Tyler
Can we use my meme?
Mike
Yeah. Oh, my bad, dude.
Tyler
Chuck Norris.
Mike
Chuck Norris was confirmed dead 1 hour ago by his Instagram page. He beat life. Chuck Norris didn't die. He just decided to stop breathing.
Tyler
Yeah, that's. I saw. I went to the hospital yesterday and I mean 86.
Mike
Yeah. I didn't know.
Tyler
Yeah, I mean, obviously very healthy. Make it 86.
Mike
Go into his Instagram.
Tyler
He's posting from his posting on his Instagram.
Mike
Still.
Tyler
That's pretty good, man.
Mike
His family is he jerk. All right, let's see. Have you heard that the family shares the sudden passing of beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep circumstances private, please know that we're surrounded by friends and family. It was at peace, so. Which is kind of crazy, because if you look at his Instagram, it's not crazy. It's just kind of surreal. He posted this, like, two weeks ago.
Tyler
I don't age. I level up. I don't age.
Mike
So it's kind of like one of those things when you.
Tyler
Yeah, it's crazy, dude.
Mike
When you're that age, man, it's. I guess maybe just the most mundane thing. Send you to the hospital. I mean, because unless he had something that they just weren't saying anything about,
Tyler
which is, obviously, he's in Hawaii, I guess, on vacation. It's a medical emergency. But I can't imagine. Like, here's what I think, because we know everything. We see everything. Like, our parents and our grandparents watched, like, just news. That's all I got is a picture in a newspaper. So maybe. Maybe found out a day later, two days later, we see that, like, in real time, and we, like, become parts of their lives more. So, like, I watch Arnold walk into the classic the other day. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he's beat. You know, old Ronnie Coleman, like, can barely walk old. Like, all of our. All the people, we watched movies. Like, we're gonna see. Like, we're gonna watch it all unfold, dude, in, like, real time, with more information and pictures and videos. You just feel more connected, I guess, is what I'm trying to say. Because you see their lives, you know, 40, 50, 60 years ago, so. And so died. Okay? That's it. There's a newspaper article. It's on the news for 10 minutes. There's a newspaper. You read about it, and it was like, that's it. There was no real videos to go reflect on. You had to go get a VHS tape, maybe watch the old movie.
Mike
We couldn't go to their Instagram and be like, two weeks ago, he posted this, you know, like, and.
Tyler
Or the conspiracy. Like, he looked fine there. Now he's dead.
Mike
Yeah. Is AI. Or.
Tyler
Or. Or.
Mike
I mean, I don't think it's the case in Chuck Norris, but is there a clone involved now? Is he really dead?
Tyler
Yeah, the prime Minister of Israel. Like, for two weeks, they said he was dead. And then he came on TV last night. He's like, yeah, I'm not dead. And then all the comments were, we wish you were. It was like, the world we live in. Well, that's Bad news. Like, well, that's bad news. We wish you was just like, oh my God.
Mike
But yeah, old Chuck Norris. And you know what's crazy is I can't watch. I could never go back and watch the Expendable movies now just because of all those guys. None of them are in good shape.
Tyler
Yeah, crazy, man.
Mike
All the. I met Ronnie Coleman. Were you with me? No, I met him at, I want to say street cop training one year. And he wasn't like there mentally. He wasn't. Obviously wasn't there physically. He had, he was promoting his Ronnie Coleman supplement line that he had nothing to do with.
Tyler
Yeah, you feel bad. Like those dudes, like a guy like that at the peak of their careers, it wasn't lucrative, there wasn't money involved much. They, they had to win very little. Now imagine Ronnie Coleman coming through now with his personality, the massive weight and being able to market on social media and oh my God, dude. Like, it's a shame to see those older guys just, they didn't make much money. Like, even wrestler. You go back to wrestlers that were making nothing. Now these guys are millionaires. Like Ronnie Coleman right now with his charisma and attitude and the way he operates would be, he would be a billionaire dude. And yeah, he's struggling to sell some supplements. He can, you know, watching them, Ben, you know, 30 pound dumbbells and these legs are just, you know, he broke his back. Like, it's a shame.
Mike
Yeah. But in other news.
Tyler
Other news. There's a lot of the.
Mike
Yeah, well, it was brought up last night on night shift and. Oh, not that, sorry. The lemon pound cake thing. And I like you. I was like, wait, what? And then I, I, I had not put it together that they were Afroman. So. And I had just found out about the Afroman thing, I think yesterday or the day before as I was like, send this to me. And it was, I don't know what. I know it's Adams County. Do you know what state.
Tyler
Look it up. There's a super chat there.
Mike
Okay, let me read it. Chuck Norris is the only guy that can slam a revolving door. So if you guys don't know, I'll preface it once I put this up.
Tyler
Ohio. Ohio. O h, I o. So I tried to show my wife and she's, she's right, it's guy humor. She's like, it's not gonna be funny to a chick. Like, it's guy. He like. I started watching the Lemon pound cake video and I'm like, this is the best I've Ever seen.
Mike
And, I mean, I knew. I was like, I think Mike's gonna, like, think this is really funny, a. Because those guys. Those guys look like corrupt deputies.
Tyler
Like, and they look like the guns are pointing. Like the old school. He's clearing the house. The guy with the shields just carrying it on his shoulder while a guy's not even walking behind it. It was like.
Mike
So I guess in 2022, the rapper Afroman had his home raided with a search warrant for narcotics and kidnapping. I don't know. No charges, just conspiracy, I guess what they. They thought there was probable cause to enough to write a search warrant. So they go, they do this raid in 2022. They find absolutely nothing.
Tyler
Was that.
Mike
I can't right now. I'm live, babe. I can't really hold on. Do you need something? Yeah, like, what do you need? It's about the train. Can it wait? All right, I don't. You're gonna have to make a command decision. I mean, I'm live with, like, 70 people doing this, so. So they.
Tyler
Let's just look.
Mike
I have the 20. It would be $900 more. And they have a room. I mean, how. I don't know. How much debt do you guys think we should go in for train rides?
Tyler
Zero. We got super chat from Clint. Let's all. Let's all ghost the pod next week, Just. Tyler. I don't do that.
Mike
She's also going to transfer the customer service because they do veterans discounts so
Tyler
we can get her.
Mike
Okay. I don't really think a 10 veterans discount on a 900 upcharge. Okay.
Tyler
All right.
Mike
I mean, I can't make a decision up for 900 on a live stream, babe. Like, my initial reaction is going to be, no, it's not worth going in another 900 in debt for this. That we decided that last night we weren't going to do. And then you woke up this morning and started wanting to do so.
Tyler
Maybe there's certain lemon pound cake on the. Yeah, you can get some of that. Yeah.
Mike
In 2022.
Tyler
Probably fly three people.
Mike
Yeah, you probably fly four people. So they do a warrant in 2022. They find nothing. It looks like they steal his money. And. And did you see it?
Tyler
No, I didn't see that. I didn't see all the story, but, I mean, Adams county, look at this dude. You got a guy with a shield walking by the guy. This I. The reason I like this so much, because this is like, there's. You see the war. I know you loaded those videos in. You're gonna play them. I saw the two guys going at it on the Internet. I'll wait for you to show it. But this kind of goes into that line of like how stupid cops are. Like, how do you end up in a guy's house with probable cause for drugs and kidnapping? And there's nothing like I would be very interested.
Mike
And then. And then you do the dumb. So this lemon pound cake thing is because that fat deputy walked in taking at the lemon pound cake.
Tyler
I think it's genius. So I'm gonna. Well, this isn't Patreon, but I'm gonna go. I'm gonna attempt to get Afroman on. I have a connection.
Mike
I was thinking about that.
Tyler
I have. I have a connection to him. Direction. Yes. He comes to. Obviously he's not like super big anymore. He comes every year to a local bar and plays a concert. And the owner of the bar is a super good friend of mine. I'm going to try. That would be really cool. I'm gonna try. I already reached out to Afroman. We'll see. I don't know if he'll respond, but if it doesn't work that way, I have that other connection that I'm going to attempt.
Mike
But yeah, so they do. They do the search warrant. Find nothing. I guess a year later he starts releasing these music videos that have the security footage from his home of this raid. And then about two years ago, the cops file a civil lawsuit. And that's what we're going to get into because Mike's right. Some of the. Some of this is hilarious. So.
Tyler
Track home killer.
Mike
What?
Tyler
Clint dude says got. There's an Amtrak home killer in Brock.
Mike
You can't make this up, dude. I gotta.
Tyler
It was on another kick. It sounds like if you watch Izzo and I. He brings up that female that shot a dude in. Where was it?
Mike
Hold on.
Tyler
Brings up a dude all the time and shot a lady who shot a dude in Texas. He's been going crazy about it. And it sounds like they're get. They're arresting her, charging with money.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
There's just nothing. And then the big one right now is Boston. Have you seen the Boston one?
