The hosts swap war stories, debate recent incidents, break down wild viral videos, and share hard-won perspectives from the front lines—always with their signature banter and gallows humor. In this episode, they range from discussing policing tactics and de-escalation to TSA chaos, government shutdowns, the state of America’s cities, and memorable moments from both their service and fast food jobs.

I got one in the middle. I did everything I was supposed to do. Do you see that? Way better than Tyler does it. I would. I would think, right?

[Nick]

That was a one shot, too.

[Mike]

That was all in one. He didn't have to look over at me. I didn't have to look over at him. He's on the train, enjoying himself.

[Nick]

I'm out of coffee.

[Mike]

I'm almost out of my crave. I got three more in there. One more serving and then I gotta order more. They are it. Peach. What's the word, my man?

[Nick]

Now, I'm trying to get this computer to work. So I got you on the phone right now.

[Mike]

It's all right. You got. We've been talking to your friend there, the marine, your fellow marine there, the commie. How do you feel about him

[Nick]

again? It's kind of one of those things. It's like you've never been to war. I don't think you can talk about, you know, the feelings or everybody gets political, you know, Nowadays it's the big topic. It's the cool thing to do, is get political. But the fact that he was a marine or is still Marine, whatever he is, whatever he claims to be, always a Marine, right? Yeah. I mean, when you're making money, you're going to claim to be a Marine. Because I think if he took that off, he wouldn't be as useful or you know, as he should be if he didn't claim the Marine. Because he could just say he's a veteran, but he has to put on there that he's a Marine.

[Mike]

You know, let me get this real quick. Crave this, as somebody's asking. This is creatine gummies. So when your creatine is very important for you, it's actually showing. It's better for your mental health. Helps with the pump, muscle growth, your body. You should take in at least 5 grams of creatine a day. Crave is one of our OG sponsors that has real creatine. It's not gooey. Ooey. It's actually good. When I say good, it's good, but you can taste the creatine in it. So that's why we jumped on board with them. So go to trycrave.com and use code ANTI HERO. 15 for 15 off. You definitely gotta take creatine. I'm lazy. I got somebody smoked me in the comments. It's like, oh, look at these, dude. Too lazy to take creatine in the powder form. I am. I'm a little baby when it comes to certain things and I prefer simple.

[Nick]

So yeah, I still take adult gummies. Like what, Multivitamin adult gummies?

[Mike]

Yes. If there is a gummy available, it just makes sense. I'm not talking about the gummy. You get like a Clint story where she pulls her teeth out. That's a different version of a gummy. Clint knows about the gummies, I'm sure, but I'm talking about gummies that you eat. For sure. It's easier to take it. I'm. I'm a baby. I got powder creatine all over the place. I never took it. I got sick of creatine. So we have an action packed show for today. Hummer from a gummer.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Somebody asked. I don't know why Tyler didn't fly. He's on a train. I think he's just now passing Jacksonville. He's been on the train for 12 hours. He told me.

[Nick]

Is he on the. Is he on the death train?

[Mike]

He's on a train to Cali, dude. Train to Cali. And he said it's like a airplane seat.

[Peach]

But

[Mike]

if somebody's calling in already, give me a minute. We'll take Calls, I promise. Give me. I'll cue you guys to make the calls. Unless it's a pill collector.

[Nick]

So is it like a cruise that's like all exclusive?

[Mike]

Like. No, no, no. He said there's homeless people wandering around. It's like a plane. Coach plane with community bathroom. He said the seat is a little bit better. It, like, lays down. But I don't know what his. Tyler looks like. Tyler. I don't know what his signal is like, because last night he was having trouble on the train. But. Yeah, we'll get to some calls in a little bit. I think I got. Here's what I think happened last night. If you guys were watching. The Bluetooth wasn't working because I believe Justin came in the studio as another host. Oh. Making changes so my Bluetooth wouldn't work. But it's working today, and I'll prove it, because I'm going to show you guys Bluetooth, no wires. So you can hear the. You can hear Dolph there. So we got Bluetooth capabilities. Yeah. So Tyler decided to. Instead of taking a cruise like me and being out at sea for five, six, seven days, he decided to take a train halfway across the country. So that's where he's at. I'm gonna show you a picture. Tell me what thing. What you think. That's a Camden County, New Jersey. Camden, New Jersey, one of the roughest places. That's a patrol captain or captain. That can that was sent to me this morning. What do you think of that? I don't hear peach. Sorry. There you go.

[Nick]

These people.

[Mike]

Tyler should have shipped himself. That's a pretty. He's right. He could have put himself in Amazon. He'd have been there in, like two days. But I think they would have flew him. That would have defeated the purpose of the train. I have a buddy called Buddy, you know, Belly. I'm not gonna say his real name. Belly messaged me, and he's got a package coming from Italy to him, and it's parts for a motorcycle. And he got a notice from DHS that they're doing a search warrant on his package. Like, he was, like, checking the. He's checking. And this would be interesting because I'd like to see the Nexus or what the actual probable cause was, but he said me an update and he said he called the Postal Master and they said they took his package and they're executing a search warrant. He's like, well, I just given you consent. He's like, it's plastic fenders for motorcycle. So interesting that the Fed Seized it. And I'm trying to think of scenarios where you would be able to, like, articulate probable cause, unless it was, like, next to a bunch of Chinese people. I mean, fentanyl. And then. Yeah, that's all I can think with.

[Nick]

It being belly, though, I can kind of understand. Yeah, belly is a while.

[Mike]

A false positive from a canine lie. All right, we'll go. I'm gonna watch some video. I got some videos. And then once we hit the halfway point. Yeah, you keep. You keep chugging along there, man. We're here for you. What's up, Slater? Everybody's here. All the dudes are here. We appreciate it. And we had a Clint story last night, and we're gonna get to some stories today, and we're gonna get to some video as soon as Peach gets ready. You're good, man. Take your time. We got all day. That was a loan request, the stat. So you guys must get my phone number out for, like, loans, because I get a 30 calls a day about the status of my loans. Hello, Mr. This is Tyrone calling from your loan department. And we have a status for your loan, please. Plus one for English. That's what I usually get. And I block them, and I get 300 more a day. Pride. What's up, Nick? What's up? We got everybody here. Boom, boom, boom. All the boys are here. You ready? I got a video.

[Peach]

Man showed up to the car wash

[Mike]

throwing around an ax. This worker waited till he puts it down. Boom. Comes in, beautiful outside trip takes him down. He's gonna go right to quarter mount. He's just controlling him. This guy's definitely a Jiu Jitsu guy. I absolutely love it. Well done, my man. Well done. I want to point out this. Point this out. We talk. Tyler likes to. On Jiu Jitsu. I think Jiu Jitsu is great. This is a guy with an ax. These are car wash employees. These aren't cops. These aren't security. These are car wash employees that see a dude with an ax and say, hey, we got to do something about this. And again, minimal. Minimal. They're calling you a boomer, trying to figure out your electronics. Minimal amount of force used. The fact that he doesn't wait, doesn't kill him. Like, he could shoot him. He could do all that stuff. But why again? Watch this. I'm gonna take the voice off this time so you can focus. Just watch this takedown.

[Nick]

Funny.

[Mike]

Look at that. Boom. Leg sweep mount. Dude's done. Nope. No distractionary blows. No nothing. Nick, you're always welcome. I know you got a busy day today. Rumor Peach is ready. Headset's coming. Copy.

[Nick]

It's coming.

[Mike]

You're coming. Let me get. Let me get Nick an invite sent.

[Nick]

I got a new computer, so I had to, like, redo everything. And it's not as fast as I thought.

[Mike]

It was kind of like, Lewis, man, as the show's starting, it's like, hey, let's. Let's throw a Hailman. He started doing it the other day. He started throwing a Hail Mary at the computer, and Tyler watched him, like, start to click, and he's like, don't touch it, Lewis. Don't touch it. He's like, no, I'll just. I'll just change every setting known to man real quick. I'll send you the link now, Nick. That way you have it. You pop in when you want, put your pants on, get your hot dog and beer ready. The link is sent, reaching. And Tyler's like, don't touch it. And Lewis will start reaching a little further. And he. I said it yesterday. He self. Diagnosed his own. His own malfunction. He looked right at us and he goes, malfunction. And he was like. Knew he was having a malfunction. Like, self AI, Diagnosed his own malfunction. All right, what else we got here? I got some other stuff in here. When the cops start looking like this, when the cops are not as big as the lady in Records, we have a problem. So I keep talking about female cops. I keep talking about the side. There's a little Bonnie. Bonnie. And records is swearing her in. City clerk, Mrs. Dale Arrington. Probably a nice lady. Probably gets the super white sauce with Clint. Probably gets, like, the numbers, you know, L13 on the menu at the Chinese place. Very calmly. She's a nice lady, right? Got her slacks. She's got her pants on there. Look at the size of the female cop that's swearing in. Like, she's smaller than Miss. Miss Clark there.

[Clint]

Miss.

[Mike]

You know, Miss Dale. But problem, epidemic, pandemic, whatever you want to call it. 30 by 30. Look how tiny she is. That. You're entered again. Which one do you want to be? You're in here twice, and he's gone. He's back.

[Nick]

Can you hear me?

[Mike]

Yeah. Now you can move the camera. We're almost there.

[Nick]

Whom am I at? Stuck.

[Mike]

I don't think the mic's working, though. It sounds very sus. This is. It sounds okay if that's. I don't know if that's the mic, though. Check your audio settings. Welcome to Health Tech Support. This is Your host, Kevin speaking. We would like to help you get your audio working.

[Nick]

Gotta get mine figured out first.

[Mike]

Come on. We're gonna just sit and watch Peach try to get his. His situation under control. You guys can entertain us in the chat. Tyler is gay. Does Peach have a crayon stuck? He probably does. Yeah, buddy. Peach, we're halfway there.

[Nick]

Halfway.

[Mike]

There it is. There it is.

[Nick]

Wow. Told you, Nuke. It's a whole new setup. I gotta redo it.

[Mike]

Let's go over here. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. And we're live. Here we are back with Dance. I hear a broadcast. It's casual Friday. Don't forget to check out. We're back. All right, Peach is ready. We got the comments. Rolling. Phones are open. Sounds very bathroomy. It sounds better. Looks like my last night. No, I'm good. Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. Only took. Hey, I got the. The phone is working. It was Justin's fault. I figured it out. Do racist voice impressions. I don't. What is racist? I don't even. I'm not racist. I don't know how to do an impression.

[Nick]

You're Chinese. You're Chinese. One.

[Mike]

That's not racist.

[Nick]

Is it racist for weak? Yes. So, okay, I guess I got.

[Mike]

I got videos. I got more. What do we got? Oh, here's a good one. Speaking of racism. This is not racist. So I want.

[Nick]

Talk about. Let's not talk about train wrecks when Tyler's on a train.

[Mike]

Yeah, Tyler's on a train. Say that. So I want. I'm. I want to play this eventually for the. For the commie. But I want you guys to watch this video and how they feel about homosexuality in this country. What's up, Nate? Do a Tyler Lisp impressing impression. I don't think I can maybe come to make a call in. But let's watch this video.

[Caller]

Here in our. Africa. Here in Senegal, we don't accept this homosexuality. That's not in our culture. That's not in our tradition.

