ICE is coming in it.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So, yeah, I think that we're. They're done. I mean, if you're going to get the guys on the job site and you're not getting the guys that are.

[B]

Gonna bet they're like, this is a vetting system. Like, they're basically saying, are there people out there that can meet these qualifications, submit like a application to ice?

[A]

Do they take hand tattoos?

[B]

Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, but yeah, they're basically looking for like mercenaries to have.

[A]

They want. It's just the classic government. They want a little amount of. When it Starts getting really dirty. They want as little to do with it as possible.

[C]

I mean, let me, let me ask.

[A]

They could say we sanctioned it, but we weren't there.

[C]

Let me ask the panel of, of law enforcement. Between the three of you guys. We've got what, on like 40 years of experience on the job, right? If you're a cop and. Yeah, yeah, it's roughly 40 years if you're a cop. And you, so you, you get a call for service, whatever it is that you guys do, and you've got a bounty hunter trying to take somebody into custody. What are, what the are you gonna do?

[A]

That's gonna get sketchy because they, they've been trying to separate local law enforcement from ICE operations already. And it's getting to the point, I know ICE is federal law enforcement, but we are getting to the point where now this is becoming a hybrid of like a mixture of like fugitive style stuff, which is still law enforcement, but ice, I mean, it, it's. We're not there for a law enforcement reason. So a gunfight with local pd. If I'm at your house and you start firing at the door, we kill you. Well, we were there legally, like o. You know, every ICE going in and saying, you're coming with us, and it's a gunfight. I don't know.

[B]

And, and people would, I don't think people realize is when you get into like bondsmen, bounty hunting, all that stuff, there's a lot of things that they have the right to do that cops don't like. Bondsmen can. When you, when you bond out of jail, that you sign your life to that bondsman, they can kick the door and they can point a gun at you. They can whatever.

[A]

They want to know those laws.

[B]

They don't know.

[A]

And I've had it one time where I kept getting a phone call from this guy. He's like, I'm on foot with, you know, so. And so. And I knew the guy and I'm. He got a warrant. He's like, no, he doesn't have a warrant, but he, he's gonna have a warrant.

[B]

Surrender. He's surrendering. And I'm like, his bond.

[A]

I'm like, I can't help you, dude. I constitutionally cannot go detain this guy if he doesn't have a bench war. I can't. But this bounty hunter Ken, or this fugitive, what do they call them? Bounty hunters? What is it?

[B]

Well, that's a bondsman, like a bond. Yeah, like they have the, yeah, they have the right to detain anybody that they're out. They have out on bond and they can kick the door in. They can go in.

[C]

Didn't.

[B]

You can help them. But there's.

[A]

It's.

[B]

It goes with the policy.

[A]

Standby.

[B]

Yeah, it goes with the policy. I've surrounded houses and said, go ahead and do whatever you want to do. Him out. And he's there. The bondsman can hand you the surrender form with the body and then you can transport him.

[C]

So are we all going to become ice bounty hunters and live stream it?

[B]

No, no, no, dude, I. I'm a.

[C]

Big advocate that you win all the gun fights you don't get into. That is a happen.

[A]

Mike wants to sit on his couch, play poker and forget.

[B]

Come on, man.

[C]

You used to love doing that. Jump out.

[A]

I heard.

[C]

I heard those stories. I'm done, man.

[B]

Man, I. I enjoyed it. It was fun while it lasted. But there is no. There's not a check with enough zeros at the end of it for me to go back to that.

[C]

What about you, Jack?

[A]

Would you go do that?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, he's still young. No, he's still got it. I mean, don't let. He'll. He don't. I won't allow Jack to be influenced by mine and Mike's cynicism, you know, negativity.

[B]

We need good cops like Jack out there.

[A]

Jack is going to. Once. Once everything goes good for you and everything's over, I guarantee you're going to be like, babe.

[B]

Even. Even like, poor Sal, like, he still wants to be a cop after everything he's been through.

[D]

And it sucks too, because, like, Sal's younger too. Like, I am. Like, you put your. You put your, you know, two years, you go your schooling, get your associates, and you're like, this is all I want to do and I don't know.

[C]

What else to do.

[D]

And then it's taken away and you're like, what the am I supposed to do? I don't know what to do with myself.

[B]

Yeah, I get it. Like, at that age, in that part of my career, you. I would. I would have worked for free. I just wanted to go to work. I wanted to go to work, chase bad guys, do that stuff. I enjoyed it. But now I look back and I'm like, nope.

[C]

Did I?

[B]

Nope.

[C]

I. I loved. I loved being in the infantry. I loved it. And I did not know what I was going to do with myself when I got out, but I had to get out. I mean, it was like, dude, the. The. Everything was changing. I mean, you were there in the 2010, 2011, when we had like everything in the army was changing.

[A]

I wanted out. I want to ruined everything.

[C]

I wanted out. So I mean, I loved being a grunt and I wanted out so bad. And when I finally got out, I was like, all I could think about was clearing. I'm getting out. I didn't get one thought to like, what the do I do now?

[A]

Yeah, a young man's game, though. But when you get reliant on the paycheck, that's this, that's the scary part. And the Mike talks about all the time is that, you know, guys with families and kids and mouths to feed and mortgages and bills, you know, the. There's a word for it and I'm. Everybody made fun because I don't know it. But having the audacity to go it. I'm not doing it because I believe in something and this goes against my beliefs.

[B]

Yeah, well, here's the other thing, guys, they Pension, pension, pension, pension. Not one of those young guys can tell you what their actual number is or what they're gonna.

[A]

I just found out mine and I was 10 years in.

[B]

So even at 20, like there are guys that I know retirement, retired recently that are all work. They're all working at Home Depot. They cannot, they cannot live off their. Now the new wave of high salaries, but the cost of living is there. So even for me at 20 years, it was, it was 60% of my best five. For the new people after July, I think it's 2012. July, October 1, 2012. July 1, 2012, it went to eight years. So you, they take your best eight years in Florida, Florida retirement, they average them out to a number. And if at 25 years, you get 75% of your best a year average, now you can keep going, you can keep adding on, do the drop and all that. But now you, if you started at 20, 21, now you're, you know, you're at 50 and now you're going and going and going. But I want you. So here's, here's, my, here's, here's the math. I'm not very smart. If you're barely making out a hundred percent of your salary, you're barely making it on a hundred percent of your salary. When you get that pension, you're only getting 75 of your salary. So where does all the money come from that you.