Mike
Yeah, I got that loaded up. Okay.
Tyler
That guy got arrested. Video. Video's not out. And it's one. It's gonna go like the Renee Good. I think it sounds like it's gonna go down the line of the Renee Good. Boston's a disaster. We've talked to guys from up there. We had, you know, one of our followers come down from up that Area and we'll meet and it's bad up there and I haven't seen it yet. I've seen the. You know the story he told her it was a carjacking as well. And the guy's trying to get away and it's the old shooting. Shooting them while they're driving. So we'll see. All right. I for men had the guy's ex wife testify against him in court. I just dude this amazing.
Mike
But dude, these videos are hilarious. So I'm just going to go through them in order that I have them.
Afroman
She raided my house, she disconnected my cameras. Then she went down on my spouse. I just don't know what I'm gonna do. Y' all keep on laughing. She gonna eat your wife's.
Tyler
That can't have. It couldn't have really.
Mike
Brian, what did you say?
Tyler
That couldn't have really happened. He's just with her.
Mike
Yeah, yeah. I think he's just making all this up. But the we'll go into the the real start getting into like the pro what his rights are as free speech and stuff and what they consider deputies.
Afroman
So black William is a pedophile. If I'm telling folks the truth, how come I have to go to trial? Newland so Sexton kids. That's true. Now he's stealing my money to my proofs on the Internet. Afroman will bring it to ya. Afroman is gonna do ya. Afroman is gonna screw ya. My proofs on the Internet.
Mike
Mike, the only difference between you and Afroman is the fact that you're not black. Because right now you guys have a lot of similarities.
Tyler
I would. Dude, this is next level. Like this is where I want to get. This is next level. Like 50 cent. Petty. This is just petty.
Mike
Like in one of the interviews I have queued up, he even says like I didn't go sue them. He's like, I didn't sue the county. I didn't sue the city. I didn't see the police department. Like I fucking made some music to get my door paid for.
Afroman
I seen the corruption of the Adam county cops. Stealing money, stealing cake. When they make they traffic stops. First they screw you, then they sue you. Play games and dismiss your claims. The proofs on the Internet. Afroman will bring it to ya.
Tyler
Excellent. Excellent. Dude, I'm gonna start singing. I think that's my next thing.
Mike
Remember you made all the songs. You never released them?
Tyler
Well, yeah. One guy's gone now.
Mike
I still think you should release it on Patreon. Put a hat on. Put like A green screen background as. Like a country bar or.
Tyler
No, put the racetrack in the background. Yeah, dude, Jimmy, he was looking for a race to steal. I got the whole thing somewhere.
Mike
All right, here's another one.
Tyler
I got the whole thing somewhere. One of the things that. That really kind of upset me. I was doing an investigation as a detective, and I had to go all the way up to eastern Ohio on the Pennsylvania border. And when I walked into the deputy's room up there to talk to the doctor. But they all knew me. All knew that I've been called a thief. Lemon pound cake. You know, just. It's everywhere. You can't. I mean, you can go anywhere. And. And if people recognize you, they start that stuff, whether they're being sarcastic or. Or what. But. God. And has your image, your face been posted on some of these posts along with or in the context of a thief accusation?
Mike
Was.
Tyler
According to. He has posted my image, yes, Several times on the Internet. He sold merchandise, sweatshirts, T shirts, things of that nature at all of his venues. They. Matter of fact, they were for sale at a smoke shop here in town. Okay, we need. We need Clint to make a song about the Mr. Whitestar.
Mike
Mr. Who?
Tyler
The Mr. Whites. He's Mr. White Sauce at the Chinese place.
Mike
Oh, yeah.
Tyler
Special white.
Afroman
They found a. No kidnapping victims,
Mike
Mike. The lyrics to the song had to have taken, like, 10 minutes to write.
Tyler
I could write this song. I could write a song like this in 10 minutes. Dude, you just need the beat. Like, once you have the beat, you take.
Mike
You can make it.
Tyler
You can make this song about anything when you have the beat. Simple. Like, literally. And it just doesn't have to. It's stupid. It's supposed to be stupid and funny. But, yeah, this is a good point. This is a. There's actually a serious point to this whole thing.
Mike
What?
Tyler
The. Like, the ISO factor. Like, you don't understand how you're gonna end up drug into this. When you do dumb. When you do dumb. And this was not even like Tik Tok. This was just trying to do their job. And whatever the they did, obviously it up. But, man, when you go do dumb. I always said. I said on Night Shift last night, always assume there's a camera watching you in somebody's house and on Instagram. Is it fair to say that you have 247,000 followers?
Afroman
Yeah, I just got some of them the other day.
Tyler
You got new ones coming all the time?
Afroman
Not all the time.
Tyler
Just here lately because the trial's coming up.
Ted
Yeah.
Afroman
All the publicity from the officers lawsuit and me is running up my numbers.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
Yeah. On YouTube you have almost a million followers. 983, 000. Is that right?
Afroman
I haven't looked. It was 977 last time I looked.
Tyler
And on Tick tock you have about 392000 followers.
Afroman
I haven't looked at it, but that sounds kind of right.
Tyler
You have a large presence on social media, obviously. Correct?
Afroman
Depends on your definition of large. There's bigger people than me, but I'm.
Mike
I'm all right.
Tyler
And on Instagram. So you're claiming that is the defamation statement is that he said he had sex with your wife? Yes. That's painted you in a false light. It's caused tremendous pain in my life. I'll get to that. We have to go through false light first. So does it paint you in a false light? Yes.
Ted
That my wife is cheating on me
Tyler
with Mr. We all know that's not true.
Mike
Correct?
Ted
I don't know.
Tyler
Oh my God. Now he doesn't know his wife's bagging a dude.
Mike
I don't know.
Tyler
Job is dead. You don't know if your wife's cheating or not. You want to go there? No, I just want to ask that question because you said we don't know. I just been with that woman since middle school. I know. I would hope she would like that before dummy puts it out there for their fun and entertainment. It's happening.
Mike
I did it.
Tyler
It's a problem. So it's something we cannot verify the truth of. Look at this. This dude's a man. Is it a thing that can be verified true or false? So you're claiming that is dude. Dude. What a What a dude.
Mike
If that bro.
Tyler
Nobody. If that was me.
Mike
What'd you say?
Tyler
I would have so much fun with that if that was me getting cross examined.
Mike
I know. I mean you could almost be like, yeah, that's pretty funny. That's. You may like they fell. Right?
Tyler
You just said you don't know if your wife's cheating on you. And then he asked and you don't go there. Mr. Flat Top Guy. The did you say it for then. These are the cops. These are the cops. This is. This is. This is. This is perfect, man. These are the morons we see in those stupid videos doing dumb. Besides the pound cake doing dumb on calls. Blowing off. These are the same dude who can't have a take a joke. Yes, it's a joke, man. It's funny. There's a monster in that song. Comedians. He exaggerates for the sake of entertainment. The same thing I knew when I was watching. Watching Johnny Carson, the late night show and snl Saturday Night Live with my grandfather when I was a kid.
Mike
That's all entertainment.
Tyler
They make fun of everybody for entertainment. In my opinion. I. His wife, doggy style. Some of it was funny. Some of his jokes like those of Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor. Some of them are not tasteful, but they're still jokes.
Nick
Tasteful.
Tyler
Not everybody likes all music. There's some songs I hate. I think we can find plenty of people that find songs they do not like.
Narrator
There's a rapper and comedian.
Tyler
That's what look at the song by N.W.A are.
Mike
They caught the police
Tyler
up? Police? Carrie, print me a couple songs of rap songs. Carly B. Carly. Carly B. I find it bad to say what WAP means. Who the is Carly? Then again, I'm not the audience for that, and I know that.
Mike
Okay, first off.
Tyler
But to see my brother, this is gold.
Mike
Gold.
Tyler
Maybe you didn't. Let's see if you answer. Maybe.
Mike
Huh? I said it's just you and Mike.
Tyler
Yeah, no, it's me, Mike and.
Mike
Okay, I thought you need something. Isn't he so nice to me, everybody? Huh? Isn't he so nice? Who, me? Heather wants to know if I'm so nice. I just dropped 900. Like, I didn't. No, you just got a 300 refund. Oh, so I just dropped 600. That's just me being married. Is that.
Announcer
You got a 300 refund and paid nothing.
Mike
So there's no. We don't pay any extra money. And I got 300 back, and I'm gonna get another 10 on 5,000 back for being. For you being a better. You being a veteran. Why, what's wrong with that? No, you're about to say. You were about to say.
Announcer
Well, I was gonna say for being a veteran.
Mike
No, referring to myself.
Tyler
Still, sounds like you spent a lot of money. I don't hear any savings in there.