[Mike]

10 years in prison for same sex marriage. Finance Des association. The lgbtq. So he said LGBTQ is a poison to their culture and same sex marriage is 10 years. So I would be interested to play that for the commie because he is probably gay and pro everything. And he's pro.

[Nick]

Go ahead. You could say it. He's gay.

[Mike]

Well, he is. I don't know. Yes. I don't know what he is. He's cis. Trans fluid blinker.

[Nick]

He identifies himself as he. Him on his. I'm not. This is. See, this is the thing with these. These people. Okay, so this is a problem that I have. It's. When we talk, we bring you on the podcast, and then you're gonna force things saying like, oh, well, that's not. What was. What did he say when we called? It said something about retard. That's not.

[Mike]

Yeah, you can't say retard. You can't say.

[Nick]

I could say what the. I want that. That's why I became a Marine. That's why I did the things I did. Just the fact is, when I get out, I can say whatever the I want. We still have a free country. But the fact that you did whatever you did, and now you're telling me I can't, or it's frowned upon you.

[Mike]

I just don't care, because these are two. This is his group. He's definitely pro Black male, like, 100 Black man. And then here is black people saying that his choice to be gay over there, he would be murdered or put in prison for 10 years. And it's against their culture. So where does he. Where would he fall? That's an interesting line I would like to tell. I'd like him to tell the Africans, the real Africans, the people that are still in Africa, how they're wrong and they've been oppressed and they're wrong, but they don't like his people that are gay. So I would like to. I'm gonna have to play that for him. I know he's not gonna answer the question. He was going to tell me that white people caused all the problems, and that's my fault, that those people.

[Nick]

He'll veer off the question.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Nick]

It's one of, like. It's becoming a. A thing. It keeps happening over and over. We. He comes on, and I'm waiting, Like, I hear this great question, and it's like, yes. And then he, like, veers off, and I'm like, why. Why is he even. What are we doing? He hasn't answered one legit question yet. It always comes back to white people or it comes back to the government, or it comes back to somebody else's problem. I don't think there's any ownership whatsoever.

[Mike]

You want them next week?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mike]

All right. Next week. If Peach is available next Thursday instead, we'll. We'll g. Money. Got it this week. This week it'll be Peach versus the Commie next Thursday. Oh, I'll be there, too. It'll be just us. Yeah. I need a host. You want to come. You want to come to the studio Thursday? Let Me know if you can Thursday you can come, right? You can be in the studio. Dude, the boss is on vacation all week. I got. I got. I have a host Thursday. Monday. I need a host for Thursday in studio. You can't. You can. I'll get somebody else, but you can either way if you want to come on the. You can debate.

[Nick]

Yeah, as of right now. Yeah, I'm good.

[Mike]

Okay. I need you.

[Nick]

I got limo stuff two days every time.

[Mike]

Good. But yeah, let me know Thursday. You can come over on stay for. You can stay the whole night. Stay the night shift. I got CC coming in studio Monday. I got Cece coming back Thursday night for the night shift. Thursday morning though, I need an in studio host. That would be a good time for you in the commie to have a nice conversation.

[Nick]

I'll take a bike in it before or 6.

[Mike]

What do we not start? So it really disappointed we didn't start the show with a land acknowledgment. I don't know what that means. Too stupid. Peach's arms are too big for the studio. Yeah, but you're right. No. Who's taller? You. I think Tyler's got you a little bit, doesn't he?

[Nick]

Tyler? I think.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Nick]

Look at the pictures.

[Mike]

He'll on you. Probably not. Because if you. If he would have on you by now, he was. He's probably not. All right, I got some more video. I got a pretty interesting one here. An absolute show. I think this is a. Yeah, here we go. This is a. This is. So I talked to my wife about this call. What I'm getting ready for you guys. It's like two minutes. It's a very interesting video. This to me. I'm going to preface it with you can train all your life. You can be. You can go through the book, you can go through the range. Some of these calls, you can throw all that out. You have to have the it factor and you have to be able to think quick, be savvy. But this one is a rough, rough one. I'm gonna play it now. Hey, man, let me see your hands real quick. Are you the one who's got the machete? Oh, my dad. Your dad has a machete? Okay. Where's your dad at? What's your dad's name? What's your dad's name? What's your dad's name, man? Who all's in the house? Who all's in the house, man? Well, I'm trying to figure out who's. Who's. So this Is a call. Mental health call. You hear? First kid comes out dressed, he's like, my dad. This kid's like. Comes out. Who's got a machete? My dad. I don't want to talk. You can hear the dad yelling inside. This is a. This is one of those calls. It sucks. So let's watch it continue to unfold. Got a machete and what's going on? My dad. Does he have it in his hand right now? Yep. Okay, who else is in the house?

[Nick]

Mama.

[Mike]

So you got another lady. Got mama in the house, dad with a machete. Two kids outside. Looks like he's by himself right now. Maybe backup's coming. Okay, Get the back. Now you got the kid threatening him, like, coming up on him. Dad's got a machete in his hand. Yeah. Get the back. You get. Step it up.

[Nick]

Stay out here.

[Mike]

Just stay out here. Stay out here. Up. I'm trying to figure out what's going on and trying to help you out. Let me talk.

[Nick]

Back the up.

[Justin]

Hey, come out here.

[Mike]

Come out here. Get out here.

[Caller]

Stop it.

[Mike]

You're gonna hurt.

[Caller]

Stop it. They're not gonna try and hurt him.

[Clint]

Please.

[Caller]

You're gonna make me.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Justin]

Grab him.

[Mike]

Let the. Dad's in the house with the machete. Let the.

[Clint]

Stop it.

[Mike]

Let the go. Let the go. I said let go. Hey. Get the back now. Get the back or you're gonna get shot. So this is somebody saying so much with de escalation. I. I don't. You. I don't know what way you're going with that, but this is a disaster. Like, this is a disaster. Like, you have, obviously. What I see is kids that know Dad's got problems, they don't want him to get shot. I'm sure he's got a machete. Seems like one of those neighborhoods. Maybe their tree is a little straight, doesn't have many branches, but it's like, what a show for these guys. Like, these cops. This one. I don't envy them. You're gonna get your dad.

[Justin]

Sh.

[Mike]

Not. Get the back. Get your hands. Hey. Get back inside. We'll talk. Get the back inside and we'll talk. Today. You taking. I have plans today. What a shitty thing to hear, man. Like, the family's in disarray. Another step, you're going to get shot.

[Caller]

You did.

[Clint]

You.

[Mike]

You killed, and it ends there. What do you think about that one?

[Nick]

I mean, justifiably, yes. Like, all day, right? But what I have always been taught and kind of experience was. I mean, I don't think I've ever been in like that hectic. I did one with a. With a guy with a gun. I wonder if you were there for that one Marine. It was a Marine veteran, had a gun. I was an FTO for that too. Everybody showed up for it. I ended up getting the guy on the phone. He had just inside the door.

[Mike]

I know in South county, like 18th Ave. Southwest, we ended up doing our people.

[Nick]

Yep, yep. We ended up talking him out of the house. No gun, no nothing, leaving it there. He had like a van and something else. I was kind of behind and I had my fto. He was like, I say who it was, but he was kind of. Let me get the phone, Let me get the phone. Like, dude, you telling you right now, this dude's gonna off us if I give you the phone. Like, you're gonna piss him off and end up talking. He came out crying, tears, dropped the. Drop the gun or dropped the phone, whatever. Put him in handcuffs. He had like three kids in the house. Wife the full nine. They were like locked up in a room. So we didn't really have a barricaded subject. We really didn't have a hostage because he wasn't taking them hostage. But it could be very.

[Mike]

Yo.

[Nick]

It could be very hectic, very, very fast. And I think the biggest thing with that is your best friend, if there's no life in danger, is going to be as much backup as you can. Because if that backup wasn't there, he's trying to fight homie, like, little kid and then dealing with do machete. So you're dual welding, you know, bodies. I think he pushed it a little bit too quick. Let's just talk to the sun. Everything's calm, you're cool. You can hear homeboy yelling. Let him yell. As long as nobody's actively dying, you don't have to rush in and then just wait for your come up, develop a plan.

[Mike]

Did you watch that with Nick?

[Clint]

Yeah, yeah. No. Everything he's saying is right, man. There's no reason. Like, he definitely inflamed the situation. Like when the son was going in there, as soon as the mom walked out, hey, guys, I don't want to shoot your dad. Let's go over to the curb. Let's come up with a plan to get that out.

[Nick]

And you just surround and call out, be cool.

[Mike]

Remember, like that. You can't. I think the. The fine line on this one is if you let somebody go back in that house, like grabbing the kid, grabbing dragon. If you let somebody go back in that house, you've now re created a hostage situation. So that is a extremely difficult one for me.

[Clint]

You're right.

[Mike]

You can't let anybody back in. But you're non quiet, that seems. And people are making jokes in the chat about whose family it might be, but that seems like probably a normal day. Like, dad's probably had to make Eddie out a few times, I would think, but he didn't.

[Clint]

But the problem is the cop could have just been like, yo, kid, you know, I don't want to shoot your dad. Walk over here with me. Especially when everyone was out, he could have de escalated instead of push and say, hey, let's come up with a plan. I don't want to hurt dad. Let's get him out of the house.

[Nick]

I mean, I

[Clint]

hold on real quick. Even when he came out the front door, no one said, drop the machete. They just said, get back in the house. It's like, yeah, not once did they say, drop the knife. Drop the machete. Let's talk about this. We don't want to shoot you.

[Mike]

And I. I get it. That, that one, to me, is just tough because of all the other factors. You have two uncooperative sons. One that's kind of passive, the other one's kind of passive aggressive. Mom comes out, and I get what you're saying. If that is just sensory overload, and, And I. I think that shooting is justified. At the end of the day, I don't think it's a problem. But, yeah, we can. Monday morning quarterback. But it just. With all those other factors, can you imagine that same video where mom goes back in, her son goes back in, and dad knocks his head off with a machete and where he's bleeding out and they're like, oh, this guy. Let him go back in the house. So it's one of those, like. I'm not saying I don't have an answer. That's just one of those, like, throw the book at it and be like, hopefully it all ends up well, because that's just a train wreck of a call. Train wreck.

[Clint]

I'm giving them a D minus.

[Mike]

D minus. All right.

[Clint]

Yeah, should be enough. But because they didn't break any.

[Mike]

Okay, we're going D minus. Peach. What do we do?

[Nick]

I think, I think I. I think that's one of those situations where it'd be a good training scenario.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Nick]

You know, like, hey, at what point? And like, you know, freeze. Like, what point would you think you needed back up? Like, are you even walking up to that house by yourself?

[Mike]

You have to though, kind of. Yeah, but if it's your, if you got, you don't have to.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, but as the call was stated, maniac. Yeah, as the call was stated, mental health guy. Dad has a machete. Homeboy walks freely out the house. Yeah, my dad's got a machete. Yeah, he's not screaming. He's not covered in blood. I don't hear active stimulation in the house, dude. I'm staying out and quietly as much like, hey, man, let's come down here. Just don't even let them even know I'm there because the minute that dude knows I'm here, we're on a whole new. It's a whole new different platform.

[Mike]

The boys want to know why you're not hungover after 0311.

[Nick]

I can handle my liquor, dude.

[Mike]

The see, he's a real marine. He can go to PT at 6:00am Post 0311 and still be okay.

[Nick]

Dude, my camelback's always filled with liquor. The.