[A]

It's what they're doing.

[B]

You don't have to work.

[A]

What they're doing now is they're doing secondary last 10, 15 years, they're doing secondary retirements that you're having to pay. You better.

[B]

You better because you're getting at best now you keep going. If you don't enter the drop program, you get another 3%. So now you're at 78. Then you're at. It keeps going up 81. But now you're working. But when you click good night and you hit the button, you're now reduced when you die. No, that part's easy. That's easy. Yeah, that's easy. But when you say I'm retired 75%, your health care is not free. So now you have to pay for health care for you and your family. And it's taxed. So your 75% retirement is taxed at regular government rate. Plus you have to have health insurance. And if you want your spouse to have it when you do die three years after you retire, then they take like another three, 400amonth out. So now you're 75% is you're making half your money. You're retiring at 25 years, making half of what you used to make. And there's no extra duty. There's no extra duty details to pick up.

[A]

Here's the other thing too, man. Any industry, any job you get into in the private sector, you can always evolve. Sometimes you might be working for a company with a great retirement. Sometimes you might have your own 401k, but you can always evolve and say, I don't really like doing this, but my business experience has allowed me to or my working experience has allowed me to get the. The resume to go apply for this job. And this job pays me on, is really fun. And then I get sick. Once you decide law enforcement is not for me and you're 10 years in, it's not too late. But you, you get out. I can tell you right now, your retirement is in the six figures already. I can. I can. Like I said, I found you have.

[B]

This blew me away.

[A]

Mike. I'm just going to be very transparent and my wife will text me if I need to stop talking. I finally went and looked at because I never cared. Like you said, I had nine years in the job. I never once looked at, cared about retirement. Went and got my second first looked at my secondary retirement. I was like, holy, I got this much money in here. Cool. Wasn't in the six figures. What's. What's six figures? Millions.

[C]

No, that's thousands.

[A]

Wait, a hundred thousand.

[C]

Yeah, okay.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Wasn't in the six figures.

[A]

Went. Looked at my actual state retirement, that money will literally get You a new line of education, a new internship, a new college degree and more, way more. And you can use that money to start over. I'm telling you guys, if you got 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 years in a retirement, look at how much money you got. You're not stuck.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, I'll tell mine I took the pension route, but I. At 20 years without going to full retirement, I was at half a million dollars if I just cashed it. But now, remember, if I cash it, I got to live off that half a million dollars the rest of my life. I got to manage the money. I was estimated to be at 25 over a million, but that's cash. Here you go. Manage it, figure it out, Pay your taxes, do whatever you want. Or you take the pension side. So the pension's obviously guaranteed, but you pay taxes on it. So. But guys don't realize how penalized that really is.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you got guys working double, you know, guys working 130, 140 hours of paycheck check to get all that overtime in. And they're like, yeah, man, I got this cool truck and I got this. Well, what happens when your pension is now 75? There is no extra duty. You're gonna go work at, pick up another job. Yeah. So all these guys that say pension, I don't want to speak up because the pension, I'm too scared. I have to have a pension and a paycheck. Bro, when you retire 25 years, you're gonna have to keep working.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Your career.

[B]

You're in the wrong business if you think at 25 years as a cop, unless you get all the way to the top, you're not going to have to work. I want watch. I walk through Home Depot every day. All the dudes that started when I started that retired after, like before, you know, halfway through my career, they're all working another job.

[A]

You're not going to see the grandkids like you thought you would.

[C]

You're not going out on your boat.

[A]

I just said you're not on the boat that you dreamed about. You are working.

[B]

Unless you're being smart with your money, secondary retirement, investing it, you are going to work until the day you die. After all this stress.

[A]

What we're not. And I'm saying that that's not just police work. That's just, Just life right now in general, and that's fine. But do something you love.

[B]

Well, you can work 60 some years, you can work to your 60, 65 in a. You can work, you can work to your 60. If you have a decent, like, office job, it's not terrible. This job, that job is not it.

[A]

Mentally and physically, I was done.

[B]

Dude.

[C]

That.

[B]

That decompression of the.

[A]

The day, you know, you're done, you're done. There's no.

[B]

I mean, sure.

[A]

For you.

[B]

What? You have two years.

[D]

Two years.

[B]

Yeah. And you still went through. Through it. You still went through it.

[A]

They just said they frontlined you.

[B]

Did you realize, like, you did it for two years and you broke. Had to break the habit and deal with that PTSD of like, not working? Not now. Imagine 25, 30. 30.

[C]

This is how it was for me. So I'm curious. I had a lot of pent up for 10 years of being in the army from 2001 to 2000, like 11. You can imagine the deployments that I went on, the things that I saw, the things that we did. I didn't deal with any of it until it stopped when I was done and I was like, holy. And then just like you said, like, I missed doing it, but I'm also like, holy. What the. Did I do to myself mentally?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You're 10 years in. Yeah.

[C]

No, I mean, just the. The emotional.

[A]

Oh, yeah. The damage that you do. Yeah, like that.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, where. You know, you're. I, dude, I. I still have nightmares about gunfights where my guns don't work. And I thought.

[A]

I thought you rented out ping pong paddles at the nwr.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I thought that was your job.

[C]

Yeah, that's exactly right. That's exactly right. I wish.

[A]

He's got, like, how many deployments too?

[C]

Four.

[A]

Four? Yeah.

[B]

Like, south.

[C]

I got 56 months.

[B]

40 years in Philly to get full pension. Boston. The guys from Boston called in 32. 32 years.

[D]

That's insane.

[B]

32 years, dude, bro, I did 23 and I. It was miserable.

[C]

Yeah. Miserable at my. My buddy CC that I talked to last night, he. He actually knows.