Mike
No, no savings. So there's a couple more.
Tyler
The good news is you get to come back and run the whole thing next week.
Mike
Yeah, a little excited.
Tyler
When do you leave?
Mike
Tonight. I'll be in a plane. Right. Tomorrow. On an airplane.
Tyler
Good for you. Never mind. Called officer Pound cakes, Mr. Foreman.
Mike
Multiple times.
Tyler
You all saved hundreds of pound cakes at work. And the context of that name comes from a music video that Mr. Foreman created. Correct.
Mike
All right, so first off, I used
Tyler
to call me the ball sucker. I mean, could I still.
Mike
This guy receiving hundreds of pound cakes at work is the funniest thing, because there's nothing malicious about it. Mike. If you got called Officer Pound Cake and it went viral, I'm bringing you hats.
Tyler
I would have merch. I would be taking pictures. This.
Mike
These guys are.
Tyler
This is your average cop.
Mike
This is.
Tyler
That makes the meme about you. This is your average cop. This is what I see these guys as. This is your average stick in the mud dude who has no sense of humor, no ability to. And then they do dumb that. This. This is cops, dude. This is alert the tone. This is. This is cops.
Mike
Keep it alive, baby.
Tyler
These are cops. But if I got nicknamed something like that, people send me power. I would make the biggest social media crave craze about it. I would be famous. I did it. Took my shirt off and danced around like a. And that worked. So let me get called Pound Cake, and I'll cap dude.
Mike
Some of the. I've been called on the Internet last year. Are you kidding me? I would take lemon pound Cake in a heartbeat.
Tyler
Good thing they didn't start sending transmissions to the studio. We wouldn't be able to move them. They're too heavy. They're too heavy. Sorry. I said it's a good thing they didn't start sending transmissions to the studio. We wouldn't be able to move them. They'd be too heavy.
Mike
That's funny.
Tyler
There's a. Yeah. FedEx package you have to deal with, too, when you get back. They keep sticking the thing on the door.
Mike
I think it's our camera.
Tyler
No, it's not. That's still. That's still negotiations. I. Yeah, I don't think.
Mike
I didn't order anything from FedEx. There's another lawsuit, probably Brent's.
Tyler
Another loss.
Mike
I remember Brent yelled at me once, and I yelled at him back, and he wasn't used to it. He kept. He would get things sent to the studio, except they don't leave it at the studio. If you get Garrett, what's that called when you got to get a signature?
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. They tell you you have to go pick it up.
Mike
Yeah. So they'd stick it on the thing. And he's like. One day he yells at him. He freaks out. Because if you just sign the back, they'll leave it. And I'm, like, looking around, I'm like, are you talking to Drew or me? I was like, because I don't work for you, dude. Like, I don't work for frcc. Like, I don't sign things for you and do things for you that where you then yell at Me for not doing them.
Tyler
Well, he doesn't really work much anyway. He has a girl doing all his every DM message answer. So not like he does much.
Mike
I cannot believe he brought back Vanessa. There's people. I still ran. I ran into a guy the other day at Liberty Risk podcast. The second guy on this trip that mentioned. He goes, I think your social media girl follows me. I was like,
Tyler
not ours.
Mike
Not ours. I was explaining to him. He goes, oh, yeah, she's definitely in it for the clout. Like, everybody can see right through it.
Tyler
Well, here's. Oh, I mean, I don't give a. Like, you can't be authentic when you have somebody else running your messages. Like, that's not authentic. Dude, I don't care what you say. I can understand when you get to like millions and millions of. It's got to be impossible. Like the fact that like certain guys answer. Like dudes almost in the millions have answered me. Pretty cool. It. I know what it's like with 80,000 when you have like 20, 000 and you are a big first responder call. Like, why do you have a chick answering your people and talking to your people and your messages? Why don't you just do it yourself? Like that seems like the right thing to do if you're in that field to me.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
And I pay. You know why they're not paying them. I'm sure he goes in Patreon, but he never did. I mean, I know he wasn't very active in this one, but I'm sure if there's money involved, then just regular dudes trying to reach out. It seems to be very hard to. He doesn't do that.
Mike
Hey, I'm gonna back out and change the date since no one reminded me that it's not the 17th.
Tyler
It can be the 17th. Welcome back. Don't forget to check out the best clothing line in the network. Copville. OG.com use code ANTIRE15 for 15 off all your cool stuff. Welcome back, man.
Mike
Yes. There's some other topics I wanted to cover. Obviously the. The. The Afroman trial is. He won it. The jury. What is it called? They. They favored him and his.
Tyler
Yeah, he. They were suing him for damages and they said no.
Mike
Yeah. And they said the deputies are actually public figures and they can't be protected under that because. Which is hilarious. Dude, they got.
Tyler
Yeah. I mean, again, that's the. Just cops are stupid like doing. And you're gonna play the other stuff, the argument. Are you gonna play all that? I saw you uploading the videos. Dominic and Fit responder.
Mike
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the next thing I was gonna get into.
Tyler
That's the thing. Because that kind of this. This kind of fits into that because God damn it, cops are stupid. And they're. They're a really good kind. I hate when I say that. But there are. They're dudes. There's a small percentage that are monsters. They don't. You don't hear from them. They post a few pictures and some cool. But they're out there busting their dick all the time. And then there's the monsters.
Mike
That's a good thing, right?
Tyler
Monsters is a good thing. Very good. Dudes do very hard and don't get recognition. They do it for the game. They're silent. And then you have the majority. And I mean, when I say majority, I'm going in the 90s of just dude. You know, it every. So I kind of, like, I started to post my own rant, but I'm getting more mature as I get really older. Like the last two shade sessions, I got left out of. I got left out of your meme and I got left out of this back and forth and I almost inserted myself because I have an opinion for both. And I'll. I'll say it on here when I. After you play them. Okay. Because there's a reason why Ted responds. And there's also some validity with. Dominic is saying.
Mike
All right, so I'm gonna go in order. Dominic po. He. It was Dominic's post first, right? Yeah, it was. This is. This is what came first.
Tyler
Yes. And it says cops are only. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Cops are the only ones who think it's a flex saying, I've got 30 years on the job. Completely accurate. Yes. 30 years of the easiest profession on the planet that is more repetitive than any other profession. Answer calls, turn corners, look at prob. Pause. Make streets, make arrests, write reports, deal with the bubble. It goes on the list. Pretty much everything that comes with the job. Now, is it the easiest job in the world? No, it is at the core. And we'll go cover it. It's. It's. I'd rather. You know. It's pretty easy if you do it right. There's bad days and there's bad things and there's catastrophic events that will make it completely bad. But it's pretty easy job if you have a brain.
Mike
Yeah. And the repetitive side of it. And Is there. And we also. We do touch on the fact that it is very mundane most the time. And we do Touch on the fact a lot that it does suck when you have to go from 0 to 100 at the gas station with a coffee in your hand. And we've, we've always recognized that. But that does not take away from the fact that 90, 95% of the time you're doing absolutely nothing and not really required to do anything.
Tyler
Listen, and I, I had my moment where, you know, I did a lot of stuff and I had my times where I was like, hey, like I, I'm. When I went to the detective division the first time, 2016, I got in that ridiculous shape. I cut down, I competed in that show. I got down to like 4% body fat. I will tell you, I'll be honest with you. My focus was the gym. Now if I got cases, I was working them, but I pretty much sat at a desk, could peck away at a computer, eat on time every day, go to the gym at the same time, zero variation. Very easy, very not could. I got a homicide at 3am of course, could take a curve. I said it last night. You have a, you stay out late, what can you do? You come in and bounce under a tree and do nothing all day. Bigger the agency, way more opportunity to do nothing. What job? Cutting grass for the county. Publix Wawa. Where you can just go to work and be like, hey, I'm gonna sit in this corner all day and do absolutely nothing and it's acceptable. So. But then there's the other side. I'm not knocking that all the bad things can happen. We're seeing it every day. We see the bad things that can happen. That's the exception. So you. There's not many jobs, like Steve says, self proclaim heroes. But for a pension and a paycheck, there's not many jobs where you can go sit and do nothing literally and make a hundred grand. So he's not all the way wrong. It's definitely not the easiest job in the world though. And I know, I think he was kind of being, you know, facetious.
Mike
Well, you touched on it a little bit on night shift last night. I just was getting shitty service, so. But I think I called all of it. When you're like, it's. It's a little bit of a mixture of Dom, smart enough to where he knows how he needs to get his message out. So he's going to put it in a paper airplane called Dominic Izzo and throw it out there. And a lot of people don't like the delivery, but.
Tyler
And it worked.
Mike
Yeah, because when you get People, now there's a little bit of behind the scenes. I don't know in this particular situation. I don't know if Dom Izzo and Dominic Izzo and Ted from Fit Responder mutually exchanged, like, messages, like, hey, let's do a. Let's do a beef. I don't know. I don't think so.