[Mike]

I know another guy like that plastic cup or a metal cup, what else I got? So yeah, I mean, my point of that one wasn't to on anybody. I just. And then the other thing my wife brought up was like training like that is almost impossible to train for. How do you, you can't, I don't care what scenario, other than like beating somebody with a dick the whole time the scenario is going on. You really can't create that level of chaos in any trouble.

[Nick]

No, but I, I, I've actually thought about this a lot. I remember in the military we used to do those things, TDGs, the tactical decision games. And I tried to do it when we were on the team, but people thought it was dumb. And I don't think it is. If we sit in a small group, if we're in like a team room or something like that, like, hey, and just go over contingencies, right? Just go over different types of things. Is it actual training? No, but it opens your mind up to certain things, right? If you watch this video, just like we're doing right now, we watch this video, a group full of people with just a whole bunch of dudes sitting around of, you know, an office, like, hey, what would you do here? And if you're doing it with your zone partners and people that you trust, the next time that situation comes up and you see somebody act on something, you're gonna know. Yeah, he did that because we talked about that. But if you don't talk about these things, you don't bring them Up. You never Nothing. When that situation happens, you're gonna have a whole bunch of. I almost dropped the name. You're gonna have a whole bunch of partners next to you that have no idea what they're doing. You look like the. Because you're the senior guy.

[Mike]

Maybe she shows up to back you up, right?

[Nick]

No, that's the one that's gonna. That's the one that's gonna write you up because you made a decision in

[Mike]

the parking lot, right? She's getting at it. She's doing the practice in the drills and all that stuff. You don't think that's your people up there, Nick? That's Trenton. Camden. That's where that was right across the bridge, man.

[Clint]

Oh, man, I thought that was down south.

[Mike]

No, it's Camden.

[Clint]

Them kickers, man, in trailer park or something.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Clint]

I can't believe that's Camden.

[Mike]

Here we go. You want to go down south? Here is. Here's our. One of our Florida deputies here. Look at that.

[Nick]

Hey, yo, look at that.

[Mike]

Look at that leg strap, man.

[Nick]

So useful.

[Mike]

When she got out of bed that morning, put that on. She was like, man, I look like I'm it.

[Nick]

I'll be a captain in two years. She looks like she. Look at the rank on her chest. She's probably a fto.

[Mike]

Let me zoom in there a little more. I got the tattoos right, right.

[Nick]

Right in the center of her vest.

[Mike]

There's a lot of canvas there for tattoos. Look how low that strap is on the knee. It's like, around her knee.

[Nick]

It's useless.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's useless.

[Nick]

The only reason why I ever wore a leg strap is because I broke those forks on my qls. It's the only reason why I did it running. That and the bruise I would have on the side of my leg for my freaking. My holster. That's the only reason why I ever wore it. Everybody wore it as, like, a fashion statement.

[Mike]

It's like I. I thought everybody's like, oh, it'll stay next to you when you're running. I put it on, and I couldn't take the. In the car. Like, I. I would fold my gun over the seat belt so I. It didn't jam my hip, and I couldn't move it when it was strapped. So I'm like, I'm not with this thing. Like, I wore it for, like, half a day.

[Clint]

No, I got a question for both of you. Oh, talk about equipment. The first time you ever chased anybody, was it funky? Because in the academy, you never really ran with your Equipment on or your gun on?

[Mike]

Do you know when I first chased somebody? My first call ever. So it was funky. My very friend. It sounds stupid, like I'm being cool. I'm not. My first call ever as a cop was an armed robbery. Three black males robbed a white dude for a cell phone in the hood. And I got a foot pursuit on my very first call. And I thought cop work was the coolest that ever happened.

[Nick]

Was it near 33rd?

[Mike]

That was in. I was vera. I was on right behind 18. 1800 block of 40th Avenue. Behind the Taco Bell back there. And I thought, yeah, this is a little. What? Totally different. You run and then you get up and your belts twisted sideways and you're all over the place and you're like, well, that didn't go right, dude.

[Clint]

I grabbed a couple junkies. I was patting them down. One took off. I went running and I was in great shape, dude. I played foot roller ice hockey every day. And I'm running, dude, and my is just like wonky, dude. I'm like kind of waddling as I'm running. I fell in front of a bunch of hookers right on Kensington Avenue. Slid on my vest. I got up though, really pissed off and caught that. I got him. It was embarrassing, dude.

[Mike]

It is. And it nobody ever understands, like, when you get up from that foot pursuit or that use of and like, you just feel like, I want to go home. You want to go home. Because you're like, everything. My shirt's untucked. Yeah. My microphone's off. Your shit. You're like, I need to go home and start over. Like, go back home. Take everything off, put it all back on and try it again.

[Clint]

I was bleeding from everywhere. My sergeant picks me up in his truck. He's like, what are you taking chasing junkies for? Here's some tissues. You're bleeding.

[Mike]

I got. We had a young, young female that run away all the time, Donna Napier. This is going back to 2001 too. 14 years old. I get out to chase her, she's run away. And I come around the corner in a bank. Drive thru full of 20 cars and just same, eat it, dude. Face first.

[Nick]

Great.

[Mike]

Down the side of my face on the shoulder. I remember standing up. Look, my hands are all scruffed up and I'm just like turned around. Walk back to my car and like four people I knew it was before the cell phone, thank God. But four people I knew were at the bank. They text me, they're like, bro, I saw you wipe out, dude. And I'm like, yep, that was me. That was me bleeding, head cut open.

[Clint]

Yeah, it's great, dude.

[Mike]

It's funny, man, right? I mean, you can't fall down if you're not out chasing somebody.

[Clint]

Oh. Then as I got older, I realized I don't. I don't run after people. I just drive after them. I let them tire out.

[Mike]

I tried to do that. I wish. I wish I had my old video. I'd driven through a few backyards and yards, and, you know, we're a little spread. More spread out than Philly. We could actually get behind the houses.

[Clint]

And I'll do. You'd be surprised what we could do. There's a few people I drove up next to him, just opened my door and hit them.

[Mike]

Boom.

[Nick]

So the. I just sent you. Or ram, whatever you want to call it. So I just sent you a video of. I don't know. It was pretty much. It's like my last couple months, this kid was calling send his. His dad was actively choking another child inside the house. And we're all, like, stacked up out the house. And I'm like, dude, let's kick in the door. Like, what are we doing? Like, let's go. Let's go. Like, what are we waiting on? And of course, you have all the. The SWAT boys just stacked up outside the house. And I'm like, dude, like, we need to get in this house. I don't care what you're doing. Let's get in the house. So somebody we know grabs a shield and decides to try to kick this door. He doesn't get it.

[Mike]

All right.

[Nick]

And when you're ready.

[Mike]

Go ahead. You tell me when you're ready for the. Ready for the video.

[Nick]

Send it.

[Mike]

Not getting indicted.

[Nick]

This is by body. It's a by body cam video. Huh?

[Caller]

Get out.

[Mike]

Get him out.

[Caller]

Get out now.

[Mike]

Look at that. That ever rapidly evolving situation.

[Nick]

Well, that. We were outside this house for 10 minutes. Like, I was the first one to get there. And I'm like, hey, I have. I don't have any stimulus. I have nothing. Like, it is quiet. And I'm like, is this the right house? Like, what is going on? It was such a weird call. And I get there with another female cop, and I'm like, hey, like, go to the side. See if you hear anything. Nothing. And then the phone. The dispatch said, hey, like that. They said, there's a child in there being actively choked. I'm knocking on the door. Nobody's coming out. I'm like, I don't. I don't think this is going. Like, what's. What's going on? Finally, like, you hear everybody coming. Like, all. All the unmarked cars, the detectives that were out on lunch are coming, like, all that stuff. And then finally, someone, like, opens the. The blinds, and it's like, yeah, I'm not coming outside. Shuts it. And then, like, barricades the front door. We're like, okay, I'm kicking this door. So as I start to do that, somebody on the SWAT team's like, no, you're not. I have. And he literally gets on the radio. I have. On scene command.

[Mike]

Instant. Yeah, incident command, Right?

[Nick]

I was like, okay, I guess it's not my hands anymore. Fine. All right. And I think we kind of know who probably it was. So I stepped back. I'm like, all right, cool. So I'm sitting there. I'm like, I'm just gonna hold this corner, make sure nobody comes around and, you know, tries to kill us. And then they're like, grab the shield. Grab the shield. So I grab the shield. I'm like, what are we grabbing the shield for? Like, the shield is useless inside the house. Like, it is. Gets this. It's in the way. And one job. What was the saying? One job, one person, one job.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Shield. Kicking a door.

[Mike]

No, bad idea.

[Nick]

You're not getting the. The. What you need, right? Like, use the shield to break the door if anything. Finally, like, hey, just get the out of the way, dude. Like this. He had rank. I respect him.

[Clint]

I love him.

[Nick]

But, like, I'm like, dude, get the out of the way. And I just kicked it in. Comes to find out the little kid had got grounded and was just saying some on the phone. But, like, this dude got up. Like, he had, like, bruises all over his back. He got thrown in the car. He was kicking the car. He didn't know what was going on because the child was in the room making false phone calls. But, like, that. Like, that's the time we're like, all right, we need to get in here. That's what I was kind of getting at. And there's certain time, even when I didn't have stimulus, I'm like, I don't think this is. There's something going on that's not right here. But even there, like, the. The machete one, the guy screaming on the inside, he's screaming, but, like, I don't hear another person screaming. Like, I'm being killed. I don't think that's stimulus to where I'm kicking in the door. If son walks out and he's chilling. Hey, man, I mean, I would secure his ass, cover his mouth, and just, poof, put him in handcuffs, and poof, gone. If I can get him away from that situation and not escalate it by more, by dad seeing that I'm good. Hey, next person that comes to the house, watch the front door.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Nick]

And then we start trying to call people out. I wouldn't even go up to. I mean, can go up to the front door, but what's the point? Call people out, get on the P.A. hey, you know, residents at so and so or whoever, if you know the names, come to the front door. We like to talk to and keep that distance. Have that ready team ready to go at the garage that he can't see three viewed stacked up when he goes back into that house. Because we know that people now we have. We have a. A different situation. He's armed. We can see that. Take the house and go from there. But I think the shot. I don't think that needed to happen. He didn't. Justified, yes, but he didn't, like, advance forward. Why didn't you do it right when he came out with the gun or when he came out with the machete? Just. He did the same exact thing. He was just standing there. It just got to the point where I think he was just getting pissed off that he wasn't listening and he pulled the trigger. And that's probably how defense is going to put it.

[Clint]

Maybe you're not throwing that machete and hurting anybody either.

[Mike]

You're charging 21.

[Nick]

Charge you with it.

[Clint]

Yeah, he charges with you, but, yeah, he stands in there. So you can't. You can't justify saying, yeah, well, he can toss it at me and stick it in me. You know, not the machete.

[Mike]

Stick it in me.

[Nick]

But that's the thing. It's like, what all the. All the times you hear people say, you know, drop the weapon, drop the weapon, drop the weapon. If you just say, drop the weapon once and then pull the trigger, it's more justifiable, I think, than saying it 15 times. And some people are like, well, why is that? It's because. Why don't you just say it 20 times or 30 times? He might have. You give him one lawful order. He doesn't comply, your life is in danger. You're a threat, whatever it is, and his justice.

