Good morning, sir. How are you?
- [02:22]
Dominic Izzo
Good. How'd your show go last night?
- [02:24]
Tyler
Good.
- [02:25]
Dominic Izzo
Like 800 people watching.
- [02:26]
Tyler
Yeah. You know that that's a hostile environment. Not so much. Sean is great, but it's. You're walking into a group of people that absolutely hate cops. I really don't pay attention to comments. I was laughing. Had I been a year ago, I'd have been. I wouldn't even have been able to pay attention. I would have been just watching the comments eat my ass up. But after a year of doing this, I really don't worry. But Sean brings a good point. It was about police unions and I think you and I agree on police unions and it's even worse up there. And you know what he was highlighting is they're basically using. Oh, God, cops are getting hit with snowballs, Cops are getting murdered, and nobody's going to jail. And cut. All these things have nothing to do with it. And then they say, but we need to stop First Amendment auditors because of all those things. And it's like they contribute. 0 mean, that guy in Boston we talked about that piece of. That walks up and cusses and screams and gets in their face. I don't agree with that at all. But what Sean does, I mean, he just walks up to people. He actually doesn't go up to the cops. He goes to a public place and then the cops come. And then.
- [03:27]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, I mean, I was watching for a little bit, and I, I took periodic breaks because I start. I wanted to comment so bad, but it wasn't going to be anything.
- [03:36]
Tyler
Yeah, you're gonna get roasted.
- [03:38]
Dominic Izzo
It wasn't going to be anything that would help the situation. And no, you have a really good relationship with Reyes. So I just cool it down.
- [03:46]
Tyler
I tune in, I get the cop side of it. I'm sure people are like, oh, this guy is a sellout. It's not. It's the same thing as the commie coming on. It's like, it's. It's good to hear another side of it and good to interact and, you know, for the network purposes, you know, bringing people over, maybe they want to come hate on us, that's fine. They're going to come over, bringing people over to look at our view. Maybe they're going to want to hear our side of the story. So it's. I think it's a good conversation point to have.
- [04:11]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, yeah. So really, the biggest topic of today that I found was that old Comey, the former. What's his name? James Comey.
- [04:21]
Tyler
James Comey, former FBI Director.
- [04:23]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, he was indicted again, again. But this time it's for an old social media post. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna share the screen right here maybe. And it's like I said, it's for an old social media post that he did when he was on the beach last year in North Carolina, where he put. See if I can find the picture first. Right here. He put in seashells. He put 8, 6, 4, 7. This is a cool shell formation on my beach walk. So the Trump administration felt that that was a death threat to Trump, as 86 is commonly referred to as a death threat.
- [05:11]
Tyler
Well, like, it's, like, it's. We're done, like, in the restaurant, is there's 86. Whatever we're out of. So it basically references like get rid of or we're out of it.
- [05:20]
Dominic Izzo
Members of the administration, as well as Mr. Trump's family, declare that the meaning 86 was to kill and that the Seashell message amounted to a threat to. To assassinate the president. I. Man, he's like, he's. You know how you have, like, your boy and you love him to death, but he just does dumb. Like, I don't know if it's a stunt. What do you think it is as far as indicting? Because obviously the feds are going to work for Trump now. Some of them. Some of them worked against Trump while he was in office, but clearly President Trump was behind this. Do you have him being indicted?
- [05:55]
Tyler
My take on it is he should be indicted and investigated or for all the other stuff, which I think was part of the beginning, part of what he got indicted for, which is the Hillary Clinton election scandal, the Russian disinformation, the Hunter Biden laptop, real things that this guy was. Now, this is a stretch. And this is like. I get it. Like, this is like any other social media beef. The president is king of social media beefs. Like, if he can get you, he can get you. And I think, honestly, Trump took a high road during the first term. Like, he really didn't. We thought he was going to come in and just Hillary was going to jail. He said, she's going to jail. He really took a high road. Once he took over, I think he was less wild. He's much more wild in this term. He was less wild. I think he actually tried to go, let's try to get together and do this together, right? He gets. I believe there was a scam. He gets. He doesn't win the second election. There's no way that many people voted for Joe Biden. It's impossible. So then he comes back the second time, and it's like, all right, you tried. You guys indicted me for, like, 47 things. Like, that's the game we're playing. Then I. I really not mad at him for going, hey, man, I took the high road the first term. I didn't go crazy like everybody thought I was going to do. I tried to do the right thing. You guys came after me and tried to ruin my life and not get me, not let me get reelected, even after already cooking one election.