[A]

Deserves a chocolate.

[C]

Yeah, I had to tell him. I'm like, bro, bro. This name is a little bit too nebulous for me. I used a big word for you.

[D]

I have to look in the dude dictionary later.

[C]

Yeah. So. Which actually brings up. I have a really interesting question. So the snappening is happening.

[A]

Is that. Is that what it's called?

[C]

No, that's what it's happening. I heard it this morning. I'm like, I'm stealing that.

[A]

Yeah. We'll move into snap and government shutdown Updates, sponsors.

[C]

It's 12:15.

[A]

It is. Let's head Up. This show.

[B]

Can I get up?

[A]

Is brought to you by. We're going to run Vengeance Jason over at Vengeance. Good dude, great products. And this commercial does way more justice than I can ever do it.

[G]

Over a century ago, in 1910, the Flexner Report, funded by John D. Rockefeller and the Carnegie foundation, re engineered medical education from a holistic whole body approach, which appropriately treated the body as an interconnected system, to a compartmentalized approach. Under the guise of specialized medicine, they shut down or consolidated medical schools, marginalized naturopathic, homeopathic and chiropractic medicine, replacing them with symptom management and synthetic drugs. Allopathy is a marketing strategy rooted in fear and manipulated science. This philosophy carried into veterinary medicine resulting in over vaccination, unnecessary surgeries, and manufactured food, just like they did for people. They call it care, but it's predatory and based in profitability. The truth, toxicity, compromised immunity and chronic inflammation. They're not fate, they're engineered. And so is your power to undo them. We built three targeted formulas to return the body to homeostasis for pets and people to detox, defend and restore. We are the correction to decades of corruption. We are Vengeance.

[A]

And Flatline Fiber Company. Go to flatline fiberco.com use promo code ANTI HERO Save 15% on slings. IFAX dump pouches, baseline bags made in America with a lifetime warranty. Flatline fiber code.com use promo code ANTIHERO15. Tell them ANTI HERO sent you. You get 15 off your rifle slings and other rifle stuff. That's it, man. You got to make some announcements.

[B]

So one announcement I'm going to make is we are going to drop custom for you guys.

[A]

Well, let's explain why. We've got to explain why because, all right, this, we're.

[B]

We're moving your explosion. Your express explanations are as good as your reels. They're much better than mine.

[A]

Shut up. We're moving in the direction of very fast of a real broadcast podcast, right? And we, we're seeing all of you here with us every day we go live. Every night we go live and we're like, man, this is like more of a legitimate community than Anti Hero has ever been. And so we're like, let's put out like shirts that everybody gets, like inside joke shirts that are only out for what you want to do. Like limited drops.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And so we're going to work on a merch line and then Mike's gonna talk more about that.

[B]

I couldn't say. I'm not smart enough.

[A]

I'm not smart Enough to say I'm sorry.

[B]

So I will just say I'm sorry. Our goal, our goal is to drop them on Patreon. So Patreon is going to start getting access to exclusive merchandise that drops there first and limited edition stuff that's going to go in Patreon that can be bought on our website. And that's it.

[A]

That's because I wanted you to.

[B]

It was all his idea. That was all.

[C]

So, so we're gonna have, we're gonna have Mike's FTO shirt.

[B]

That's. Yeah, yeah. The two. The two pig. The two pigs. The two pigs we didn't kill that. We actually kept alive those ones. But we'll have, you know, hats, shirts. You know, we don't have hood enough hoodie. I'm a hoodie guy. So, like some hoodies, it's going to be on the.

[A]

The anti hero broadcast website's almost finished and then it's going to have a link to a merch store where we can buy these. You know, it'll be.

[B]

Yeah, limited drops. Patreon will see them first and maybe even get some input into, you know, couple design options. Like this shirt. That's our night shift shirt. There's a cut. It says counterculture on the back. We're kind of tweaking that around. These are limited edition me, Jimmy, you are the only ones that have these shirts, so. Oh, well, they're not for sale. They're not for sale yet. But if you want a night shift shirt and you're too late.

[A]

We didn't even make an announcement. You can't have one. We got John in the comments saying.

[B]

That the Clinton shirt has to happen.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Keep it short, but we're gonna tell.

[A]

We're gonna actually go back and do Clint's entire story in the smallest font ever on the back. We're gonna transcribe a story. Another thing that we did, I don't know if you guys noticed, is that 70 to 80%, I would say, of anti hero YouTube has been locked for membership only. That is because it's, it's, it's a changed world. In the anti hero world world. I'm not going to remove it from the Internet, but it's kind of like a house that people are in that we don't want in anymore. And so if. Does that make sense? Like we have a big home, we're welcoming everybody in it and there's just a lot of people in there that are only in there to eat our food and go buy. And so I was like, you know what? If they want to. If they want to see Shrek get dunked on by Brent for three hours. Hours, they can pay for it. If they want to see two out of the three TK episodes, they can pay for it. You know, and so a lot of the old with me in it, too, no one even knows is out there. The beginning episodes, they're all locked, but you can have it for $3 a month for a YouTube membership.

[C]

It also keeps certain freaking people away.

[B]

It's that time of the day.

[A]

What is it?

[B]

It's time for Clint to call in.

[A]

Is he gonna call him?

[B]

Yeah, he's ready. You ready?

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Oh, let's go. This will be our first week. Week.

[A]

What?

[B]

I want everybody. Everybody who wants to play. This will be the first free one we're going to do in Patreon from now on.

[A]

Oh, we are. Are you going to remember to do it?

[B]

Yep.

[B]

[B]

[B]

[E]

What's going on, guys?

[A]

What's up, Clint? Good.

[E]

Clint, hey, what's going on?

[B]

All right, man.

[E]

All right, all right, so I. I got one for you.

[A]

That's gonna be the shirt. I got one for you.

[B]

Somebody write it down so I don't forget.

[C]

I got one for you.

[B]

Go ahead.

[E]

You know, I got. I got a plaque one time when I left the unit, and on the plaque, it was inscribed. It said, hey, guys, check this out. And that was what I. When. Before they handed it to me, I walked up to my. My senior, and he said, hey, man, check this out.