[Mike]

If anybody wants to call in. Clint, you used up your story last night. Anybody got any stories? Anybody wants to interject in what we're talking about, please feel free. Everyone wants to talk to Nick. But why? He's homeless, living in a van. We can kind of glaze over that

[Clint]

nine or nine more days.

[Mike]

Nine more days of a special ops assignment.

[Nick]

Where's your piss bottle?

[Mike]

I like it. He already showed it last night. Don't show it again. God damn it. Jesus.

[Nick]

Did I have at least six of those on post, too? Oh, it's the same bottle, too. You don't even, like, change out the bottle, you nasty thing.

[Clint]

I dumped it. I dumped it a few times. I normally do change it out, but I haven't been drinking that much.

[Nick]

I would have done, like a gallon just to piss everybody off. At least it looks natural in there.

[Clint]

I was. Dude, I had a whole gal. I'm like, it's too much.

[Mike]

What else do I have? I have anything else?

[Nick]

Where's the jerk off? Sock? There's a lot of Tyler's gays around here.

[Mike]

Yeah, you have a lot of that. He's not even watching, like some boss.

[Clint]

I'm not gonna. Dude, I'm not gonna say I didn't accidentally drink out of it one time. It's a bad idea, pissing an iced tea.

[Nick]

Have you done. So I did when I was on, like, posts and stuff. I'd have, like, a dip cup because you can't spit.

[Mike]

I've done that, you know, on the floor.

[Clint]

Right?

[Nick]

And then just. But it was a communal gift cup, like, yeah, dude. Oh, my God. Oh. So then I end up getting one of those, like, bowl ones, you know, Talking about that don't spill. Yeah, it's like you kind of spit. It just kind of goes down.

[Mike]

Somebody's got a question. What unit were you with?

[Nick]

What unit wasn't I with? I started out in 3rd Battalion, 9th Marines. Went to 2nd, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines. Then went to 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines.

[Mike]

Jesus.

[Nick]

And then finished out at Soi east at Advanced infantry training Battalion, where I taught if junior leaders course small unit tactics. And then I was at the sniper school teaching Gilly and Hides.

[Mike]

All right, I'm gonna play. This video is kind of controversial. This is a one of those. Refusal to take the tickets turns into a fast littering. Got a kid in the car. I'm not gonna. You can guess the demographics, but I'm gonna play the video. Incident happened at her citation. As far as the bullet, you don't want to take it?

[Clint]

No, I don't want it.

[Mike]

That's your citation. That's littering. Step out of the car.

[Caller]

Don't do that off my car. I'm not Stepping out of the.

[Mike]

Mom, chill out.

[Caller]

I'm not.

[Nick]

Just call.

[Caller]

Yes, Call your supervisor. You're not the supervisor. Call your supervisor. A super supervisor. Get your hand off me. Get your hand off me. I will step out on the supervisor. I'm not stepping out of nothing, ma'.

[Clint]

Am.

[Mike]

Obviously, Pennsylvania versus Mims. She committed a new crime. Littering. I get it. The kids asking her to stop. Like, this is where you have to be.

[Nick]

I'd write her another ticket. Write another ticket.

[Mike]

I. I bet she has to get out of the car. He's told her to get out of the car. You like it or dislike it? It's a lawful.

[Nick]

Yeah, but what's the reason for getting her out of the car? I get it. There's case law says you can pull out any given time.

[Mike]

No offense. She littered. She's not. She's acting like a clown. He can ask her to get out.

[Nick]

Yeah, but is that an arrestable offense?

[Mike]

Doesn't matter.

[Clint]

It depends on what county they're in.

[Mike]

Pennsylvania vs. M says.

[Nick]

When I tell you, I know.

[Caller]

So get your head off. Get your head off.

[Peach]

You.

[Caller]

You littered. You dropped the ticket, not me.

[Mike]

Put the ticket.

[Caller]

No, you dropped the ticket, not me. You dropped the ticket, not me. Get your hands off me. You're touching me. Give me the ticket.

[Mike]

Oh, then. So he says, then he gives her the opportunity. Take the ticket and go. Like, even though at this point, still giving her the eye.

[Caller]

You're holding me too tight. And you're being out of line, sir.

[Mike]

I'm sorry. Can't you just get the ticket?

[Caller]

No, you stop. Why are you holding my arm like that? Why? No, you did not. You dropped the ticket, not me. I told you I did not want it.

[Mike]

I told you I didn't want it. I wish we could all do that.

[Caller]

Too much. I'm not afraid of you. Get your hand off of me. You're holding me forcibly for no reason.

[Nick]

Wait, she just said she's not afraid of him.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Nick]

Is that what. She's perfect.

[Mike]

I'm not afraid.

[Nick]

Later on, she can't say. She's in fear.

[Mike]

And here the kid. Here's the kid in the background saying, mom, he just said, if you just take the ticket, we can leave. Like, you have to be a parent at some point and be smart. Make smart decisions for your children and yourself. You hate the cops. You've been raised to hate the cops. Hate the cops. You got your kid in the car. There's a point where you have to put that aside, in my opinion.

[Caller]

No, I did not you did that. Okay, Give me the ticket.

[Peach]

On your phone video.

[Caller]

Give me the ticket.

[Mike]

No, we're past that.

[Nick]

Okay, you're under arrest.

[Caller]

Step out of the car.

[Clint]

Littering.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Nick]

Step out of the car.

[Caller]

No, I'm not.

[Mike]

I mean, the littering. I mean.

[Clint]

Well, now it's resisting arrest, so.

[Mike]

Yeah, it is resistant. He's getting resisting.

[Nick]

Yeah, you're under arrest.

[Caller]

When your colonel gets here, then I will step out. I'm not getting out of the fire. I'm with my child, and I'm not doing that right now.

[Mike]

Step out of the car.

[Caller]

I'm not. I'll step out.

[Mike]

She said call your father.

[Caller]

When another officer gets here, I might step out. I don't trust you. You're holding me too strong, and I don't trust you. You don't have to hold me like. I'm not going anywhere. Where am I gonna go? I'm not gonna go. I'm not stepping out of the car. Call your colonel, and I will get out of the car. You're holding me. I'm not resisting arrest.

[Clint]

Just rip her out of the car. I'm getting tired of this.

[Caller]

I didn't litter. You did that. No, I did not. You did that. You did that. It's all on camera. So when your colonel gets here, then I will step out. I have my child with me. I'm not getting out of the. You have a. You have a supervisor.

[Nick]

Okay?

[Caller]

So when your supervisor gets here, then I will step out of the car. Call someone else. There is someone else. There is someone else. Let me call 911.

[Peach]

Wait, wait.

[Mike]

Stop. Stop, sir, please stop. Wait. Stop, stop, stop.

[Nick]

Stop.

[Mike]

Please stop.

[Nick]

Please stop.

[Mike]

Wait.

[Nick]

Stop.

[Mike]

Stop. Now. She's kicking.

[Nick]

Battery.

[Mike]

Battery. Please, please, wait. Please. Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop, Stop. No.

[Clint]

Stop.

[Mike]

Stop, please. I'm scared. Stop. Wait. Stop. Stop.

[Caller]

Stop.

[Mike]

Please, wait. Please stop. Please stop. Stop, sir. Wait. Stop. Wait. Please stop.

[Clint]

Please.

[Mike]

Stop, please. That's fine. Did she resist?

[Nick]

And. No, I 100% agree. Like motivation.

[Mike]

In the van down by the river. So there.

[Nick]

So having her step out, you can, though.

[Mike]

You can have her.

[Nick]

I got it. I got it. But I. I'm petty, so I would have been like, okay, I'll be right back. Went back. I would have picked the ticket up off the floor. Went back. Literary ticket. Come back on a while. I'm calling another. Hey, can I get another unit? She can't leave. She wants to flee. She'll get pitted. Go back.

[Mike]

Other units were on the way, obviously, because they left it.

[Nick]

Right. So then I start writing the Other ticket.

[Mike]

There's the final well. And that's one way of doing it. I'm not knocking it. I as much as everybody. He calls me liberal Mike Tyler calls me little Mike. I have zero patience for this behavior. 0. 0. The reason we are where we are is because people like that have gotten to get away with doing that. And I'm not talking about the bet. There's cops that do dumb. They deserve to go to prison. They deserve to be disciplined. Obviously, she has an attitude. She doesn't like the citations he's got. She decides to escalate the situation and throw it. Yes. Could every cop in America go, I'm sorry, ma'. Am. I'm just gonna go over here and do nothing. Because we're. No, we don't have to. And it does become petty. Get out of the car. Get out of the fucking car. You know what? You can get out of the car and explain it to me. You don't want to get out of the car. Then. Then you're. You're breaking the law. And it. It goes both ways. And I know Izzo would hate this one professionalism, and I would fight him all the way on this one. At some point, our word to get out of the car. She has a camera running. He has a body camera running. You got your child pleading with you to not escalate this. You never really hurt. You never heard him get mad at the cop right at the very end. Please don't do this. He's mad at his mother. Mom, what are you doing? Mom. Mom, don't do this. Mom, don't do. We don't have to take that. And if we continue to take that, we might as well just stop writing tickets all together, because everybody's gonna act like that. And then what are we gonna do, Nick? What do you think?

[Clint]

I'm ripper out of car, dude. Right away, if I tell you get out of the car, you have maybe one or two more. Get out of the car, man. This is your last warning. And after the third one, I'm ripping her the. Out of the car. I'm not gonna play that game back and forth. Listen to the arguing. It's go time. One or the other.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Nick]

See, I've never. I've never. I don't think I've ever pulled anybody out of the car by myself. Oh, I think we are, like, it was frowned upon for us. Like, I. It was just weird for me to. Even if. Even though I'm, like, I'm gonna pull this person out of the car, It's. I'm not knocking anything. It was just. I didn't want to go two on one against somebody.

[Mike]

So, like, here's. Look at it. It appears he's. And he does go a little early, but it looks like he's pulling her out as the backup's arriving. I think he sees back up and goes, could you wait longer? Yes, but are two people in the door. That's going to be even more of a disaster.

[Nick]

No, no, I'm not only talking about that someone just to cover down on such. Yeah, but it looks like.

[Mike]

It looks like he sees the dudes, the backup coming and then he says, okay, I'm gonna go ahead and go hands on.

[Nick]

I don't think I've ever even opened up a door without another person.

[Mike]

Just imagine. Imagine if she just took her ticket like she was supposed to and drove away.

[Clint]

Dude, I. I never get the, like state troopers that are by themselves that there's not another car for 30 miles and he's stepped out of car, man. Or stepped out of the car, sir. They go in the back or like,

[Nick]

let's go sit in my front seat.

[Clint]

Yeah. And they're just chatting like they're running. They're standing right next to him. Like, yeah, you know, I got Hispanic males, names this and that, blah, blah, blah. Can we run them? Like, run them and then.

[Nick]

And then search their car while they're sitting on the hood of their car.

[Clint]

Yeah, yeah. Sit there. They're standing at the trunk.

[Nick]

Like no search was done. No nothing. Yeah, yeah, I went blurry.

[Mike]

I heard my iPhone make noise. It must have been every now and then. That's that thing Dominic talks about where, like they're in our electronics causing issues because I heard my iPhone make that little reconnection noise.