Tyler
No. I know they were following each other. I don't know that they. I don't believe that to be true.
Mike
I love that when people stop following each other. Like you. I'm not gonna follow you anymore.
Tyler
Yeah, no, they were following each. I don't know if they stopped, but I know that they. They are following each other.
Mike
I noticed that yesterday, but that's something I would like to know if it was a little bit of a. Not choreographed, but a respect thing. Like, hey, I'm going to respond to your video and I expect you to respond to mine. And I'm going to keep it respectful because I don't. I didn't see anything. All I said was both of them. And what I love is the fact that I don't think Dominic even said Ted's name at all in the second one. Ted says, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I think that's really. That's kind of a good dig. But here's. So this is Ted's response to Dominic.
Ted
Y' all know this guy? Dominic Izzo, former cop. Some of the stuff he talks about I like. I love that he's promoting better cops, fitness, and law enforcement. Some of the things he says such as women cannot be good police officers in the field, obviously ridiculous. But this is a new one for me, like, all time crazy. I've got 30 years.
Mike
Oh, you're mean. I'm not mean. I'm sorry. I have to pause it. I have to apologize. I'm sorry for being mean.
Tyler
Heather, I don't think you're mean.
Mike
Mike doesn't think I mean. You can't hear Mike right now. What'd you say? Mike? Oh, my God. Mike is not. He's not a monster like you. Yeah, I'm not a monster like you. Mike, stop.
Tyler
Oh, come on. We got feet out here in a minute. What are we doing?
Mike
Yeah, we just look like Lily and Jimmy.
Nick
Oh, my God.
Mike
You. Me? Oh, I was like, they're out of the Patreon. All right, here's more of Ted on Dominic.
Ted
He's on the job. He's saying, that's silly to brag about that as a cop because 30 years of the east, easiest profession on the planet. You're Wait, stop.
Afroman
Dude.
Ted
You're saying being a cop is the easiest profession on the planet? Dominic loves making, like, absolute statements without nuance, Right? Like, absolutely no female on the planet can be an excellent, effective officer in the field. That would be a belief of his. He says it all the time. There should be no females on patrol as a police officer, period. Hang on. If it's the easiest job on the planet, you still think they can't do it.
Tyler
That's.
Ted
That's weird, right? But here's the thing. He can't accept that there are some females who actually can be great police officers. He also can't accept the fact that being a police officer can be one of the most difficult jobs on the planet. In my 11 year law enforcement career, I worked some assignments and areas that were easier, you know, and then I worked in some assignments and beats and whatnot.
Mike
That is kind of a weird flex because when I say I worked nine years in law enforcement, I don't use it as a. Take what I'm saying, like, as. As scripture. I say it as in, like, I do know a little bit of what I'm talking about.
Tyler
Well, go ahead. I'm gonna cook. You got me. Keep going. All right.
Ted
Yep, they were very challenging and I'm stressed out and working all day. And this is the truth about first responders is depending on where you're at and what your assignment is, it could be easy. It could be very difficult. And as a first responder fitness coach, I have spoken to thousands of first responders and this is what I hear some cops have.
Tyler
That's the point right there. As a first responder fitness coach, just remember that. Go ahead.
Ted
Easy jobs. Others are getting into non stop action and they are in foot pursuits and fights and getting spit on and shootings and horrible crime scenes and ptsd. Like, honestly, I don't know how you're going to win over cops and convince them of your rhetoric if you're going to tell all of them that, hey, you have the easiest job on the planet. Like, frankly, that's insulting to many of you out there. I'm sure it is. Because I've spoken to so many cops whose mind and body has been damaged significantly from how difficult this freaking job can be. So I just want to give a shout out to you first responders out there. Yes.
Mike
So I will say this before you cook. Yes. Where the job is extremely damaging to both mind and body for cops. And guess who's out there trying to change that.
Tyler
Yeah, we are. Yeah. And the conversation is There, you know, I've drive. I've thought about this all day. Yesterday I recorded two videos I didn't post outside the gym after I worked out at Crunch.
Mike
And you're like writing letters and putting them in the drawer.
Tyler
Yeah, I was just like, I'm trying to stay out of it. So I'll do it here because these are the loyalty. And I was driving home last night and I'm looking at the construction guys working at like midnight in 95 with cars going by 90 and I'm like, they can get taken out at any moment. Not that that makes things. Here's my, my take on this one. Ted is a businessman.
Mike
Right.
Tyler
Dominic doesn't give a. Just like we don't. We have sponsors, we have followers. But I don't need, I'm not trying to sell you anything thing. I'm just trying to.
Mike
We're trying. We don't have to worry about pandering to an entire like sounding offensive. Like I can sit there and say women are terrible cops and I don't have to worry about.
Tyler
Ted has a business and part of his business is to sell workout programs. And like any for seller apologize to that dumb Haley Marbelli because he's like, oh, I pissed off females. So Ted has an interest in all this is the job, is it the easiest job on earth? No, it's very easy though. The most part of this job is very easy. I have a lot more years than that and I did a lot of things. Who cares, right? I know there's very easy days and I know they're difficult when you have a business. And it to me, he's white knighting for first of all cops. But he really twists it to the female thing because he brings the female thing up and it's not in that text or in that message because he's probably got a lot of female clients. I know firsthand what it looks like to be a real female cop. I know what it looks like and it's extremely difficult. And that's where I don't have any sympathy for the females can hate me. They can say whatever they want. They're not performing and they're not prepared to perform at a high level. And they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not. We see it every day. I know what that level looks like and it's fucking difficult because it, it what she does. It would be hard for me to keep up with that level of training and that level of commitment in a smaller frame and all that stuff. So he's white knighting for a business and it's a good attack. A lot of people don't like Izzo. It's. To me, it's like a low hanging fruit. Let me get out there and say something about a guy that everybody doesn't like. I sound like I'm being a hero for everybody.
Mike
And he is white knighting. That's a good. That's a good way to say it.
Tyler
That's what I'm doing. And it's a business decision. A very smart business decision. And that's what I want to point out is this is just a smart business decision. Go after the guy nobody likes. You know who I saw in there? I don't give a anymore. Megan McCarthy had the balls to chime in. Megan McCarthy had the ball, mind you, Both of.
Mike
I don't know. I'll get ahead of it. Both Ted and Megan have been on Anti Hero. Okay.
Tyler
Back in the day, Megan McCarthy gets in like, rah, rah, rah. She got her gun taken away, Dude. I don't. I don't want to be mean. I don't want to be mean. She got her gun taken away. Stay. Sit this one out. Sit it out. Don't.
Ted
Yeah.
Mike
Just, just sometimes, you know, like when you're in a fight, when, when you want to get in an argument with your wife and you're like that one up real bad, I'm gonna let that one go. There's gonna be another.
Tyler
All the time. Happens all the time. But I would. It's just. And that's where it's like Internet, where people just flap their mouth in comments, let the two men fight it out. You're probably not the one to get in this women debate. You got famous after the fact. You then decided to start training after the fact that instead of beforehand. And, you know, I don't. I'm glad nothing happened to her. I don't wish any harm to anybody, but I'd probably sit that one out and, you know, let the two dudes discuss it. But that's what it looked like to me was that's a good time for Ted to strike against a guy that is saying some controversial. Drives up the numbers, drives up engagement, and it's, it's smart. I just don't agree with what he's saying. Like, females have. It's very difficult for a female.
Mike
What do you think about when he said females? You're saying that this is the easiest job on the planet, yet you say females still can't even do it. And I was like, if he doubles down on it, that's even worse. That females still can't do these.
Tyler
Well, he's saying it's. If it's the easiest job in the world. I think what Ted is saying is they should be able to do it, but they. They clearly still can't in that context. But. And I don't ISO. And I disagree about a lot of things. I am okay with ripping people out car doors and windows if they don't sign a ticket or they throw it and they litter and it's illegal. I'm taking you to jail. I'm taking you jail for a container if you're gonna act like an. When I try to give you a break. He thinks that's wrong. We went at it pretty good on him the other day about it. But I can't be. I can't argue the women thing. It's just statistically what we're seeing, what he's showing is that there's a huge problem. It's not the easiest job on earth, though. And I think he was being. Doing exactly what he wanted it to do was.