- [07:18]
Dominic Izzo
So.
- [07:18]
Tyler
So now it's like, all right, like, you want to play? Let's play. And that's. It's kind of like you. They did it first, what do you
- [07:26]
Dominic Izzo
think will happen to James Comey after this?
- [07:29]
Tyler
I don't think I'll ever go to jail unless they dive, really dive into.
- [07:33]
Dominic Izzo
I just don't think that's enough for a death threat.
- [07:35]
Tyler
No, that. That's weak.
- [07:38]
Dominic Izzo
It's obviously just a power move. It's to show that it is.
- [07:41]
Tyler
But I believe the real problems are being lied to about the Hillary Clinton thing, being lied to about the Russian collusion, being lied to about Hunter Biden's laptop, All the stuff that ended up being true that this guy dodged. I mean, come on. Hillary Clinton deleted a. Took a hammer to a email server and destroyed it. Come on, dude.
- [08:03]
Dominic Izzo
Really?
- [08:04]
Tyler
Yeah, dude, there's insanity, man. And these guys were in charge, so they protected themselves. And that's where I was surprised. Trump didn't really dive heavier into that in his first term, but now I think he's like, it. Like, I only got one term left, and I might as well cook everybody that came after me. Is it petty? Maybe. But they really broke the law, and they did do these things. They deserve to be paid for it. We talk about all the time where we see people get away with stuff, and they're like, bro, if I did that, I'd be under the jail. Oh, yeah, dude, just because he's a FBI director doesn't mean he's not a crook.
- [08:37]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, but that's it. That's the. That's all it is. Obviously, we're back to this. These little small things.
- [08:44]
Tyler
I got it. Hold on. I got it right there. It's the third one on my screen. It is. Let me just make sure we didn't miss anything because, you know, got to deal with AI and media does not allow it to actually come out. They. They use words like allegedly. Rumors is the only reason, like, we're pretty confident what he did while he was. You know, there's FBI agents who have come out and said, you know, I was part of conversations where they said, we're going to indict President Trump no matter what.
- [09:18]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, they did it.
- [09:20]
Tyler
So it's tough to get a straight answer because Google, you know, guides you the wrong way, AI will guide you the wrong way. But I try to get in between that and, hey, man, you can't target somebody for political retaliation as the FBI director. You can't do that.
- [09:39]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, Comey's a scumbag, dude.
- [09:41]
Tyler
No, he is, dude. He is. Like, it was kind of like, you know, it's like the Epstein thing takes right now. Everybody Epstein has dancing. But again, These lied about Hunter Biden's laptop. They had the laptop in their possession. They had all the transactions, all the backdoor. The President was involved in these Ukraine deals and, and insider information and pay for play. And it was all there. And they told us, nope, it's all a hoax. It's all a hoax. It's all a hoax. It wasn't a hoax. And it just went away. Nobody paid for it. It's like, how is that possible?
- [10:15]
Dominic Izzo
That's just insane, dude.
- [10:16]
Tyler
Yeah, that dude. And you get mad at this guy because he says dumb. Like, that's where I. This is where I do. This is where I put the MAGA hat on. I gotta get the MAGA and CNN hat. This is where the MAGA hat goes on. Because it's like, this dude might be. He might say the wildest. He might piss everybody off. He might be a braces of brace of his. Hell, they indicted him and impeached him for nonsense. A phone call to Zielinski about quid pro quo and all that, that they were trying to say he was trying to bribe Zelensky. You do this, I'll do that. You have Joe Biden and his son literally involved in illegal transactions all on a email. Tell the big guy, take this much money how big guy wants this much money. Like preschool email, ability to understand that. And they just went, oh, no, it's all made up. And then it wasn't. So it's like, come on, man. It's kind of like what I do with, like, you know, if you're gonna come after me for something to say what I did was so bad, and then somebody else does something the same or worse. You can't just go, well, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna let that part go. It's. We're not gonna talk about that. It's like, you can't. You have to be transparent.
- [11:23]
Dominic Izzo
Before we get into the next topic, I went on Patreon and made a couple videos, but the Patreon. Yeah, I mean, we, we can't. Obviously. It's a great time in there. It's a good time. But I guess Patreon has booted one or two people that we're aware of. So we're.
- [11:44]
Tyler
Did they boot them or did they leave?
- [11:46]
Dominic Izzo
I don't know. I don't know.