[Nick]

So I saw a comment in here about. All right, so Sergeant Raider, the Marine Corps start. Major Ruiz. So Sergeant Major, I think it was from. Dude, Duder. So star. Major Reeves was my sergeant major in three five. I even have his number. I could probably still call him. Yeah, that's a bad. That's a bad man. That's a.

[Mike]

So here's a question from Liz. So why do you off. Why do officers get out of the car? Yeah. Why do they say ten times. You're right. And that's where you fall between the. It's one of those it factors. I think again, it's like Nick said, if everybody had two warnings and they got ripped out. I think you said a really good precedent that, you know, this guy's going to give you like one or two warnings everywhere and then you're coming out the door. The problem is, like Pete said, it's frowned upon some places and you get these liberal cities where everybody's innocent and then you go pull somebody new. I know when we went to Jersey City, a bunch of the dudes showed up at the Jersey City show and came in and I was talking to a couple guys. They that just to open the door and get some out is considered a use of force. It's a use of force report to get somebody so they will get there. And literally they have like these little chirpy females. He said, and these people that think they're high speed and they start yelling at a driver to get out and they all look at everybody's body and they're like, hey, we're leaving, man. Like, we're not getting involved in the use of force because it is a use of force. Full use of force report to get somebody out of the car. So if you're in Jersey City and you do that, they're going to be like, adios, they're letting you go. So that's where. That's where the we lo. It's like the broken window theory. Like eventually we lose. We lose.

[Justin]

What?

[Mike]

What? Like the. The Tyler video he posted today or yesterday. The Chicago kids run around with guns. Like, we continue to let people not get out of cars, not obey the law and just run wild. We're going to have cities which we already have for Pierce. Yeah, you got people that don't obey the law, have guns, and the cops are too scared to walk up to them and even say anything to them.

[Nick]

Dude, I could drive down. I could drive down MLK right now, which is right on the other side of the main road. That's the difference between like the hood and like the nice areas. This big thick road in the middle

[Clint]

of the county always is MLK.

[Nick]

It is 25th Street. Always, right? So then you start going into your avenues. Your D's, A, B, C all the way up. It's always the numbers and the avenues. You drive any by any liquor store at night time when I would come back home from work and you know, in a county car from a different county, I'd be like, man, dude, if I had two of my guys that was working with me, I'd roll right up to that liquor store, no problem whatsoever. And just whoever runs is going to get it. They don't do that here. And it was also because the chief and everything too, but there's so much Crap. Like, how many shootings have we had in St. Lucie county in the past three weeks? Like five or six. And it's like, when is it going to be enough? Like Wednesday? Are we going to turn into Chicago? Because these criminals know they can do whatever they want because you got the. The look at four Pierce cops. I go to Wawa and I got six of them sitting down in Wawa sandwiches. And they look like a Wawa sandwich.

[Mike]

And it's like, this is crazy area. They went out in the area again.

[Nick]

Yeah, enter that. But.

[Mike]

All right, we're coming up on halfway. We're going to take a little break. Nick can pee in the bottle. We're going to run the vengeance ad and we'll be back here in a minute and 31 seconds.

[Ad 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 over vaccination, unnecessary surgeries and manufactured food, just like they did for people. They call it care, but it's predatory and based on 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.

[Nick]

Foreign.

[Mike]

[Clint]

I. I pulled over a. Pulled over a car full of four people. It was night time in the hood by being Indiana, which is number one heroin corner in the country. There's a bunch of Hispanic guys, a girl, a couple guys and a girl in there and I license, registration, insurance, and they're giving me the. All. All four of them. I'm like, come on, man. You know, license, registration, insurance. I'm like, trying to write it down. And you're going like this. So I knew it was upside down on the hood. To my partner on the other side, I said, yo, I'm going to take the driver. My car. You drive their car. We're gonna beat them and rob them. We'll take them down the river. They talked real quick. Oh, no, sir. Here's my license register. Oh, okay. Thought you were all deaf.

[Mike]

So I got a video.

[Clint]

Got their real quick.

[Mike]

We know other countries are dealing with some stuff, right? Like, I think they're calling them new Europeans. So this video is out of Germany, where a German family allowed a certain person to move in. And then how he repaid them.

[Clint]

Anybody speak German? Is that a high Hitler?

[Mike]

I don't think. I don't think.

[Nick]

Beat the. Out of.

[Clint]

Singer Vic.

[Nick]

Funny how big I do this.

[Clint]

You had a knife.

[Mike]

Had a knife the whole time. What they say? We got 1800 of those people that came in Bill Drill. Undocumented terrorists. That's what's happening all overseas, unfortunately. It's gonna happen here. It already is. I mean, we got guys running around New york City throwing IEDs, and they're

[Clint]

praying at Times Square, dude. On their knees in the.

[Mike]

Newark. Newark, New Jersey's capitol, had a raised up video at. God damn it. Hold on. Where's that video at? They raised the flag. I gotta find it. Is this it? Yeah. Here you go. Here you go. Got the headquarters in Newark City Hall. Newark City, United States of America. Newark, New Jersey. Where across the river they watch the towers crumble? Can you imagine on 9 12, 2001, if you would have told the people that were watching those buildings come down that they'd be yelling Allah Akbar and raising a flag in Newark insanity.

[Nick]

I mean, New. Even Jersey. Jersey is very liberal, too.

[Mike]

Like, beyond liberal vanity, man. Insanity. And you can say what you want. Relive freedom. What a violent group of humans, man. I want that. My algorithm is skewed. They beat the snot out of women. They put them in the public square and whip them with sticks and rocks and.

[Clint]

Hold on, hold on. They're not so bad with their women. They got the right idea. I don't agree with the other stuff. Keep them wives in check, dude. I gotta give them that. Give them props.

[Mike]

Oh, my God. For all those good promos you cut, man.

[Nick]

Yeah, that Clint. That Clint story was pretty funny. Like, you're not gonna go see Your wife for a week following.

[Mike]

Just hysterical, dude.

[Clint]

Yeah, you're not gonna see your wife for a week. Only when she serves your food.

[Mike]

All right. We're an hour, too. Somebody got a story. Somebody wants to call in. I've got the phone line open. I can put the number up one more time. Mr. White Sauce

[Nick]

South.

[Mike]

A couple more videos, a couple more things.

[Clint]

What do we got here, man?

[Mike]

No one's calling nobody, man. They don't give a. About us, dude. They're sick of us. Sick of us.

[Nick]

There's a bunch of.

[Mike]

You know, Jimmy. All right, just Good thing.

[Nick]

All right, Jimmy. I ain't Jimmy. I'm eating them. You're eating, too.

[Mike]

I ate a pretzel.

[Nick]

Monkey see, monkey do door. Burking.

[Clint]

What is that? Have it your way.

[Mike]

Have it your way. What a wild world we live.

[Nick]

Yeah, but that. That guy that was working there. How do you think he sounded in his interview for that job? Compared to when the actual real him came out in a fight?

[Mike]

I don't think he had an interview.

[Clint]

They just hire whoever shows the upper. Oh, you made it. Great. I think three. Here's your shirt.

[Mike]

Here's a shirt.

[Nick]

Here's your crown. It happens at Burger King.

[Mike]

All the. I'm not talking about the crown. All they have is the little sign. They stick you in front of the sign, you like, put that bread, put that meat, put that sauce, put that lettuce, smack it together, and off you go, man. Right.

[Clint]

I worked at Burger King when I was 15.

[Nick]

I can mess up some burgers, you know.

[Mike]

I worked when I was 15. Roy Rogers. Remember Roy Rogers.

[Clint]

The best fried chicken in the world.

[Mike]

I love Roy Rogers. They had the roast beef, the burgers, and the fried chicken.

[Clint]

Fried chicken. And then, dude, the fries with the little holster you can put on your belt.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Clint]

Yeah, dude, I was running around.

[Mike]

My first job ever. Roy Rogers did.

[Clint]

I shot this. Come in every Friday and order a cheese. A cheeseburger with no meat. Swear to God.

[Mike]

What?

[Clint]

Every. Every Friday, cheeseburger, no meat. And I was in the 90s, dude. He used to get his no meat with a loogie in it. Every time they spit his. Every time. They hated him.

[Nick]

Damn. Damn.

[Clint]

I didn't spit in it. They did.

[Nick]

Pull that. Pull that comment up.

[Mike]

Somebody else. Which one? This one.

[Nick]

Tyler is gay. Too far.

[Mike]

Segregated restaurants. I remember Roy Rogers, man. Brown pant. I remember. Never forget the first day. 14 years old. First job. Had to work. Remember working papers? They didn't have that in Florida. You had to have working papers up North. You had to get, like, a license. And I'll never forget, my mom dropped me off. I got these baggy dickies, brown nasty pants, his brown Roy Rogers shirt, and an apron. And I'm just like, this sucks. Like, this sucks. And I worked there for about a year, and then I went. Ended up working at the hospital for like three years before I moved.

[Clint]

Do you work there? Roy Rogers for a year?

[Mike]

Yeah. Like 14 to 15 years old. I had to my mom. You back then, you had to your parents. You no choice. Your mom's like, you're going to work, kid. Get out of the house. Drop you off and pick you up.

[Clint]

I got. I got a job as a bouncer. I know it's a bouncer as a bar back at like 16. My buddy, my older buddies, his girlfriend worked there, Got me a job show up. I had to go buy pants with my own money. Like 20 bucks, you know what I mean? It's a lot of money, dude. Show up. And I guess the manager realized if I'm working there, I'll find out he's banging my buddy's girlfriend. So I got fired as soon as I walked the in there and now out. Twenty dollars for my blended, brand new Black Panther. Sixteen, dude. Twenty bucks. Like a hundred dollars when you're 16.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Nick]

Yeah, my bucks used to go so far, though. That lasted all weekend.

[Mike]

Fired on your first day, man, I

[Clint]

was there for about 10 minutes. Yeah. You need to go home. What?

[Mike]

All right, Clint, you can call in. We need somebody to call in under. Under six minutes. Five. Six minutes story. Somebody. Let's go. You got to do open mic too, man. We gotta. We got a lot of stuff that you guys got to come through today. We're on the ropes over here on Friday.

[Clint]

I gotta tell you, I'm hopping off. I'll catch you at 3 o'.

[Justin]

Clock.

[Nick]

What do you mean? Just pissing the bottle. It's right there.

[Clint]

Oh, can we do it?

[Nick]

Last night I heard you scratching your nuts, so I don't want to hear it.

[Mike]

Hold on. We got a caller. I don't think it's Clint. Hello? You're live. Maybe it's a bill collector. Hello?

[Clint]

That'd be great.

[Mike]

Hello?

[Justin]

Can you hear me?

[Mike]

Yeah. Do I owe money?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Justin]

No, I g money called somebody.

[Mike]

What's that?

[Nick]

Clint?

[Mike]

Clint's calling now. Clinton.

[Justin]

Oh, what's going on?

[Mike]

We had another call, but you just bumped them off. Go ahead. You got a p. You can leave g money. I know you're holding it.

[Justin]

I think that was me. I Tried the two. Yeah, I tried the two numbers.

[Mike]

All right, well, here you are. You're live.

[Justin]

Oh, okay. So I was going.

[Mike]

This don't sound like Clint. This is a different voice.

[Nick]

You call me. This is a commie.

[Mike]

No, I'm looking at. I'm looking at it. It's 100. Clint.

[Justin]

Hey, you burnt. Oh, man, you're burning my time.