Mike
There's three things that we can't ever talk about. We can. We do. We kind of joke, but, you know, like women not being good cops. Because it's a men's role. It's predominantly a men's role. It's a lot of physical attributes you have to have a lot of fighting a lot of life or death situations, maybe in one's career, like getting your gun taken away from you and possibly use against you. There's things like that. Then there's other things like you can't challenge or you can't bring up the fact like statistics and crime rates and maybe the people that do the crimes or you can't bring up, like, anything of history about World War II in the back end of why we were quote, unquote, there. Because it's Uncle. People have been conditioned that that's. Even though we all think a certain way. Like, I was on Liberty Risk yesterday, and they're great dudes. And they were kind of asking. It was really cool. I think I'm gonna go on Patreon Live later and talk about it. But they were asking me how we. How the 99% came to be. And I was like, we. And Mike just became authentic as we could. And it kind of became its own thing. And they actually, you know, somebody from the 99 actually came up with a name. We did it. And they were, like, really intrigued about our Support group and, you know, our 99. And it made me feel really proud. A. I was like, man, we got so much support that other people are like, I would love to have a group of dudes. And I'm like, well, we're there. Like, we're not on some plateau over them. We're all the same. I was like, I think that's why, because me and Mike are so real with them. And anyways, he was asking and I was like, well, I'll tell you what I was like, they were. They were asking about the show. I go, let's imagine you're in a room, right, of a hundred of your supporters of liberty risk. Let's just say there's. You bring a hundred of them in the room and you say, everybody close their eyes and go, how many of you think one demographic is louder than the other demographic? And raise your hand and then open your eyes. 99 out of 100 people are going to have their hand in the race because we all believe.
Tyler
Believe it.
Mike
We all believe it, but we. We're terrified to say it. And outside of being canceled on platforms, you don't really have to worry about if you're already kind of counterculture, you don't have to worry about being canceled. Your sponsors know who you are. Your listeners know who you are. The people that come on your show know who you are. And as long as you get good views, the sponsors and the other guests, they don't care. They'll come on anybody show.
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah. And it's across the board. It's like the whole thing about the cops, like, the whole tone alert argument is like, I get enough messages that I'm spot on about that. Most guy you were, you. You did it. You walk around the agency and go, dude, these guys are all bags, dude. Like, I work with a bunch of bags. They won't go say it. Most guys won't go say to the bags, but they're all thinking it. I think we're kind of saying out loud what everybody's thinking. And you know it. You know it. Every. All the guys at work are like, can't believe I got this chick as my backup. Like, I can't believe. But they're not gonna say it aloud. They're not gonna go to the sergeant, hey, this chick's garbage.
Mike
They're scared that sergeant even knows, but he won't say anything.
Tyler
Somebody who protects them. And you're like, yeah, don't say that one level up. Or the captain who knows her dad and they play golf together. He's gonna fire you if you get caught saying that. And I'm not saying no females can be cops. I don't, that's not my, my answer. My answer is I know what it looks like to be the exception of that female cop. And I know for a fact these chicks we're seeing on the Internet, getting hired and working are not Even putting in a 1% of the work it takes to be decent. Not even close. And the men aren't. And that is the always argument. Well, the men aren't either. No. But a normal, average sized male can fake it a little bit because of strength, size and all that stuff. You at 109 pounds, 5 foot, 109 pounds, you can't really fake it because you can't pretend you're gonna beat me up because I'm gonna go, well, that ain't happening. So what's next? Like, what's the next.
Mike
Well, they also. Men are holding men accountable. I know of one female cop and it might just because I don't know enough funny and I, I'm okay with that. But I know one female cop that's trying in a healthy and constructive way, hold female cops accountable. And that's your wife, Jojo. That's it. I don't see a large group of women mean pages, support groups going, ladies, let's get this, like, let's, let's change this. But men are doing that. We're sitting. We have entire shows based on fat dudes need to get out of law enforcement or, you know, me and you discuss mag light over BJJ over and over again into, you know, the point where it's probably a monotonous to people, but we're still trying to make change. And, you know, and I can make
Tyler
a shirt that says defund fat cops. That's a general statement, right? Everybody probably assumes male, right? If I say defund fat cops, everybody thinks of men. If I make the same shirt that says defund fat females or female, like everybody. Oh boy. Like, whoa, whoa, e, whoa. It's like, you can't. Can you say that? Like, it's like. But you can, you can. But it's like every, right away it's going to be a problem. And dude, I'm telling you, dude, just. And I, I live in, you know, 200,000, 180,000 people, whatever. We got three, 400 cops in this, in this guy, dude, they promote, they promoted a chick to sergeant, dude. It's the most diabolical promotion I've ever seen. Never worked, never did Anything. And she's worked at patrol and it's like, how does this happen? How does this happen? Yeah, she just got promoted, dudes.
Mike
So bad, man. So bad.
Tyler
And then it's like, well, we're gonna. And I've heard the sheriff say this himself. He put. They promoted a guy to the courthouse. When I first. A couple about 10 years ago, eight years ago, when they did it, they basically said, this guy can't barely speak English, he's Asian. And they promoted him. He was number one. Obviously. He takes a test very well, 100 on his test score every time. She's like, we got to promote him. So they put him in the courthouse. He can't that up. Right. Just gotta show up and stand at the door. Well, eventually you got a new sheriff. And the new sheriff comes in and goes, we're getting rid of all law enforcement in the courthouse. We're putting all corrections. This guy goes to patrol. He's a sergeant. He ended up getting demoted. I actually got his position. It's a very bad position to get because I. That I got. But I took his spot. But you can't have, like, you can't hide a sergeant. Like, I'm gonna move her to Community Affairs. Like, I'll move her there. She'll be a sergeant of a unit that does nothing. What happens when that time runs out and then you got to go put her on the road? Never gotten used to force, never been in a critical incident, never went in a stack or never pursued anybody. So how does she authorize or unauthorized a pursuit?
Mike
Nothing.
Tyler
Nothing across the board. And I'm only saying that about females because that happens to males too. I'm only saying about females because that's the only reason she got promoted, was she's a female.
Mike
Yeah. We're gonna take a quick commercial break and then I'm gonna go. I have to get coffee, but I have to go downstairs a little bit. I'm gonna try and get it done in the two and a half minutes.
Tyler
When I come back, it's a minute and a half. And I'll take care of it when you get back. All right.
Mike
BRB.
Narrator
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 corrupt our vengeance.
Tyler

You take a screenshot and send it to me.
Afroman
Yeah.
Tyler
Let's go into. Do you have the Trump thing?
Mike
Okay.
Tyler
A little one liner he dropped. We talked about it last night. We played it.
Mike
I didn't see it.
Tyler
Go to here. I'll get it. Instagram.
Mike
Trump said something. Was it a tweet?
Tyler
That was a video we played on Night Shift. I'll play it on.
Mike
Right. I'm texting Adam from Goon Tape now.
Tyler
Here we go. Here is President Trump as only he could be. There's no. Japan and us are very different. But one question. Why didn't you tell his allies in Europe and Asia about the war before attacking Iran? So we are very confused about. Well, you don't want to signal too much. You know, when we go in, we went in very hard and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
Mike
Okay.
Nick
Right.
Tyler
He's asking me now. You believe in surprise? I think much more so than us. And we had a surprise and we did. And because of that surprise, we knocked out the first two days. We probably. The dude is absolutely.
Mike
We're pitching about how we didn't let the world know about Iran.
Tyler
Yeah. And then he made the joke that you guys didn't tell us about Pearl Harbor. I mean, dude. I mean, dude. I mean, I don't know how he comes up with this, like, on the floor.
Mike
That was hilarious, dude.
Tyler
I thought he was going Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
I would be like, hey, remember that surprise we have for you guys? Yeah, I thought that's where he was going when he said that, but what a maniac, dude. What a maniac.
Mike
What did you guys cover? Oh, I missed it. I know you guys. Did you guys cover that dude? That dude stepping down from the terrorist. Counter terrorism.
Tyler
Yeah. Kent. Kent, we CC talked about a little bit. Yeah, it was.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
I don't think, I think there's more issues like they're saying, I think almost like Tucker Carlson's issues. They're saying maybe he was communicating some things that he shouldn't have been. And weird turn like. I don't know, man. I just got the update on Fox News too. We're sending the CC cover to last night. We're sending like another 2500 troops over. The marines are all right. Off the beach or they're headed there, man.
Mike
That's crazy that we can get into a war that nobody wants to be in.
Tyler
I don't, I don't. I'm here maybe. I mean, obviously, like he keeps saying, you can't follow the boats through the straight. Maybe they're going to secure. They're gonna, I think they're gonna start with, we're just gonna secure this little part right here. We're gonna draw the line. We're gonna go, hey, we're gonna secure this area around the street so that the boats can get through. And then I think eventually they're like, oh, oh, oh, wait a second. We ended up, we've ended up in the capital.
Mike
We're playing just the tip.
Tyler
Yeah. We didn't mean it, but we ended up like taking over the whole country over here. So maybe we'll air assault in.
Mike
You know, like we said before, man, we can sit here, the old dudes, and we can sit here as a nation and sit here as parents and sit here and say, we don't want to send anybody. We don't want to send our young and our, our sons. And then the 22 year old Marines are like, yeah, we'll go. Yeah, we want to go up. And a lot of people don't like us saying that, but you don't get 22 year old kids to go sign up and go through all of that just to sit on a boat. They want to go to war.