[B]

That's what's supposed to be the rule. Go ahead.

[E]

All right, so. So I was a brand new Joe again, and we had just got back from Panama. We went to the. The jungle school down there in Panama, and I'll tell y' all stories from that offline. But when we. When we flew back to Bragg, instead of just letting us go home, they decided for us to jump into the field and do another two weeks, you know, just. Just for gp. And so we're in the. In the woods, and they have a formation, a battalion formation in the middle of the woods, and the entire battalions formed up in the tree line. So there's, like, trees in the formation. And all the NCOs are freaking out. They're like, man, I've never seen that. I've been in the army 10 years. I've never seen this before in my life. And all the new guys, we don't know anything. They're like, hey. The battalion commander came out. He's like, guys, I got good news, and I got better news. He said, we're leaving the field early, and the better news is we're going to Bosnia. And this is in 1995. Bosnia was not the coolest place, I think, around that time. So we came out of the box, and we went into this intensive training cycle. For 30 days, we didn't have any days off. And for one day, you did patrols, and then the next day you did checkpoints. And then on the third day, that was my favorite day. That's where you just laid on your stomach and probed for mines, and you ate the chow on your belly and you peed. You leaned on your side and peed on the ground, and then continued. And then it would just recycle. So you did everything 10 times. So you did 10. 10 days on your belly probing for mines in a Month. And so then they had a big, like, whatever they call those inspections where they go through and check the weapons and stuff, and they. They got to be so clean that they probably don't work and, you know, all that stuff. And so, like, the big accumulation for all this training was. We were going to do a six mile run and the Secretary of Defense was going to come and talk to us. So this is in 95, and it's. It's in October. I remember that because it was kind of chilly. But so they had our battalion formed up. It was like our battalion plus all our augmentees, whoever that would be. And we met on. At Powell Stadium. It's on the backside of the gym across from the swimming pool. You know where that's at, Tyler?

[A]

Yeah. Yep.

[E]

Okay, so in that wood line right there where they eventually built 4th Brigade, I think, in the back. Back, back there. But anyway, so it was so early in the morning, it was nighttime. And we, you know, marched, marched over. We went cut through that wood line and marched down there. And then we formed up on the football field. Field, and that's Tao Stadium. It's a gully with a PT track and a football field and, you know, stairs that you can run up and down, stuff like that. So we're standing out there and the. I could be wrong. I'm sure Jimmy probably has all the Secretary of Defenses memorized. I want to say it was togo west, but I could be wrong. Anyway, we were formed up on the. You know, formed up in the formation. And the Secretary of Defense got up there and he was like, all right, you know, we're going to send you guys to Bosnia and this and that. And he was really giving us a good pep talk. I was 19 years old. And he said, you are the 82nd Airborne, and the whole world fears you. And I, like, nodded my head and I was like, yes, they do. And so then they said, all right, we're going to start the run. And they started playing eye the tiger. So I'm just trying to extend it for the time.

[A]

Oh, they're gonna think we're dirty. We can't work.

[C]

You gotta. You gotta just tell.

[A]

They're gonna think we're dirty.

[E]

No, no, no, no, no. So anyways, so then they. They, you know, call the company to attention. We all go to attention, and we start to march out and we're getting on the PT track, right? And then you hear pow.

[B]

Pow.

[E]

And everybody thinks that it's a starting pistol for the run. So we all started pumping our arms up and down in the.

[C]

Run.

[E]

I mean, I'd say 80% were drunk. Maybe 80% were drunk from the night before. And so on third shot, I looked over my shoulder, and I seen a guy's butt explode.

[B]

Good.

[E]

Can you hear me?

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

So dude got shot in the butt, and his butt exploded. He's probably, like, I don't know, 15ft away from me. And everybody just hit the. That, like, everybody just. You heard people yell sniper. And everybody just got flat on this football field. And nobody has weapons. We're all in pts with reflector belts on, you know?

[B]

Yeah, I remember those.

[E]

Yeah. And so we were laying there, and. And, I mean, that's what they teach you to do in the woods, right? Somebody starts shooting, you lay down. But on a football field, that's not the best thing to do. So they start yelling, you know, get up. Run, run, run. So we get up, and I took off running. And I didn't run far. I just run across the track, and there was a telephone pole that had lights that lit up the track. So I went to dive behind this telephone pole and in the air. While I was diving, another guy dove and landed underneath me. So I landed on his back like a. Like a backpack. And then I was laying there, and the rounds were coming at us. And they had tracers in them, too, so you could see them coming out of the wood line. And the reason I picked this is because, you know, the Charlie Kirk thing, people have all these stories that they tell, and I'm just telling you what happens in your mind when it really happens to you. So I'm laying there, and I'm looking. I'm looking towards the tree line. So I'm watching the rounds coming that way at me. I'm like, damn, man, I'm gonna get my leg shot, because I got them spread out kind of in the prong. So I go to close my legs, and one of the machine gunners from my company is curled up like a little puppy dog in between my legs. And I was like, damn, I'm gonna get my leg shot. And so the embankment that runs up to the Ardennes, we all jumped up and. Oh, and the. They had a. They have a latrine right on the. On the far side of the track. So where we're at, right beside us, there was probably 200 dudes hiding behind that concrete block latrine building that they had. And so we started running. Everybody's like, get up. Run. So we run up the embankment, and rounds are hitting the embankment as you're Running up the embankment. And when I got to the top of the. There's a sidewalk before you get to the Ardennes. There was a dude shot there and they were dragging him them. And then as I was running across the street, there was two guys shot and they were dragging them. And we run into the first building on the Ardennes and that's like the old 19. This is the old 1960s barracks.

[A]

Yeah, I remember down. Yep.

[E]

And so it was 3 19th Field Artillery and them, they hadn't even had PT formation yet. So we're, we're running the building. And when we run in the building, we filled their whole building up with, with soldiers. And one of the team leaders, he was a high speed dude, he was from core lurc, he had halo wings. He ran into building. I don't know why he said this, but he said he's in the building. And dude, it was like a looney tune. Like somebody snapped the fingers and the building was empty. Me and, me and this lieutenant, our brand new lieutenant, we're running. We ran as for, as for.