[Mike]

All right, go ahead.

[Justin]

So.

[Mike]

From Ranger Bat, Is he cutting in and out?

[Clint]

Yeah, he's cutting it out. All right, guys, I'll catch you in a little bit.

[Mike]

All right, man. Later. Clint. Call me on my. Right. Call me on my regular phone number. Not that. Not that. It's 217. Call me on the other one.

[Nick]

I am the commander. Great movie.

[Mike]

I use that Google number. I'm not a fan of it, but Clint has my real number.

[Nick]

Clint.

[Mike]

All right, there you go. Can you hear us? There you go.

[Justin]

Can you hear me?

[Mike]

Yep.

[Justin]

I was going to tell you about my. He was Ranger Bat, and. Hold on, hold on.

[Mike]

You're cutting in and out. Let me try hard.

[Justin]

I knew he was.

[Mike]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Mike]

All right.

[Nick]

We will figure this out, boys and girls.

[Mike]

Go ahead.

[Justin]

Yo.

[Mike]

Yep, there he goes.

[Justin]

So I knew he was from Ranger Bat because when he. When he met me in the chow hall, well, we were eating chow out in the field, and he was a specialist, and I was a specialist, and he.

[Clint]

He.

[Justin]

When he talked to me, he called me specialist. So I knew that he was from Ranger Bat. So anyways, me and him became good buddies, and we were going drinking downtown, and we were leaving the company, and the Odyssey had just pulled up on a little moped to deliver some food to the barracks. And so he got off the moped, and he ran in the building to deliver the food. So Greg got on the. The moped and put it in neutral, and I pushed him on his back. We pushed it over to the dumpster, and we picked it up and threw it in the dumpster. And then we. We walked downtown, and we went into the. The town for, like a couple hours, and then we came back drunk. And the whole company was in uniform, and they were searching for the moped. They were like. They were going through Con Exes, looking. Going through the woods, starting to walk up the mountain, everything. Looking for it. We come walking up drunk in the. My squad leader come running out. He. He was 11 Bravo, but he reclassed from dental. Dental hygienist to 11 Bravo. So nobody respected him. But he come running out yelling at me about only me and him. Were messed up enough to do something like that. And we were like, no, I have no idea what you're talking about, man. And then you heard somebody, yo, we found it, and it was in the dumpster. We threw the moped in the dumpster. But anyways, when I was in processing from Korea, I was coming with two dudes from the 82nd. We were in civilian clothes, but I had my head shaved, and they didn't talk to me because they thought I was from ranger bat because I had my head shaved. And then once we got there, we became buddies. And my first night in Korea, I ended up pissing on the bar right outside the gate. And me and those two dudes became buddies, but they went up to work on the dmz. And then me and my buddy Greg, we were down in Pokery. And the. When EIB rolled around, EIB rolled around, they would send their graders down to grade us, and then we would send our graders up there to grade them. So when they came down, they were grading our dudes on land nav. And so it was my two homeboys. So they're like, hey, Clint, we got you. Don't even worry about it. We got you. So me and Greg, the. The rangerbat dude, we would go out, and it was the practice to practice time, and we would just go out in the woods and sit down and just talk to each other for, like, four hours and then come back in and we would have all our points because my. My boy would give us the answers. So when they had test day, test day came. They switched all the graders out. Boys were not there. And I mean, doing land nav in Korea, it's. It's a mountain and a jungle at the same time. You really needed the practice time.

[Nick]

It's a dude.

[Justin]

I was running. I was running sideways on a mountain in a jungle, and I tripped and fail and I fell like the fat dude in. In Tommy Boy when he falls down the mountain, dude, I. I fail for at least three minutes straight. Just roll, flipping and rolling all by myself. When I hit the bottom, my rifle went sliding, sliding out of my hand. And I stood up and I looked around to see if anybody's seen it, but they're. You're in the middle of a jungle. Nobody's seen that. So I grabbed my. And I ended up running. I got all my points, and I was good, but. But I was trying to definitely put the pressure.

[Mike]

I was trying to explain that to my wife the other day about the land that if you're off, if you just get off a little bit. Your days ruined.

[Justin]

I mean, if you. If you're. If you're a. A rookie and you just hold your compass too close to your rifle, that'll put you off a couple degrees and you'll. You're not even close.

[Nick]

Dude, I've never. I've never like held my compass and shot an azimuth ever. Like, and I'm talking in the thickest things. I would always use attack points so I'd find some type of terrain, find it, get to it, and then shoot my Azure from there and cut the distance in half or like a corner of a road or something like that. I can't do the whole like looking, doing it or use the stars or whatever. No, I didn't mind.

[Mike]

I did it. We were.

[Justin]

I was at Benning when I was at bending for B knock. For B knock, we did the, the ranger land nav. And dude, I had on the digital ACUs and when I came out of the woods, I looked like I had Marine Corps digital. I had so much mud on my uniform, I looked like I was in a different brand.

[Mike]

What year did you get your. What year did you get your EIB? Current

[Justin]

1997.

[Mike]

Same year as me. How about that?

[Nick]

Yeah. Get your what?

[Justin]

We were the same because. Yeah, we were this. We were the same because the first year. The first year I tried out for, I was brand new and I got no go right out the gate.

[Mike]

I know, go.

[Justin]

And then the second, second time I was true blue.

[Mike]

I was true blue as well. I did the same exact thing. I've no go the first year I no go calling for fire. I messed up the grid coordinates on calling in.

[Clint]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah, I screwed that up the next. I did true blue the first day. On the second go around, I completed every task the first day I had the next day off. And then our road march was day three and I. That was all I had left when.

[Nick]

What. What. What are you guys talking about?

[Mike]

The eib. You get the expert infantry badge. Basically, you do like a. You got like 30 tasks you have to do over like three days to get the badge.

[Justin]

Like, it's actually two is 215 now. 215 individual tasks.

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't remember mine. I don't.

[Nick]

But they probably combine them into 30. If they combine them in a certain task.

[Justin]

Yeah, Each thing you do might be 10 tasks, though.

[Mike]

Yeah. So it was like. It was like land nav. It was like all this, all. You know, we had a plugger back

[Justin]

then, so me, yeah, me and Greg were Tied for true blue. And so we were doing the road march together. And right when we got to the finish line, I pulled his canteen out and made him drop it. And then I feed him about like three steps. And then, then when we would. Then when we talk. Listen, this is pretty good when we talk. When we were the graders for eib, we taught first aid. And Greg was like. He was built like damn Arnold Schwarzenegger. And we would teach all the dudes, we show them what they had to do and then we make them leave. And then when it's time to test, they would come in and we took the plastic hair off the. The dummy and Greg took his shirt off and he was laying on the ground with no shirt on, with the plastic hair on his head. And when they would walk in, when they would walk in, they would just be him laying there with his mouth open.

[Mike]

That's great.

[Justin]

And we get with that. And then our butcher board, it would always. The first day when we flipped it, it said, why? Why do you want your eib? And we flipped it and we cut all these pictures out of porn magazines. And it said, because women love a man with the eib.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Justin]

And then that only lasted. That only lasted a day because Italian found out.

[Mike]

That's funny. We were at the same time because I remember the only thing I can the equivalent to that was like getting your ib and then being an instructor the next year was making swat and then being a SWAT guy on the team the next year when everybody else tried out. It was like your first year. So when you were eib, when you had a task on the EIB as a grader, boy, I thought I was hot the next year, man.

[Justin]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You had your press unit. You had your press uniform on with your dress.

[Mike]

What was the thing? Salt. Where you look through the glasses and size. Whatever.

[Justin]

What the size activity.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. So my.

[Justin]

I graded equipment.

[Mike]

My great. I graded the salute stations. I had the gayest one.

[Clint]

Yeah.

[Justin]

The kindergarten. You had a kindergarten class.

[Nick]

I had the little kindergarten.

[Mike]

The little.

[Nick]

Yeah, you know, dude still probably messed that up though.

[Justin]

Hey, listen to this. I had a buddy get a no go for this the way they did it. You did the. The 15 mile road march. You had to do it in under three hours. And me, me and Greg both came in at 2:15. There was only one dude that beat us. He was a lieutenant. And we came in. But then you had to do disassemble, reassemble your rifle and functions check. And that was all part of the roadmark yes. So they had combined those two tasks. And so my one buddy, he no go the functions.

[Mike]

Oh God.

[Justin]

So then he had to. He had to redo the whole roadmarks the next bank. It's pretty wild.

[Mike]

I remember doing that. We had to do the same thing. Yep. All right, Clint, take care. That was nine minutes and 52 seconds. That wasn't bad. That was like three stories.

[Nick]

That was good. Okay. Nobody else is calling it in the house.

[Mike]

Doing his done patrolling the.

[Nick]

What does CC do?

[Mike]

I'm not. I'm not something.

[Nick]

I'll talk.

[Mike]

Yeah, he's. You gotta talk to him off one. Cece, my dog. You want to come in, man? Let me know if you're awake. You got any updates for us? You're welcome to jump in the show. I can send you the link. Clint is cool.

[Nick]

Yo. So when Clint called the first time on the other phone, it didn't sound like him. And then right when you switched over, I'm like, oh, there it is.

[Mike]

Yeah, Google. And that was through Bluetooth. I don't know why the Bluetooth's not working. But let me send Cece the link Casey to come in.

[Nick]

You said Cece is going to be there next Thursday

[Mike]

in house Monday for the morning. He's my coast in the morning. He's going to be at the night shift Thursday night.

[Nick]

Yes. Like actually to be there.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah, both. Yeah, both. Monday.

[Nick]

I haven't got to meet him. I haven't got to meet him yet. So in person? I don't think so, no.

[Mike]

But. Oh, he's a good dude. All right, tell the first. Yeah, whoever called first call back. That might have been a bill collector. Like I get you guys spam me through craziness. I get so many calls. But if anybody wants to call back in. It was a New York number. No, it was a Missouri number.

[Nick]

So out of anything that from like the army wise, right. Going into or your military career, can you compare anything from like you said, like the SWAT team, right? Like trying to do something to Matt. Like, I'm gonna be honest with you. And this is not me trying to sound like a badass or anything. And I have all the schools and awards and everything to prove it. I was never challenged in the Marine Corps, like physically as far as school wise. Right. Like swat. SWAT day. Like, that sucked because it was hot, right. And I kept cramping. But like, as far as like I want to quit or like I'm at my mental breaking point, I never found.

[Mike]

I know what John wants me to say. John Wants me to tell the truth. That Air Assault School is by far the most superior school that's ever existed in the history of the United States military. No, what was probably, I mean, I was 11, bro. I didn't go to ranger school or anything, But I was 11. Bravo. And Justin's calling. Hold on. Justin, you're live on the air. Hey, this is Justin from Donut Shop podcast. First time, long time. Just calling in to say what's up? And remind everybody, open mics at 3 o' clock today. All right, we'll see at 3 o'. Clock. Thank you for calling, everybody. All right, bye. Check us out at 3 o'.

[Justin]

Clock.

[Mike]

We'll be there. All right. Yeah, so I did, you know, I was in infantry basic training, airborne school, Air assault school. I would say SWAT trial was, you know, was hard. Dude, you've been through it. That was.

[Nick]

Yeah, it's hard. Yes.

[Mike]

And I, you know, I, I will, I'll play the card here. I had it under Jeff.