Tyler
Yeah. Parris island being screamed at for four months. They're like, hey, let me go bite somebody's nose off in war and go crazy. Like they're ready. Did you see the story about the. They're terrible. Iran. Let me find it. They.
Mike
Where's that?
Tyler
When the people are like, and I know we can't go fight everybody's war and it's up, you know, things. But this, there's a story they publicly hung like two prominent young athletes yesterday.
Mike
Iran.
Tyler
Iran. They had two athlete like wrestlers that are like world class, like Olympic wrestlers, like very big in the community, well known in Iran. And they, from what I read, they tortured them into confession that they were against God, basically against the nation. And God hung them in public like yesterday. Wow. I guess we feel more, we know they're killing people left and right. Right. So let's not, let's, let me not be stupid. Like everybody terrible. Right. Obviously when somebody dies, it's got some not or you know who they are. It always holds a little more weight. So you got, they showed these poor two guys sit there waiting to get hung like in this courtroom and they like sped the whole thing up. It wasn't like our justice system. It was 13 hour confession of like I was told, torture. From what I read like bad, convicted immediately and taken right outside. And these are like young athletes that are like good.
Mike
How does Iran still have like a government like that? I thought we were.
Tyler
I don't know. That's what I'm thinking. I'm like, how the is Iran hanging people? And even if it's a bogus trial, like I guess they're still. I thought it was on World Star. I'm trying to find the article. Oh, you know what, I sent it to my wife. Hold on, let me find it. Let me find it.
Mike
Oh, Joe 10. Joe Kent's interview on Tucker is goaded. I have to watch that.
Tyler
Here we go. Put it up.
Mike
Nick said he can answer that.
Tyler
Share screen share
Mike
19 year old man. There we go.
Tyler
So 19 year old Iranian wrestler and rising national talent was executed by hanging on March 19th in qualm after his arrest during anti regime protest on January 8, he represented Iran internationally securing a medal at the 2024 Staley Cup Freestyle wrestling funeral. Rights groups include reported that the conviction for allegedly taking the life of the security officer came from confessions obtained under torture when his family highlighted an alibi and inconsistency in the case. So they basically took. This guy's famous because I think they condemned like the women's national soccer. They called them like traitors now. So they like took somebody famous and go, okay, you want to like protest against the government, say something bad from January to March 19 to convict him and hang him in public.
Mike
Jeez man.
Tyler
So that's where I get into like you know, Mr. Communist and that everybody feel bad for everybody. Like you not feel bad. Like people like this guy that's getting hung for no reason. And I mean, I know we can't go to war every time. Horrible people.
Mike
Yeah. And I mean, how better to send a message of fear than to hang somebody that was gonna do. Like, if I was the leader of Iran, and I want everybody to fear me, I would go see this guy. He was gonna make Iran look good. I just killed him. I don't care about any of y'.
Tyler
All. It would be like going. Grabbing one of our good baseball or football players going, hey, we're going to take these guys dead. Like, he talked bad about the country. We're going to kill him. Now what? Now he's gone. Now you can't play. I can't play fantasy football with him. I look at that guy. I just. It makes that kind of stuff that. I mean, that's not nice.
Mike
Not nice.
Tyler
And then the whole country's dealing with that.
Mike
I mean, they've. They've made it. They've killed a lot of people. Yes.
Tyler
Yes. Dude,
Mike
I'm sending a link to somebody.
Tyler
So Heather's being loud, man.
Mike
I'm trying to do this from a hotel room. I got my 13 year old sleeping over there, my 7 year old rolling around a bed over here, my wife in the bathroom putting on makeup. Because as soon as I'm done with this, I've got to pack up and go. Like, we don't. We got this. Me and my oldest are leaving tonight and they're staying another couple days. My youngest and Heather. So lax. No, we're going to something like John Wayne Airport, which is a little bit less of a conundrum to get through.
Tyler
Direct flight.
Mike
Yeah. Five hours, red eye, boom, Back home
Tyler
to a nice studio. Ready to go.
Mike
Thanks, bud.
Tyler
All right. Jesus Christ.
Mike
It's him.
Tyler
I see him.
Nick
What's up?
Tyler
You look different. You change your clothes. You got a different hat on.
Mike
Who is this guy?
Nick
Shower. Shower. Shave and shoot.
Mike
Wow. Where are you going now?
Nick
Buy drugs? Meeting the plug.
Mike
Would you. I saw you. I saw you in the comments saying that you have an answer for that.
Nick
Yeah. So CC explained it last night, too. Iran is made up of like, individualized units. So if you cut the head off the snake of Iran, the body still lives and still has their marching orders. You know, it's. It's an ideology rooted in terror. They know what to do. So these localized police, you know, quote unquote police, which is more or less military, and they're just carrying out the order of the day. That has been the order of the day for the last 47 years. If you're rioting, you're going to get killed. You know, suppression, terror, you know, they took someone notable and say, hey, look, this guy did so much good for Iran. We're gonna kill this guy. What do you think we're gonna do to you?
Mike
Yeah.
Nick
You know what I mean? That's all, that's all it is, you know, and, and he made a point. It's hard to kill an ideology, but when, when the majority of the populace doesn't agree with, with the ideology. There's some life there that you can kill an ideology when the populace doesn't believe in it. And that's the case with Iran. But the, the current fighters that they armed, I guess that fizzled out. I haven't heard much about that. I know they were trying to come in through the north and, and invade Iran. I guess they still had enough proxies and units to fight that back. I haven't heard a damn thing about it. I heard where the Kurds were armed. You know, they were invading from the north. And I haven't heard a damn thing since
Tyler
work. This guy's real upset. Because I look at this like North Korea. We were talking about that yesterday. I think the President won the re election by 99.93.
Nick
Yeah.
Tyler
And it's like, who are the points that they're like? Well, their population just subtracted by. If you didn't vote.
Nick
So here's. This is a true story. In North Korea, if your house is on fire, there is a picture of the Supreme Leader in every house. If you do not get that picture out, your family, your relatives and generations to come will, will be interned in an internment camp and your life is over. You'll be executed.
Tyler
Crime. They, they take your whole bloodline. Your whole family goes for the rest of their lives.
Nick
That's, that's a picture. You need to get the picture of the supreme, you know, of Kim Jong Un out of the house or you're done. And generations.
Tyler
You know what?
Mike
I like that side. I like that style of leadership. When I come on here, I want to be greeted a certain way. I don't want to be waited on. I don't want to be waiting on other guys to finish their rant. I want the Supreme Leader to be acknowledged and then I want to be commended. And, and, and then you can't talk behind my back when I get off
Tyler
yesterday.
Nick
Yeah, you have a great throw tattoo. You're awesome. You Got a great physique. You're showing off your muscles the other day, man. You look awesome.
Mike
I was.
Tyler
I was. Nick hasn't slept in days, man. I. He didn't look at the right screen. He was looking at the wrong.
Nick
That was my boss.
Tyler
I know.
Nick
You are too. You guys both look great.
Tyler
I don't look great. Tyler's.
Nick
You look like you had a rough week, man.
Tyler
Yeah, I did. I'm the glue, man. The glue.
Mike
You look like you had a rough week. I don't know how that looks on.
Tyler
Somebody screamed at for not bringing Tyler and interrupt the conversation.
Nick
Looks like Mike's been delivering papers.
Tyler
Threw his phone down, and he picked up some food.
Mike
I dropped it out of the. Being so surprised and shocked.
Tyler
I didn't catch Peaches. They have to watch that back. I didn't catch Peach's statement.
Mike
He goes, you kidding me? I was like, are you kidding me? But I assume he was making a joke. All right, bye.
Tyler
And I told you, I did the. I did the strategic reinsertion of Nick into that. That was. That was my WWE. Vince McMahon.
Mike
Yeah, that was pretty good. I didn't know that was your take. Yeah.
Tyler
I text soon as if you guys don't know on when the commie and Nick went at it. Was it yesterday? Yeah, yesterday morning.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
I text Nick when I removed him, and I said, start yelling and just go crazy and I'm gonna accidentally bring you back in and it's gonna interrupt the conversation.
Mike
You hate capitalists.
Tyler
Oh, yeah. It was perfect, dude. I hit it. I was like, oh, I'm sorry. My bad. Like, I sent him. I was like, hey, start yelling and I'm gonna bring you back in. Tyler needs to make a mic a glue shirt. Yeah, we do need that. We need an air assault shirt. What was the other one?
Mike
No, we had a good one. Where it was glue. It was me eating it.
Tyler
I'm the glue holding this thing together. Air salt. And then there was something. What did. Somebody said it yesterday. Hold on. The. Was it.