[A]

All the bets are in at what. How much time we got left, Clint?

[E]

I don't know. I'm getting there, I'm getting there.

[C]

That should be on the back of the shirt. I'm getting there in the middle of the story.

[E]

So we ran through the building and they were having a formation. We ran through the formation, we yelled sniper. And they're like, what are you talking about? Like there's somebody over there trying to kill us. And so that company ran off and me and the lieutenant were so fucked up, we ran past where we lived and worked. I worked in the same building that I lived in. And we ended up one PT field completely over. And I turned him, I was like, hey, sir, I think we ran too far. And he said we did. And so we had to turn around, run back towards the gunpowder her. And then they had set up like a, you know, triage in the field and they were treating people in the field that we ran past. So then we ran into the building and they sent us in groups of two to the arm room arms run to draw our wet. When we ran up to our building, they already had 240 sticking out the top windows of the building. And so when we ran in, we were yelling, you know, friendly's coming in. And we came in, they sent us to the arms room and in pairs of two. And we drew our rifles and live ammo. They gave us live ammo. And then we went in our rooms, we got our Helmets on. Our PT belts took our PT belts off, and we got our rifles, and we're watching the news, and they turn off. All the phones on Fort Bragg. They turn. So there's no way to call out and talk to anybody. So we're just watching the news, and they're talking about it. They're saying, you know, fort Bragg shooting, and. And, you know, nobody knows this and that. And so this is just Joe's in the rooms talking. It's like, dude, it's Bosnian terrorists. They came intercept us. They heard we were coming. They came to intercept us, and they attacked us. And. And they were like, dude, I seen a fire team moving through the woods.

[C]

And this and that.

[E]

I mean, just anything you could imagine, people were saying. And so, dude, we had formation. We had formation turned in. I mean, we had to clean the weapons, obviously. You know, people were crying on them, I think. So we cleaned the weapons and turned them in. We had a formation, and they never said a word about what happened. They just said, hey, guys, let's just have a regular weekend. We're all stressed out from the whole month of all this madness. So, you know, all passes are approved, so just do what you want to do this weekend. So I got my car and I drove home, and when I got home, I lived two hours away. My parents were crying. I didn't have a cell phone back then. And I pulled in, and they were like, yeah, we seen it on the news, and it was crazy. And I was in Charlie Company, and it was NCO from Bravo Company company that did it. He was a weapon squad leader, and they had caught him on the previous cyanide rotation with the OP order on how he was going to take out his platoon. And they. The lieutenant, the platoon started, made corrections on it and gave it back to him. And then the day that he didn't show up for pt, his buddy said, well, he called me on the phone, told me not to come to pt. And they said, well, that pussy ain't gonna do nothing.

[A]

Nothing.

[E]

And then that's. That's why he had done. He had dug fighting positions in the woods, and he had a. He had an AR15 hunting rifle and a pistol, and he shot, like, 20 people. And he killed. He killed one guy, and that was Captain Badger. He was like, I think S3 or something, the S3. But he charged him, and he got shot in the face and killed on the spot. And they. They renamed the field Badger Stadium. And they put a plaque. They had a concrete. A brick pedestal built up with a Plaque on it, renaming it and talking about the event, what hero he was. And then I, you know, I left and went to for Stewart, and I finally come back and they got rid of it and they renamed it Tao Stadium. So they just pretend. They just pretend like the whole thing never happened. They never offered counseling. They never mentioned not.

[A]

I didn't pay attention to half that story. And I'm still amazed.

[B]

I appreciate you calling in. And are you? Are you. You were long. The end of the story is right now. So that's it. 14:20.

[A]

14. 20.

[B]

14:20 is the end of the story. Are you willing to come on if we get remote capabilities, Are you willing to come on video?

[A]

No. We got to keep Quinn a secret.

[B]

All right, never mind.

[A]

Clint, everybody. I want a mystery of who Clint is.

[B]

You can wear a mask or, like, a different helmet every day. Clint, we appreciate your support, man. We'll see you next week. All right, bye.

[A]

All right, I gotta see who guessed 1245. That is the closest one. That's the highest one. And it still went over 12:45.

[C]

J, my boy.

[A]

All right, I'm gonna get J a shirt.

[C]

You can give it to me. And he lives close by. I just make him come get it.

[A]

All right, so the new rules actually.

[B]

T. Is it T mill I messed.

[A]

Up T. T Mill actually had it right. He said he did a super chat and gave his time. We're only supposed to honor t mil.

[B]

He gets something, too. He gets something from cop T mail. Hit me up in the cop OG dms. I'll give you a. You can get a shirt for me for free because you actually did it right. It was my fault. I gave long information like always. My real suck my. I'm the terrible co host.

[A]

Mike's a good idea fairy.

[C]

Actually get.

[B]

Did you notice? Did you notice, though? We talked about in depth we were going to do on super chats and then I didn't say it and my team did not step in, and I.

[A]

Thought it was something you were going to handle.

[C]

Yeah, I've got this great idea.

[A]

All right. That's my idea, guys.

[C]

All right. It's the. Oh, all right.

[A]

We have got to talk about the.

[B]

New Orleans meth cop.

[C]

Oh, we got to talk.

[A]

That's the whole point. We almost forgot.

[C]

I told you. There's so much going on.

[A]

All right, we got a video on that. Are we just going to tell stories story? I mean, there's a. There's a Fox 8 New Orleans video on it.

[D]

I did, and they just posted it yesterday.

[A]

I think it's probably in Instagram. Can you go to the Instagram DMS and see if it's in there? But essentially what happened? I say essentially too much. I gotta stop saying that. Word is that a cop was caught on his own body cam in New Orleans smoking meth. And he is not fired.

[B]

No, he kept his job. That is on body cam. Walked in the store, bought a torch. One of those. Can we talk about Clint doing the bomb? Bomb. Bomb.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I would have ended the story right there. That was good. He was doing it. Nobody knows the Rocky. That was pretty good.