[Nick]

Yours was harder than mine. I got it the last.

[Mike]

I was. I don't care what you say. You can have anybody on that team.

[Nick]

No, true.

[Mike]

I was under John Burdock, who was a flat top, gray haired marine that from looked like Full Metal Jacket. Your life was just that much more miserable. It's like a 12 hour day of hell in the swimming, in the water, obstacle course, shooting, running, carrying. It's miserable. But then you have a guy that even on your lunch break. He put us for lunch. We went, we're at the beach. We just finished like an hour on the beach in the hot sun in August in Florida. He put us under the showers of the beach. Turn the showers on. And we had to eat lunch there. So your sandwich, you're trying to eat your. It's three, four shower heads made us all sit together. So all four shower heads are.

[Nick]

Dude, I think I have a picture of, of the day of me under the shower. Yeah, yeah. And I was at. You guys got us. Like, I, I honestly, I could honestly say when we said we were going to that other point, the other bridge,

[Mike]

and I'm like, yeah, we fool them. It's only one day job. But I'll tell you right now, it's a day, It's a day where it starts with. It starts. You get smoked for 20 minutes before the day even starts. You go do your gym standards. 20, 30 minutes.

[Nick]

He had us for like an hour, it felt. And he was a marine. He was a marine drill instructor.

[Mike]

Yeah. Our SWAT standards were. You have to bench press your body weight 5 times 5 dead hangs. Very strict pull ups with a 20 pound weighted vest on 9, 8 dips with a 20 pound weight of vest on 30 push ups 44, 50 sit ups, mile and a half, under 12. And then in there between the workout and the run, you have like a 20 minute CrossFit workout. That's just your physical standard.

[Nick]

You're missing one. You're missing one. You, you, you, you, me up.

[Mike]

We would do the standard, get everybody through. If you pass that, you could continue the day. And then it was hell. We took you to the baseball field. I'm sorry the football field. You went stadiums for 30 minutes. The field was 2 billion degrees of heat. Coming off of a hot Florida day. You were low crawling, bear crawling, doing laps of lunges, doing laps of bear crawls. Just that's now you're at like 11am Then you go get thrown in the water for 30 minutes and tread water and then obstacle course. Yeah, we have bridges so we'd run back and forth across the board. Bridges guys are holding ammo cans. Halligan's rams running for another. And the coolest part was they moved our range next to a dump. So the, the run into the range was like three and a half miles of next to the dump. In August.

[Nick]

Yeah, straight barbecue was, it was mine in August.

[Mike]

You might have done a May one. They were we for a little while there, we kicked the May in August.

[Nick]

Well, it's because of school. Because school was in, in May or at the right, at the end of May. So right when I did tryouts, the guys before me were going to school, I think just leaving for school or something like that. So you had your one year of probation.

[Mike]

We made sure that the SWAT tryout was so hard that you would go. Well somebody didn't. But you would go blow through SWAT school like it was a joke. We didn't want to send a guy to SWAT school and then have them come back. So our trial was extremely hard, difficult day. Then at the end of the day you got to go sit through an oral board, get drilled a bunch of questions. And I made it at 42. I tried out. 42 years old was when I made the team and I was in the

[Nick]

probably best we had, we had guys that were in pretty good shape drop like really good shape. And honestly, and, and honestly, I'll be straight up honest with you. I've probably prep wise I only ran my mile and a half. I never did long distance running because like you can't prep for something and you can long distance run all day. But then I'll lose my strength. I always, that's how I am.

[Mike]

I was ready, I was, I was on TR again.

[Nick]

But I, I, I don't think I struggled more than anybody else, you know. But it was just more of like it's a mindset thing. Dudes that quit is because they quit. They could have kept going.

[Mike]

SWAT school was five days. No, it was, remember it started on Friday. It was Friday to Friday.

[Nick]

Yeah, no, I got there, no, I got there on Saturday. We got there Saturday, checked in Sunday, we started the standards. And then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

[Mike]

I did, I did Friday to Friday I got ours. Nine like what, eight day, nine days. Somewhere in there it's a, ours went was at Camp Landing. Here in Florida you have agencies like Orange county does their own. Lake county does their own. Miami Dade SWAT does their own. But we went to the Florida SWAT Association School in Camp Landing. So you're on a military base and it was Friday. Mine was Friday to Friday. We got there on Friday, checked in. I'd start, you're right, it started Saturday. You're right, we got there.

[Nick]

You got there Friday night, checked in, got your barracks and all that stuff.

[Mike]

And then my bad Friday night we got there. It was very peaceful. You met at the flagpole in front of Camp Landing. They treated you very nicely. You went, you woke up that morning, they brought you to the track, you did your standards and then it was hell for you know, the first four days was like basic training hell. And then by the last three days they're trying to get you through real reps of building clearing and, and scenarios. So you're doing some less, less hell, more practical stuff. But most of the schools are like that. I know my, I talked to, we had a guy from Miami Dade SWAT on and Frank is a good friend of mine. He's a command SWAT commander, full time team. They have like 50 dudes on the team and their school is like two parts. They do the physical part first, they do like that. It's like two weeks of every day coming in, all that and then they have like a break, they make the team and then they have like a probationary like months of just like the new guy on the team.

[Nick]

I think there's a video on YouTube of it. I think some vlogger goes with them and they do like their day to day what they're doing. It's, yeah, there's, it looks pretty interesting.

[Mike]

Yes. Those guys down there in, you know, every agency is different but We. We went to blanding. So it was like military base, obstacle course, chow hall. I like that atmosphere. You know, brought me back. Chow hall atmosphere. I went to U. S. Marshals. A week long US Marshals academy there as well. When I made the marshalls task force where it was a week in the chow hall, you're getting yelled at. You have the three minutes to eat all that dumb. So it was fun to relive that at all. I was old, though. Like I said, I was probably the. My peak shape of my entire life was 42 years old. I made. I ran the mile and a half under 10 minutes. I could run like a 9:36 when I.

[Nick]

When I ran mine. I think when I ran mine at the track, I had the fastest in the. On the. For the tryout day. And I think you still beat me by like 30 seconds the whole time you look. I was so. Dude, I was so mad when I didn't run it. When I think I was.

[Mike]

When all the new guys would start, we would do like a week long. You remember we're doing like the week long get ready or two weeks out, we would have some guys show up and they would always bet all the young guys that didn't really know who I was, they'd be like, hey, if anybody unk, they call me. They said, if anybody beats unk in the mile and a half, we'll buy you lunch, buy dinner. And I could always run. I could run sub. On my worst days, I could run under 11. And when I was really getting at it, I could run sub 10 mile and a half. But those days are over now. I'm lucky to get from the couch to the. I'm a knee. My knee is better, though. I'm doing. Doing heavy Cardio. I did 500 calories this morning. I got this. I got the trainer SWAT as OP4. That was fun. They got to do physical. Yeah. I did not four stuff too cool. Pride. That's awesome. YouTuber. Yeah. Somebody I think Nick down there. Nick off duty, does the vlog with Miami date swat. I bet they weren't wearing their vests. Who are you with? Hartley.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Who's the other one?

[Nick]

That was some. I called him my ace moon. I called him my ace boon coon.

[Mike]

I went with. I went with Romeo.

[Nick]

Oh, really? I've got.

[Mike]

You know what? I got videos for my trout. You guys want to see a quick swatch out video for my actual trial?

[Nick]

I wish you guys had videos of mine. It could probably do you six sons of you with me Video.

[Justin]

Let's go.

[Mike]

Let's go back in the archives to 1953 to kind of give you guys an idea.

[Nick]

I can't find. You can see the miserableness in my face all day. So bad.

[Mike]

I got one video and I got me finishing the obstacle course at, like, the word. This is the worst part of my life right here.

[Justin]

Here we go.

[Nick]

I found it.

[Mike]

All right, Uncle Mike. All right. So this would be. This is like midday misery. It's Florida in August, and it's 2,000 degrees outside, and they would just take us out on the beach and just destroy us.

[Nick]

I sent you my two uncle six inches.

[Mike]

They're all the spot team. Just hanging around doing all this five hours into the day. And they just use you out there all day. It's so hot. All right. Need a medic, dude. The middle's got rab, though. He actually ends up in the hospital. He made it almost through the whole day, too.

[Nick]

Is that who I think it is?

[Mike]

Yeah. He's a monster. Can't take it away from him.

[Nick]

Nope. In place.

[Clint]

Hit it.

[Mike]

Roll to your left.

[Nick]

It's on the end.

[Clint]

Your other right.

[Mike]

The other right. That's all day. That's probably 45 minutes of that on the beach. And then we go in the water.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And then at the end of the day, you have to do the obstacle course. It's not pretty, but this is like when I realized all I have to do is make it through this last part and get over this thing, and I make the team pretty much. And this is like. This is like 5 o' clock in the afternoon. After all day of that stuff, he

[Nick]

get lost

[Mike]

coming over there. Yeah, it's the rain. That's me at the end. Like, all day, we change. They make a change throughout the day.

[Nick]

Good job.

[Mike]

I don't want to play it all, but that's. That was. You know, of all the things I've done, that was one of the. I was proud of that. You sent me one.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Text or.

[Nick]

I never. I sent on the coffin. I never had that. That if I just complete this, that's what sucked. If I just get to that this point, I'm done. Because we didn't know when it was going to end.

[Mike]

Yeah. I knew well that back then we knew. I knew that. Well, actually, I didn't. Here's the thing. I got done that was like 5:00 clock in the afternoon. We had been at it since 6:00am I remember rolling. You have to run after you hit the end of that rope. The ranger rope. You have to hit a sign and you're done. And there was only. There started with seven people. We were down to me and one other guy left. That was it at that point in the day. And I remember looking at my buddy and I was like, are we done? I was knelt over and he's like, I don't know. And we got in the van and we drove. We were like 30 minutes from the station. We got halfway back and somebody comes over the radio and says, hey, we're going to back to the bridges like they did to you, like we did to you. We were in the back of the van and they were like, hey, we're going back to the bridges to run the bridges again, which are a mile each way. I was like. I remember sitting there going. I looked at the dock up front. I said, you take me wherever the you want to take me because I'm not stopping. Like, you guys can kill me. You can kill me. Like, what's her name? Ruth and what's her name? And Ozark like it. You're gonna have to kill me at that point. So good times, though, man. Really good times. Before everybody turned into a dick. We got some pictures of Peaches sucking it up. Let's go. Here, Here.

[Nick]

That was after. Right after getting sand cookied and getting sucked out to shore or sucked out to sea because the waves were rolling and they. You guys put us in the waves. We were get sucked out. I had to grab Hartley and

[Mike]

let me remove.

[Nick]

Wow.

[Mike]

Remove. Good times, right?

[Nick]

Yeah. Everything was great. Yeah.

[Mike]

How's your experience then?

[Nick]

On my terms? Yeah, on my terms. So there's Peach.

[Mike]

That's. We had. We made them standard in showers when we were not there. They got haze constantly. Misery at the rain. Where's that at?

[Nick]

That's. That was that. No, that was at the academy.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Nick]

At the college. We were doing that.

[Mike]

Look at that.

[Nick]

Advanced search warrant planning.

[Mike]

There's a sign of misery. That's at the beach after they do that.

[Nick]

I'm trying to find myself.