Mike
Oh, I gotta talk to you about some.
Tyler
Hold on, hold on.
Mike
Merch opportunities.
Tyler
Go ahead on here.
Mike
Yeah, I mean, I don't care. It's not that big. Nothing really changes. It's just the guys that I was with, they run a merch supply store. And I was asking.
Tyler
That's right. Okay.
Mike
I was asking them how they compete with drop shipping. And they're like, we can't. They're like, we actually had to base a new business model off of. We do now print on demand. And I was like, so you guys would essentially be the drop shippers. He's like, yeah, we take over. We go in the back end of your website and we fulfill all shipping like they would. And he's like, I'm like. I was like, what's the. I was like, what's the. What's the benefit for us? And he was like, well, I would be your direct liaison. If there was an issue with an order, they would talk to me rather than have to go through Shop or Printify. I was like, it would.
Tyler
It would come down to the only good thing with them is shipping.
Mike
And they said. They said they bill us at the end of the month, we keep everything as opposed to. They like, they take from. As we get it. They do the reverse.
Tyler
Yeah, that's how my Zen tins and all that stuff is done. I. I get a bill at the end of the month for everything sold and then I pay the difference. But I think what would be better with them is Shopify and Printify don't give a about shipping and checking the better rates. They just charge you whatever the. They want to charge you. Where if you have a pirate ship account, these guys probably do. You can use pirate ship and get better shipping rates, which would probably help cost. And then. Yeah, I mean, I'm not opposed to it.
Mike
Yeah. I told him. I was like, between all of us, I was like, we have a lot of dudes. We all use drop shipping because he want. He wants counterculture. But he's like. He's like, ideally, yes, a company wants to get inventory, but he's like, to get. There is just nobody does it right now. And I was like, yeah. I was like, anti hero. I was like, Mike. I was like, Justin, Nick. I was like, everybody's got shops, but they. No one's gonna hold.
Tyler
Only way to beat the only. And it's not terrible. It'd have to be. We're not there yet, but we could get. There would be. You can get a. One of those printers for four grand, five grand for like a real good shirt printer. And then you just buy the, you know, regular. Just a shirt blanks and we do our own print on demand. It's possible. No, it's not terrible, dude, I'm telling you, the girl I got, the girl I almost went with here in Vero, I still may go back with. We go to South Carolina, see her and just have her do me up like a bulk order. It's not terrible. And it would be. We could fit it in the back.
Mike
I'm not Doing that. You gonna. Are you gonna stay after you just drove?
Tyler
Yeah.
Mike
Three hours.
Tyler
Yeah.
Mike
Do a two hour broadcast. I got a feeling.
Tyler
I got a feeling I'm gonna end up being there Wednesdays now because I know we got some guests lining up that are gonna probably be in studio stuff, and it seems like I'd rather do guest in studio if we can.
Mike
Yeah. So let's pay Lewis more than my calculations. I worked 17 minutes over.
Tyler
Lewis is. I think you and Jimmy are like, the problem. Lewis has been on the ball, man. Lewis is like, maybe, you know, he's probably nervous with both of us there. Like, he seemed like he knows the other person is not like the boss, so he's only got one boss to worry about. And he. Now he had. He was doing good. He like one time during the show, I looked over and he was like, he was starting to go on his phone, and then he switched the camera and I gave him the old. I didn't say anything. I just gave him the old. And he put the phone down and then that was it. And I. It's funny that he, like, likes to be on camera, but he doesn't want to say it. Like, I saw the end of the show coming. I started looking at the watch and we ever ran over. We went to like 10 after, and he was looking and I'm looking and I could see him, like, picking his Rubik's Q, like, waiting for me to say, all right, Lewis, come over here.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
Last night he was, like, starting to get antsy because he knew the Rubik's Q was there and he brought it. And then he, like, want, you know, he wants to do it. He doesn't want to tell you, but he's like, man, that Rubik's cube really looks cool right there. He was, like, starting to get excited about it. Then he ripped off like a 9.3 last night, man. Just smoked it.
Mike
Oh, really?
Tyler
Yeah, he had a good one. A good one. And then he, like. He messed up once and he was showing everybody's thumb. He's like, mom, I got a little injury in the thumb. He was shaking the thumb around. I love it, dude. I love it.
Mike
Yeah. So we'll have to. I would love to do more in studio. I mean, obviously we've talked about the main goal. The main goal, when we're fully up and financially running great, is every day in studio. But then things have to change because I know Mike's not staying for night shift on Thursday, so we'd have to come up with, like a New night shift or a new house?
Tyler
Or stay now already, huh? I already do stay. What are you talking about?
Mike
No, I'm saying if we went. If we in the future, if this was a five day a week operation. You're not coming back Monday morning?
Tyler
No, I would have to sleep and I would just sleep, stay there Thursday night, Friday, and then leave. I could just get. I could get hammered. I could get hammered drunk and sleep on the couch.
Mike
I remember you looking me dead in the face and go, I'm not staying here.
Tyler
I mean, if there's things involved that are. If the business is booming, I mean, you gotta. You gotta do what you got to do. I think Gator is going to be a staple pretty much on night shift.
Mike
That's what we've been looking for, to be stable. That doesn't show up every week. I'm not hiding it anymore. Matt every week cancels on us. Oh, I have a client at the gym. I'm gonna be there next week. Now I'm gonna be there every single week. Matt cancels on us. So at the end of the day, it's like, we didn't put it in his contract. Daddy has to show up. X amount of night shifts. We probably should, and we can probably alter it, but I think Gator is
Tyler
going to be a pretty. I felt bad for Cece. Got me real good last night. I didn't realize this. So, you know, I was saying this, you know that, and you started it. But the show. But I remember when I first started coming on, you get that like, new date feeling. You're like, I want to see. I want to see her every night. I want to go outside. I was like, let me come on. Let me come on. Then when you start driving twice a week, two hours each way, it's not as cool anymore. So I told Cece. He came Monday. I told Cece, I'm like, hey, I got Peach for Thursday. Thinking I'm doing him a favor. Yeah, like, hey, man, you're good. I don't take into consideration that he's breaking into the game and he wants to be. He's like, bro, man, I was gonna come, my wife was gonna come. We're gonna spend the whole day in Orlando. We were gonna go hosting the more. And I'm like, you could have came too. We could have three of us out here. And he's like, no, you told me not to come. I'm like, I didn't tell you not to come. Like, I told you that Pete was already here, but he gave me the whole sob story on. Right on. Live on Night Shift. Like, I'm an. And I'm trying to explain. Like, I don't want to come. Like, I want. I want the show to see. But I could be like, Tyler was like, hey, just stay. All right. Like, but I'm. But I can see behind your desk. Okay, bye. So, no, but I was like, oh, dude, I feel terrible. Like, any. Like. So, like, my point to that was, anybody that wants to come to the studio, you're absolutely welcome. Day shift, during the day, night shift, you can sit. You don't have to be on camera. Anytime you're close by, you want to come see us. Absolutely. That's what this is for.
Mike
Yeah, I see this. I'll see if CC wants to come Monday morning. Because as far as I know, Monday. Monday morning is just me and the correspondence. So.
Tyler
Yeah, I mean, he. You're invited. He's going to be on open mic at three. Not you're not gonna be there, but maybe pop in and ask them confirm it.
Mike
Like, ask him on. On there.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, come on. Put them on the spot. Be like, hey, I heard you were, like, real upset. Mike, for you. So, yeah, CT's probably sleeping. He left late last night. Yeah, he wakes up and drinks a beer. Do you know he wakes up and drinks a beer?
Mike
Yeah, I know that. I wasn't gonna say that, but.
Tyler
No, he told him it. Talked about last night, so I'm talking about it.
Mike
He told me that out.
Tyler
I'm like, are you like. But not like. Not like a Bud Light or a Michelo. He drinks like a ipa, I guess it's like coffee. Maybe like coffee. It's like a flavorful, nice way to stop the shit.
Mike
Take heroin. He takes fentanyl. All right?
Tyler
He's really very light. Light. He's a five milligram oxycodone. Snorts them. Doesn't shoot him up like all them scumbags. Just does it nice and easy, so.
Mike
I'm kidding. I've never seen CC drunk. I will say that.
Tyler
No, he had one beer last night. He had one beer. He dried one beer before he left. They. We got the pizza at one beer. That was it.
Mike
Justin's telling you to look at your text messages.
Tyler
God.
Mike
And then Nick is saying, what the.
Tyler
Hold on. This is good. AI AI is the genius send. Huh?
Mike
Okay,
Tyler
hold on.
Mike
This Asian accents everybody's doing in. The comments are pretty funny.