[A]

The clinch. I wanna. I want a photo of Clint and. And I wanna. I want it redrawn on the front. And the. And it's gonna say underneath the drawing, it's gonna say, I got one for you. And it's literally going to be a transcript of one of his stories in the smallest spot. And that's going to be the back piece.

[B]

Are you gonna do that or I have to do it.

[A]

I'll do it.

[B]

Okay, we'll see.

[C]

I. I think. I think what we need to do is we need to have people send in what they think Clint looks like.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

And we all drawing, draw Clint.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And then.

[C]

So the best one wins. We make that a shirt.

[A]

All right, let's go. All right, so you're in the dms. Go up or just go. You can go to Suck a Free Sunday. It's couldn't. Keep going up. Keep going up. Keep going up. Oh, wait, no, way down. Way down. What are you in? You're in Jimmy's. No, you need to go to Sucker Free Sunday.

[D]

It's above my name.

[B]

Do you read?

[A]

No, it's at the top. Louis.

[B]

Tyler, your boss. Right down. Tyler. Yeah, the guy sitting here.

[A]

All right, go up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up. Is it any of those guys? No, keep going, keep going.

[B]

He just had it on the screen somewhere.

[C]

It was there.

[B]

Yeah. I don't know what he did.

[A]

Oh, go back to where you were then, Lewis.

[B]

No, it was like he was waiting in somebody's dms. And the video was there. Keep going down.

[A]

Jimmy's.

[C]

No, it wasn't.

[A]

Right there.

[B]

Right there.

[A]

That Fox 8.

[B]

Okay, left.

[A]

Oh, left.

[B]

Okay. Inside the Fox 8 story, that one.

[F]

4:34Am, December 5, 2023, near the Edge Parish, Officer Maurice Bailey pulls his NOPD unit into a gas station in Irish Bayou. Bailey grabs his radio, heads inside, and asks for just one thing.

[E]

I just need to get one of these lighting.

[B]

What is it? I want to be lighting her Too.

[A]

Yeah. No.

[B]

You know, not really. What language do they speak?

[F]

Reaching over the plastic, grabs a knife, hands it to the clerk. You can see a green torch lighter. Momentary early before Bailey's arm covers his body worn camera throughout the rest of the purchase. In the next four minutes, Bailey moves his unit to the edge of the property facing toward Highway 11. And then pulls out a plastic bag that appears to contain a white substance.

[B]

Great music.

[F]

4:44Am A call for a residential burglar alarm comes across the radio. Without responding to dispatchers, Bailey leaves the truck stop turning south onto Highway 11. Within seconds, his body worn camera captures this. That brand new lighter torching a white substance into a milky cloud inside a clear glass pipe.

[C]

He's going to be awake for a while.

[F]

Captured on officer Maurice Bailey's active body worn camera while driving his NOPDU unit. Video of Fox 8 obtained through public records request.

[A]

What's happening?

[B]

That looks like meth.

[A]

What?

[E]

That is a crock pot.

[A]

That's sick.

[E]

Oh my God. That's a police officer doing that.

[B]

Something that he shouldn't be doing. All right, so I got the update in there. There's a second part that explains the money he got paid and all that. Go to anti hero inbox from Copville.

[A]

I got questions so hopefully.

[B]

So let's go. And then I just sent the video. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[C]

I mean like.

[B]

Inbox. That's what it's called, your DM in inbox.

[A]

Lewis, do you have Instagram?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All right, go. Interesting.

[D]

Just don't use it much.

[B]

All right, hit that video. This is the update.

[C]

Good for you man.

[B]

You know everything. I love everything about. Look at that comment.

[F]

Fox 8 first met Bailey in 2022 during his NLP graduation ceremony.

[A]

Right now, investigation is underway.

[C]

Sources say a supervisor initiated inside of.

[F]

His police in last year. We detailed the internal investigation as it began.

[A]

The New Orleans Police Department confirms one of their own was administratively reassigned.

[E]

I'd be fired on the spot.

[A]

You're fired.

[B]

I would be fired immediately.

[F]

Even with video evidence and a positive drug test, the NOPD didn't fire Bailey. He was administratively reassigned in December 2023. And while records show he was on leave without pay for seven full pay period periods, he did collect nearly $13,000 in sick pay, holiday leave and benefits. One of those benefits a five thousand dollar retention bonus which the NOPD says the city pays automatically to all city employees who meet eligibility criteria.

[A]

Can I get that job? I don't even do drugs. And that'd be. That's crazy.

[B]

Unless that video alone, I think, justifies a termination. No, you don't say.

[A]

All right, all right. I got questions. So a positive drug test. Sure. Video evidence of him smoking it.

[C]

Sure.

[B]

Hold on, hold on. Let him. Let him smoke.

[A]

None of those are illegal. Do they have any evidence to test for narcotics?

[B]

Because you can't be charged with possession.

[A]

They got it. They've got to test. Is not illegal to smoke it. It's not illegal for it to be in your system. It's got to be tested, and you have to be in possession of it or they can say you. We can prove you did have this in your possession.

[B]

That's criminal.

[A]

That's criminal.

[C]

Yes, it's on camera.

[A]

What he did was along. We're trying to get on the radio. So we're not gonna say a lot of things that we know is true about this scenario, but what I will say is most likely he did some kind of. Got ahead of it and said, I have a drug problem. Please don't. Please don't leave me on my own. My own. I won't make it. And now it's a liability thing. That's my opinion.

[B]

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I know a guy worked for the county, not as a cop, but he. He's. Anyway, he works for the county and he failed. And he did the same thing and they kept his job. But I don't know how. I mean, I just don't know, first of all, how you could testify in court. And here's the other thing.

[A]

Hold on. Before you.

[B]

He blows off the burglary call on top of it.

[A]

So those guys were sent to him?

[B]

I believe so, yeah.

[D]

You gotta be kidding me.

[B]

Most guys. Every.

[D]

God, he's like, oh, I've got a burglary call here.