[Mike]

All right, we're wrapping it up here in a minute. We got a contributor coming in. Let me remove this. Remove this, remove this. Make sure he's got pants on. You good? What's going on, buddy? You awake?

[Peach]

Oh, yeah, I'm. I'm doing it.

[Mike]

I'm doing that off. We got the. You and Nick got like the same shirt?

[Peach]

No, it's a onesie.

[Mike]

The whole thing?

[Justin]

The whole thing.

[Peach]

I got an eagle.

[Mike]

We're getting ready to wrap it up there. What do you got for anything New. Anything breaking?

[Peach]

Yeah, a couple breaking things. Unfortunately, it is confirmed. So yesterday, that KC135, the Shadow tanker, it's from the 950th Refueling Wing out of Cali. Air Force, obviously. And unfortunately. I said that unfortunately, six airmen are confirmed as of now, kia, and they went down over northern Iraq, so.

[Nick]

Shot down?

[Peach]

No, it's looking. It's looking like it wasn't friendly fire or enemy fire, allegedly, as of now. You know how that goes. It's looking like the top part of their back, tail, wing got damaged. The only way that could get damaged in my head would be, you know, but I'll. I'll.

[Nick]

I will.

[Peach]

I won't promote conspiracy theories on troops death.

[Mike]

So we'll see.

[Peach]

But as of now, it's 6kia, so that's what we're tracking right now.

[Mike]

That.

[Peach]

That pretty much sucks. That just came out a couple minutes ago. So six kaa. Officially, when they put it out, it was four, but rose up two more. I'm thinking that sounds like the entire flight crew. So let's hope there's no more kies that are coming out of that. What we have already is unfortunate enough. Besides that, we do have crazy TSA lines right now. So if you're looking to travel.

[Mike]

I saw Austin this morning, like a half a mile from the airport. Just to get inside. Yup.

[Peach]

Do you have the video? I got the video.

[Mike]

Send it to me. Send it to me. Send it to Copville.

[Clint]

Hold on.

[Peach]

On ig.

[Mike]

Yeah, send it to IG and Cottrell.

[Peach]

All right, I'll be right back.

[Mike]

Yeah, we'll look at that video and then we'll get. We'll get gone. But, yeah, it's all. I think he's gonna send me that same video that. It's insane. The lines and the government, they're shut down. TSA is not getting paid.

[Nick]

Yep.

[Mike]

Homeland Secure ICE is not getting paid. Air marshals. We had a bomb.

[Nick]

Yeah. It's crazy because, like, even. Even when I was in the Marine Corps, I was. We got government shutdown, so we weren't getting paid. Right. Looking back at it now, it's like. I mean, I still got paid. I had Navy Fed. So, like, they would compensate you, and then they would just take it when they got the paid. When they got the checks. They're still getting paid, man. It. You think they're not, but they. The government isn't paying them. Most bankings that they have do have insurance for that. They have money to side. They are still getting paid. So people don't think like you're working for free.

[Mike]

You're not, not everybody.

[Nick]

Not everybody. But like when the government, like when the military. Because the government shutdown. Right. Because it's a government. They are still getting paid, some of them.

[Mike]

I'm talking. I talked to a high ranking guy at, at DHS up in D.C. last week and he's like, I'm not getting a paycheck. He told me flat they're gonna get back paid.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mike]

But he said I'm not getting it. And so we'll go. Here, let me bring that video in real quick. This is I believe. Is this Austin? Yeah. Okay, here we go. You guys hear it?

[Clint]

Yeah, we hear.

[Nick]

Gosh damn.

[Mike]

Like, I mean you guys worry about gas price, you can't get in the plane. So that's what we're, that's what we're dealing with. This is one place and like you said, I mean they're not getting paid. They're, they're. I don't care what you say. TSA was already a disaster. Everybody can agree to that. Right now you got people that are low paid. Not don't look like the most reliable people. Right, Right. Maybe. And now they're, they have no, they can't pay their bills. They can't, you know, who knows how backed up. They can't pay gas maybe to get to the job. Yeah. It's only going to get worse. And the government is. That part of the government is shut down. And it's like nobody, Nobody's talking about February 14th. We're coming up on a month that, that portion of the government has been shut.

[Peach]

Tomorrow.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Peach]

And also just to keep in mind, just, just for perspective for everybody, this is the third time in six months that they had that they've been shut out like this where they haven't gotten pay. So whatever extra money or savings they had for this type of thing is done. It's been smoked.

[Mike]

If anybody knows a normal ever. And I'm not being shitty. But most, I live my life, most of my life where I didn't have money. Yeah. Yeah. The cop. I had to. I had the boat, I had the car, I had to vacations and I had the minimum payment of eight credit card like everything. All the dumb everybody does when they're younger know that feeling. If you told me, hey buddy, you're not getting paid for the next three weeks month, I'm like, well, I'm cooked. I'm going, I don't know. I guess I'll be at. I'll be, I'LL be stealing, man. Like, what are you gonna do? You know your electric.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You can't get gas to even get to work. It's like 300 people.

[Nick]

It's happening right now at sheriff's offices, too.

[Mike]

Yeah. Yeah. Locally, the budget's a disaster here, but. So now you got no gas, you got no bill campaign. Now you can't fly. So then flights are getting delayed, which is less work for pilots, which is less work. Like, it just steamrolls trickle effect. And we have. I haven't heard anything. I know there was. Last I heard, they were still meeting on Capitol Hill about the shutdown for that part of the government. But the. The feds don't. Yesterday, Democrats don't want to fund that part.

[Nick]

They don't want to drop in Moab. So.

[Peach]

Hell yeah, baby.

[Mike]

I mean, who do you blame? Who do you blame?

[Peach]

Well, I'll tell you what. Definitely Democrats, because they voted Yesterday, last night, 51.46 to still keep it closed down. Thanks.

[Mike]

Any 60?

[Peach]

Yeah, they need 60. So they need nine people to come over.

[Mike]

I know Fetterman came over.

[Peach]

Yeah,

[Mike]

Yeah, I think 31st. Yeah, Fetterman's had to come over, so. Well, it's unfortunate. That's what we're dealing with. And it doesn't look like it's getting any better. We're losing troops. We got. We got problems here. We got IEDs in New York City. We got Muslims going up in Newark. We got lines at our airports, and we got our government shut down. Other than that, hey, man, everything's okay.

[Justin]

That's great.

[Mike]

Memes are great. Podcasts are great, but everything else seems to be an absolute disaster. Yeah.

[Peach]

And then yesterday, Iran, for the first time, fired at Turkey.

[Mike]

Oh, boy.

[Peach]

Which is a NATO ally, and they fired at them specifically at Incirlik.

[Nick]

Yes.

[Peach]

So if anybody.

[Mike]

He's pretty rough, too. They don't around. Yeah.

[Peach]

Well, Turkey is a NATO member.

[Nick]

Yeah. They have. They know they have Big Brother backing them up.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Peach]

But here's the.

[Mike]

With.

[Peach]

With the whole Inculc thing. But they.

[Mike]

The.

[Peach]

The. The round that they fired yesterday at Incirlik. So just to give a quick back brief on Interlake, that's where the US Houses all of its nuclear missiles. So he housed a bunch of nuclear missiles over there. If you're not mistaken, it's about. Yeah, yeah. So if I'm not mistaken, it's about 50 nukes that we have there right

[Mike]

now shooting at it.

[Peach]

And they're shooting at it, and it got shot down in the air. And this is coming from the Turkish government that they shot at Interli and that they shot it down. That's coming from the Turks.

[Mike]

That should turn the heat up a little bit, right?

[Peach]

Well, yeah, because now it puts NATO in a rock or a hard place. It's like the video of the guy shooting the guy in the wheelchair because the guy in the wheelchair pulled out a gun on him.

[Mike]

Did you see that? Yes. Yeah. You either shoot him because he pulled

[Peach]

the gun out on you, or you don't get shot. And it's a lose lose either way.

[Mike]

Yeah, either way, it's a lose lose. We're in a new we. We're. We're in. We're in the season of America where we're in a lose. We're in a lose lose in this season. We can't.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Can't really win in this one. Yeah, it's a. It's a wild time to think all that's going on over there. We're losing. We're losing soldiers now pretty much daily. We're getting an update of some tragedy. We got, like I said, bombs in New York. We're praying Muslim in the. In the mayor's house in New York. Newark City hall is raising the Muslim flag in. In the middle of all this. And we got people that want communism in the United States. So other than that, we got.

[Nick]

We got Tyler fighting homeless people on a train to California.

[Mike]

Right now. Tyler's on his way to Cali. We got. I'm worried about getting on the damn cruise ship because it's going right out down there in Cuba, man. I don't know. I gotta go. I gotta get down there. I think I'm leaving. I'm leaving the whole country.

[Nick]

So this is crazy. Like, I look at, like, all the Pete Hessek videos and, like, all the motivational videos they're putting out, especially, like, the Marine Corps.

[Peach]

Have you seen the ones from South Park?

[Nick]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, Yeah. I brought that up when I was up there last time. I look, I look at, like, all these videos, and it's like. I'm not saying I'm like a motard by any means. Like, I knew early on I was going into the Marine Corps, but I'm like, dude, like, Pete's got something going on here. Like, I don't want to lose the beard. I don't want to lose my benefits. But, like, that would be. I'd go back in still the same rank. So it'd be like, I'd be out of the fight, but it'd be. It'd be interesting.

[Mike]

You know, there's a take. Islam is not the problem. You know, there's more Asian Muslims. I just haven't seen any Asian Muslims throwing bombs.

[Nick]

Oh, dude, you know what I saw the other day? Craziest thing in the world. I have video of it. It was a Mexican with down syndrome. Unicorn on a carnival ride too, man. Dude, I was so amazed. I'll send you the video. I'm gonna send it right now. You gotta play this. Come on, you gotta play this. Happy? I was happy for him.

[Mike]

Everybody's happy. On a Ferris wheel or America round, dude.

[Nick]

Everybody.

[Clint]

I've ever.

[Nick]

I've never seen ever a Mexican with down syndrome ever.

[Mike]

It was the third time turkey, man. They're getting brave.

[Peach]

Yeah, but this is Incirlik. That's the. That's the difference here.

[Mike]

Yeah, they aimed at a pretty serious target. All right, Send a video. This is the last thing we're doing. No, you want that one? Okay. He wants me to play

[Nick]

video.

[Peach]

Yeah, while you find that video. Mike. Yeah, I do wanna. I do want to talk about something real quick. What was your guys's first experience seeing a.

[Nick]

Can I do this? All right, so it is by far the. It's my worst fear. And I talked about this on. On the. The night show we did. If I were to come into like a domestic and it's two midgets fighting, I'd probably shoot both of them.

[Mike]

Don't say that out loud.

[Nick]

I'm scared shitless of midgets. Scared shitless. It's just. I had one. We were at a bar in Wilmington when I was in the Marine Corps. One came up and like grabbed my leg and just. It was just like, hi. And I flipped out and I took off running, dude. And then the next time I saw her, she was on top of some like 6 foot 4 chick and it looked like a mega. And I'm like, oh, dude, I'm out. Like, I can't do this anymore. It's just scary. They're not real people.

[Mike]

He got Nick with some bounds, man. They're all over you. They're all over you, dude. All right, here we go.

[Nick]

Small hands smell like cabbage.

[Mike]

His request.

[Nick]

This is not the same as.