Tyler
This is the new newest item going up on Cottville store. If you guys need to get yourself some will be Available today after the show. That is the glue that's holding this network together. We'll get you guys some. Just, just don't apply it to the wrong spot or you'll end up on the dollar menu for a long time. So get yourself some counterculture glue. You can use goon tape combined with the glue and really hold the network together completely. I have a great time. Just. Sorry, but I joke. I'm completely joking. It's a, it's a, A play. It's a Vince McMahon WWE play. I have no issue with this. I love you guys. Love the. Went live for a real good while yesterday. I was in the studio board about an hour on Patreon yesterday, kind of shooting the. With the 99.
Mike
You want an hour on Patreon?
Tyler
It was pretty long, but man.
Mike
Yeah, Mike's trying to, Mike's trying to do whatever he can before he goes on that 10 day cruise.
Tyler
I think I'm gonna bring, I'm gonna bring my computer. So we'll, we'll be live out there. Well, I'm gonna do it different this time too. I'm gonna go. No excursions. I have no planned excursions. It's just going to be completely winging. If I end up kidnapped in like Jamaica, it's because I got the wrong car and went with the wrong person to get jerk chicken and I didn't make it back. Yeah, I heard another cool thing. I wanted to try it. My wife dared me, but I'm not going to do it. Apparently you can't wear camouflage in any Caribbean country. And I didn't know this and I have like camouflage shorts and they say you will be like detained. She's like, she's like, you should bring the glasses and wear the camouflage. And I'm like, yeah, Jamaica, I would with that.
Mike
No.
Tyler
But I just can't believe I haven't done it because I have like two pairs of camouflage shorts. I guess I just never.
Mike
Just by chance you've never worn them
Tyler
wear them on a port day because they were serious. They're like, you'll be detained, fined. It's like considered impersonating the military in that country. No, I.
Mike
An American on a cruise line. How are you supposed to know that? They don't tell you that when you get off the show.
Tyler
My wife said like that should be the first announcement like hey, don't wear camouflage.
Mike
Or they should be like, hey, listen, we're not gonna come to your shitty country if you detain American citizens.
Tyler
She also said that they probably when you have to scan out. When you go off the board boat, you have to scan. They'll. They'll probably like, hey, dude, you can't, you can't wear those. Part of me wants to try it. I know, like running down the dock.
Mike
American.
Tyler
I'm not a positive. I'm not a net positive. I'm not a net positive. Running down the dock.
Mike
Can you imagine Jimmy on a cruise?
Tyler
No. I saw a comment today.
Mike
Dress up, like apron.
Tyler
I don't know what kind of cruise it was, but it was African American people that went onto a beach and got some type of service like in another country from other African American people or. And they didn't pay. And the people from the port destination beat the brakes off the people that didn't pay. And there was like video of it. The caption was when black meets blacker, They're beating them with chairs and they're beating the brakes off these tourists. The Americans on the beach, they didn't pay. Somebody dude picked up a rock on the beach, was like trying to throw it at him.
Mike
Like
Tyler
there's no rules in some of those countries, man.
Mike
Did you want to touch upon before we end it? I'm gonna have to end it a little early today. I've got. I gotta get out of here, you know. Unless Mike wants to stay on and be the glue. I'm assuming he doesn't.
Tyler
No, I'm done.
Mike
Did you wanna. Do you want to cover the Boston thing?
Tyler
Information? Yeah, you can cover it. There's no video out yet, but if you want to hit this real quick,
Mike
let me add it.
Announcer
Dozens of Boston police officers filled the Roxbury courthouse Thursday as their fellow officer Nicholas o' Malley was arraigned on the charge of manslaughter. It's reported that he shot and killed 39 year old Stevenson King, who was the suspect in a Roxbury carjacking last week.
Mike
Commonwealth versus Nicholas o'. Malley.
Announcer
Assistant district attorney Ian Pollen Bomb and defense attorney Ken Anderson painted different pictures of what happened that night. Court documents indicate o' Malley and another responding officer parked behind the suspect approached the car and gave several verbal commands to the suspect before officer o' Malley told the suspect he was going to shoot him. At that point, it was reported the suspect backed into the cruiser behind him and tried to maneuver to escape police. That's when officer o' Malley shot the suspect three times through the car window. The defense stated Officer o' Malley was concerned for the safety of his fellow officer. While the commonwealth told the judge OMalley's partner was in more danger from the shots fired than the driver's vehicle. Outside court, the assistant district attorney and police union present both addressed those comments.
Tyler
This is that extremely unusual case, fortunately where we do not believe believe that either the perception of danger, if that was his perception or the actions he took in response were reasonable. Do you believe. I don't take any. Like that guy is a career prosecutor. I'm not saying what happened. I haven't seen it yet. But that guy doesn't know what the he's talking about. I can just tell from those shaking.
Mike
Yeah.
Tyler
He's never been on the street. He's never done anything. His perception really is nothing. That's like I watch a bunch of cop movies and I'm gonna go ahead and tell you what the perception is because a guy's never put his feet on the ground actually done the job. He's a cop. Could be guilty. I don't know. That's my perception of that guy. So anyway, actually gonna come out. That officer was in fear of his partner. It's very easy on Monday morning to take a look at a body camera camera and try to determine what an officer felt from your point of view.
Announcer
Body worn camera footage was a big topic during Thursday's proceedings, though we're told neither the DA's office nor the police department will be releasing it to the public at this time. Dozens.
Mike
That's interesting. Yeah.
Tyler
It's going to come down from. I got it from somebody up there and I've been. I know my wife's following a little bit. It sounds like it's to be a. I think it's going to look similar to like the Renee good shooting. I don't know that he was ever in front. He alleges it's a carjack. You know, it's not a lady protesting.
Mike
Yeah, we're taking it off with a forcible felony.
Tyler
You're gonna have. You're gonna have that right down the middle. You're gonna have Make America great again is going to say that guy shouldn't have been resisting. Shoot them all. I get it. And then you're gonna have. Oh, that poor guy was trying to. He was just trying to get away. He didn't deserve it. And then you're gonna have people that try to see both sides of it and and determine whether or not are we gonna.
Mike
Are we gonna go full on. Are we gonna make Officer o' Malley like our first like project. We got into Sal's thing kind of late.
Tyler
I mean I gotta see it. I have to be 100 behind it.
Mike
But if it.
Tyler
If it is, indeed, looks to me
Mike
cops out to drive for doing their jobs, man.
Tyler
Yeah. I mean, if it's light, if that's what it is, then yes, I would. You know, and I'm not as smart as my wife. There's a case law that's bouncing back and forth between the. The Supreme Court, that case that talks about leading up to the event or it occur, you know, what happens right at that moment. And some of the arguments, even the Supreme Court, she was reading it to me this morning, were like, well, what if the guy was going to pull away and merge into traffic and he could cause harm? You could shoot him. Like, it was Kavanaugh, I believe that said something very like, they're getting in a lot of what ifs, and we. We can't go too far that way. Like, I pull you over and you're gonna flee. So it's like, well, we're near a busy road, and you could go on the road and run over a little kid, and there could be a little kid playing in the road and you kill him. So I'm gonna shoot you. Like, you can't go crazy with the what ifs, and all these things can happen. You can't jump in front of the car. We know that. We know that. That's not going to stop the car from fleeing, even shooting them a lot of the times, even if you miss or you nick them, that's not going to stop them from fleeing. And then in renegade Renee Good's case, you saw that they shot her, and then she drove down the road, sped down the road and crashed into something else. So it's like, a lot of things can happen, and I think, you know, what if?
Mike
So you need to be able to be able to say, I saw a kid on the sidewalk.
Tyler
Yeah, that's like saying a guy's running away from me. I can't see his hand, so I shot him in the back because he might have had a gun. Didn't see one. Didn't. I've never thought he had one. But I know a lot of people know. I know a lot of guys are carrying guns. And I. He. Maybe he had one. D A Izzo. We'll see what Izzo says. I'm sure he'll wait for the video to come out, and then we'll all wait and we'll. We'll be divided. We'll. We'll figure it out. But if it. It is.

Mike
That was a fun day. I got pictures I'm gonna post of. Of me and six Jedi. It was cool they took care of my son, which is. That's a. That's a cop thing right there that you just can't. Like when people say, like, I'm just so in debt for you. For what? You know, the, the niceness he showed my family. Like, they, you know, they were really nice to my son, you know, all the people that we met, he introduced us to. So it was really cool.

This episode swings deftly from raw cop-to-cop talk to viral meme culture to legal commentary and back. The highlight is the scathing, hilarious deconstruction of Afroman’s viral "lemon pound cake" moment and the failed lawsuit against him by the very officers who made themselves memes—serving as a cultural and legal touchstone for the power of social media, free speech, and public accountability. The hosts never shy away from controversy, making this episode ideal for listeners who thrive on candor, do-not-care radio, and a blue-collar approach to news and commentary.