[B]

Let me smoke my mouth. Most guys would get in trouble for just for that. Not going to a call, driving the opposite. Opposite direction. Well, that'd be grounds for termination or some type of massive punishment. But you were busy smoking meth on top of it. Yeah. There's a reason that he wasn't in trouble.

[A]

Jimmy, what say you?

[C]

So here's. I have to put past. I have to give this to the group. You have video evidence from your partner's body camera showing someone smoking. Not the cop. He sees somebody smoking a. That a bowl. Whatever the it is.

[B]

He's got elongated glass white rock substance that appears to be methane amphetamine.

[D]

Based on my training and experience.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Right.

[C]

So you see all of that? Let's. Let's say you've got A video of me doing it. Am I going to jail?

[A]

No, no, absolutely not.

[B]

The only thing that might get you. So where. Where we do get around it is when guys are flashing guns on their Instagram and they're in a house and it has a time stamp. You can get a gun expert to testify that that's a real gun, and you can kind of go after them like a search warrant in their house, but it's not enough to rush you.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

And that's a bigger. A gun charge. I'm looking at Jimmy, Jimmy the gangster. I've been wanting to nail him with a gun charge. And I see you on Instagram. I'm going, the. The department is going to take and utilize the resources and the money and the time to have a gun expert come in and go, I can now say, I believe that's a gun. A meth pipe. No one's gonna. No, there's no. We don't charge people for drugs anymore. I know that's a weird thing for you to understand, but because we do.

[C]

Killing people that are bringing the truck.

[A]

We do take them off the streets. But when I say, well, so we do charge them, but they don't. They do two. They get two days time served. That's day. And they go in the three hours they spend overnight and they're out in the morning. That's two days time served. Fine. It.

[D]

So doing the same thing when they get out.

[A]

But yes, your answer is no. If. If this was like. If this was like your wife saying, like, oh, my husband smoked meth. Look at the video. And I could. I know it's you, Jimmy. Like, let's say I know it's you. I can't prove you. It to you.

[C]

It's just so.

[A]

And I need that crack, so I need that meth pipe.

[C]

Yeah. So. Okay, that would. That was. That's my. My first issue is like, dude, I feel like if. If I'm. If I'm smoking a. You know, this right here, this is old. Yeah.

[A]

He could have gotten rid of that pipe. He could have gotten rid of that baggie. There's no. There's.

[B]

It's. There's probable cause for detention. There's probable cause for a lot of things. But there's no. Beyond a reasonable doubt in that video. But again, administratively. The video. The video. He's cooked himself.

[C]

He's literally cooked.

[B]

Yeah. For administrative purposes in law enforcement. You should be. That.

[C]

You should be. Not be a cop anymore.

[B]

Most people would be fired.

[A]

Everybody would be. I.

[C]

If I had done that On a construction site, I would have been fired.

[A]

Ah, if you're a white guy. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

They don't want to pay tax.

[C]

You're the one that's over here lecturing us.

[B]

I'm sorry.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

I was just saying the illegals get a litter.

[B]

No, but we. Remember we talked about the union work up in D.C. where everybody knows that the foreman smoke crack and he disappears for two days at a time, and he was never drug tested. You're in a union area. You're not losing your job at all.

[A]

They got a good union. I doubt it.

[B]

No. New Orleans?

[A]

No. Do you think it's because they're hard up on cops?

[B]

Nope.

[A]

Why do you think so?

[C]

Hey.

[A]

Hey.

[C]

Black Nissan.

[B]

They're very short on bodies.

[A]

We are? Yeah. We are working on our. Our tact. What's that Tact? Like you got to watch.

[B]

You're doing bad.

[A]

We're working on it.

[B]

You're doing bad. Especially Thursday night.

[A]

You do Thursday nights.

[B]

You do really bad on Thursdays.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

We want. We want. Don't.

[B]

All right, all right.

[A]

That was a. I'm glad we. Like, that was. We got to cover those at the beginning of the episodes, if it's not in the thumbnail, but.

[B]

Yeah, I just make reels, man. I don't know.

[F]

I'm just.

[B]

I'm just here, man. They might. They might think really good reels. Let's see who's got the most engagement on Instagram.

[C]

Oh, man. So, I mean, can we. Can we segue that into the Snappening?

[A]

Oh, we haven't talked about the snapping.

[C]

Yeah, we keep trying to.

[A]

All right, Government shutdown. Shut it down with that.

[C]

So Publix just came out recently and was like, hey, guys, we're totally cool with you open. Carrying in the public. And this on the heels of Publix.

[A]

Is a chain grocery store, mostly in Florida, but in other states.

[B]

Yeah, but southeast United States.

[C]

Yeah. So they're totally cool with that. And the. And the. Again, this comes on the heels of the. The government shutdown is at day 34. The way that Snap benefits works is you get paid based on the case number or the first letter of your last name. So, like, some people are getting.

[A]

Are.

[C]

We're gonna have everybody pretty much out of Snap benefits by the end of this month. Like, everybody. That's 42 million people. Now, first part, A lot of people are saying, we're gonna start just robbing the grocery stores, or we're gonna wait for white people to come out.

[B]

Which people?

[A]

Yeah, we Gotta stop with it.

[C]

I didn't say anything.

[B]

I said we're gonna wait for white people.

[C]

That's. Yeah, that's what they said.

[A]

That's what they said.

[C]

We're gonna wait for people to come out of the store with, with their groceries and then just steal it from them after they come out. Now, 40 years of police experience, we've got open carry in the public.

[B]

Yeah. It's gonna get ugly. It's gonna get, it's gonna get ugly. And you can't kill people over property crimes.

[A]

No, cannot.

[B]

So.

[A]

Right.

[C]

But if you're stealing food from my family.

[A]

No, no even robbery unless they introduce a weapon. You can't, you can't though.

[B]

Yeah. Your robbery by sudden snatching is not going to justify us.

[A]

What's the deal? Is the rioting happening at all?

[C]

So like I said, the, the snap benefits stopped. I mean the government shutdowns at day 34. The, the.

[B]

Are we longest. This is the longest one.

[C]

No, we're, we're two days from it. And it's, it's probably. That's, that's the other part of the, the 10. Okay, guys, when you clip this, put on your tin foil hats.

[A]

All right, all right.

[C]

Okay. Put them on. On, Put them on everybody.

[A]

What for y'. All. Okay, I almost said the R word for all you people in the comments.

[C]

Yeah. So the, the conspiracy comments, not these comments. Yeah. The conspiracy is that Trump wants the government to stay shut down and the snap benefits to stop because according to some sources that can't be verified, about 80% of the illegals in the country are getting snap benefits. And so he wants them to self deport.

[B]

But he, he also saw where he called for them to use a nuclear option, which. Yeah, they can override the 60% rule.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And the Republicans could carry the government back to being open. Well, yeah. Use a nuclear option.

[C]

Yeah. So I mean, that really what it's called.

[B]

Yeah, it's literally called use it like six, five or six times they used it.

[A]

Yeah. So we have. So, but he, they, Trump wants to do it.

[B]

He called for Senate to go nuclear, which means they can. Instead of having to pass it with the majority 60% of rule. They can go. Yeah. As long as they have 51 votes.

[C]

Yeah, they can, they can.

[B]

Or 50 with the vice president. They can pass.

[C]

People don't understand that.

[B]

They don't use it very often.

[C]

Yeah, we, times like this. Yeah. We have a continuing resolution because of the, the, the money that's being spent on the government.

[A]

Right.

[C]

We have to every Year vote on this continuing in the Senate vote on this continuing resolution to keep the government funded. And that's.

[B]

That sounds so weird, doesn't it?

[C]

It's so. It's like.

[B]

And.

[C]

But again, who is definitely getting paid? Not the government workers. Do you know that 80% of the people that work for that are air traffic controllers are not getting paid?

[B]

Yeah, it's bad. And. And it's pretty important job. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And talk about 80%. And they're starting to. We may look back on this as this was the easy time time for the government shutdown. If it doesn't happen soon, like, we're going to start having supply chain issues, travel issues. By the way, Florida's full. Don't come to Florida. Florida's bad place.

[A]

Logistical issues. Yeah.

[B]

Flight a tsa. Tsa. But not just getting paid.

[C]

TSA is not getting paid. But think about it.

[F]

We.

[C]

You, you just go.

[A]

Yeah, you.

[C]

We've got shirts and we got merch. Right?

[A]

We want to shush me.

[C]

Yeah. We're selling all this merch, man. It's gotta fly.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

If it's not. If, if airplanes are not able to land so safely because, you know, God forbid they have a net air.

[A]

Me and Michael get a van and we'll drive it to you, dude.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, like, it's. It's nuts. It's nuts. And there's. Unless they do the nuclear option, there ain't no stopping it. So law enforcement, you guys are going to be busy.

[B]

Not me.

[A]

Not me. While you're. Hey, while you guys are working your details that this provides. Listen to us.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

We'll keep you entertained. Keep you informed.

[C]

How are you rolling up to that call at the Publix? Like we've got three.

[A]

That's crazy, dude.

[C]

Open carrying.

[A]

Open carry. We got.

[C]

We got people at gunpoint now telling you.

[A]

I'm like telling you.

[B]

But here's what's going to happen. Happen is. How do I say this?

[A]

We're trying to get on the radio.

[B]

You're gonna have people that don't care about the gun being pointed at them raising hell, continuing to commit crime. And then you're gonna have like your guy that it's going to get very ugly. It's going to get very ugly. And I don't know, maybe. Maybe you're right. Maybe they do want it to happen.

[A]

Happen.

[C]

I mean, are you taking. Are you taking homeboy to jail who's open carrying and somebody take. You know, you can't point your gun at somebody for. You're taking them to jail.

[B]

You can't point your gun at somebody for stealing your groceries. So it's going to be very, very ugly.

[A]

And it sucks.

[B]

And that's.

[A]

What. Okay, so when you walk out of the grocery store and this happened to me multiplied. But in case a beer falls out, something breaks, a fruit gets dirty, the. Even if you're on your way out the car, the grocery store, no, come on, we'll replace it. We'll replace it. You get. So people start getting their grocery store. And out in the parking lot, the grocery stores will be like, dude, this. This is on you. So you're gonna be the victim. Forcing you to get mad and angry.

[B]

But then you take four. You can take four. You can use force when I say this to keep your groceries in your possession, like pulling them back. You could probably use force to get them off your groceries. Physically, you need to get back, but there's going to be a line somewhere in the middle. You cannot pull your gun out until you're in fear for your life. You can't pull it out for property. Can't pull it off your dog, unfortunately. But I will. You can't pull your gun out or use your gun for property.

[A]

You just got to articulate your safety.

[B]

I'll stand your ground is going to be tough.

[A]

Somebody's willing to come rob you for your groceries in broad daylight. I don't know what they're else capable of. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna brandish my firearm and say stay back. And I'm gonna distance myself and then.

[B]

Start submitting applications for co host of the antihero now. And then my Tyler Pros' I'll need. I'll need a.

[A]

That's my stance, by the way.

[B]

I'll need a part.

[C]

I mean, like, I've already got it. I mean, like I. I told Lily, I was like, here's how we're gonna do this. We're gonna go to the store. I, I conceal. Carrie, I don't think but carry is a great idea.

[A]

Jimmy's on the other side. He needs. Yeah, he's gonna go rob for the grocery.

[C]

I'm just trying to figure out how.

[F]

To get it done.

[A]

Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna ski mask up. We're gonna keep the car running.

[C]

I, I actually going to be. It's going to be like heat, man. Like, Billy's driving the truck and I'm coming out slinging lead as my kids are throwing groceries into the back of the truck.

[A]

They can't tell you.

[B]

I just want a public sub, man. I'm just hungry.

[C]

I'm just hungry for a. I want the fried chicken.

[A]

What you guys missing? There's so many now. There's so many inside jokes that we can't find them. Go. All right. Hey, listen. Thursday, we'll be back. It means so much to us that you guys stuck around and chatted it up. We'll get the rule. We'll figure out if we're gonna do Clint weekly.