- [11:49]
Tyler
I talked to one, the one we talked about who is sick. I'm not gonna put his business out there, but he is sick. Yeah, I get it. Like, I, I'm. I mean, obviously John's One of them that got banned. We don't have to hide that. Love it. Love everything he does. Love every comment. I think there's not. There's not a world that exists without Job being funny. Like, with everything. But we can't control Patreon. So it's like, don't get mad. I mean, and I'm not asking you don't to pay money. I'm not asking you to stay in the thing and spend your money. If you choose not to, that's fine. But don't, like, be mad at us because we can't control. We could lose the whole channel. We started talking like that they would be like, hey, you guys, are. You're done? Like, we're kicking you. We're kicking. So you have to moderate a little bit in here. It's a little more. You know, he gets away with everything.
- [12:34]
Dominic Izzo
We moderate ourselves. We don't moderate anybody else.
- [12:36]
Tyler
Yeah. AI does it. Like, I can't help it. It's like, we. We can't help. But AI determines. I mean, you said this morning about getting more people in, and I'm like, are people ready to see stuffed Kermit smashing stuff? Miss piggy in 47 different positions? Just picture after picture after picture, like, it's wild in there, dude. And I'm like, you want to bring more, like, normal people in this? Like, you need a disclaimer before you. Jojo's in there now, and it's like. She's like, yeah. She goes, have you seen this? I'm like, oh, yeah, I see it. I see it all. It's. She's like, this is great. Like, this is the wildest I've ever seen. So it's like, you got to be prepared mentally to go in there and see Kermit upside down in the handstand smashing Miss Piggy. I mean, you gotta be ready.
- [13:26]
Keto 5o
Yeah.
- [13:26]
Dominic Izzo
So, I mean, we're trying to. The Patreon. We're, you know, we're kind of like, trying to see how much, you know, because, like, when. Like, for instance, when. When I go in there, like, everybody's in there at different times, but, you know, Patreon's a good time. And, you know, until we can figure out a way. There is a way to make our own anti hero app, which operates the same way of Patreon, but it's private.
- [13:52]
Tyler
We're probably close to that with the people we got on our team.
- [13:56]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah. We don't have to worry about it kicking people out. So we're working on that. We're Doing everything we can. And I'll show up. I'll show my ugly mug in there.
- [14:06]
Tyler
Let me show everybody what I made last night. Because I take, you know, the. The crew. I want you guys to understand that, like, I act just like I act in here, and so does my spouse. We don't sugarcoat anything. So I sent her this last night after we got done on Sean Reyes.
- [14:32]
Dominic Izzo
Is that a text?
- [14:34]
Tyler
No. Well, kind of. Yes.
- [14:38]
Dominic Izzo
G. Money's chat last night was off the chain. Is the.
- [14:45]
Tyler
She loves it, dude. She loves everybody in here. And the. In the joke, the only thing she said to me was, she's like, you better tell them I'm no prude. And, you know, don't let them think you're. You're suffering. I'm like, yeah, I get it. Like, I'm not gonna go into detail, but it's a good joke.
- [15:01]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah. Yeah. I ate at the steakhouse yesterday. It's pretty nice. No, no dollar menu. I. I prefer to save my dollars and maybe just hit the steakhouse.
- [15:13]
Tyler
No, I get. I mean, it's. It's a good. It's a. It's funny. And the fact that like. Like, I see a couple guys on the Internet now, it seems as if a couple of training guys, it seems as if their wives might be, like, influencing their posts. And that's bad. I like to say that I have the ability that she's into. She's in here. She's in Patreon, and I get to act exactly like this and don't have any problems. And then the jokes are. The jokes, they're funny, and it's for the show. But I see a couple guys now recently that appear to be a little bit guided by their spouse, who is maybe in law enforcement and doesn't appreciate the jokes. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that.
- [16:00]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, I'm gonna start telling people, you want that T bone? You want that T bone? I don't know. Somebody said it.
- [16:05]
Tyler
How's your run? I didn't listen the whole video. What was your time?
- [16:08]
Dominic Izzo
Are you jealous?
- [16:10]
Tyler
No. I want to know.
- [16:10]
Dominic Izzo
You didn't listen to the whole one minute video.
- [16:13]
Tyler
No, I didn't. I hear your. No, I hear your voice enough.
- [16:20]
Dominic Izzo
I got. I shaved off, like, seconds, and I. It was better overall, so I actually don't feel.
- [16:26]
Tyler
I'm not sore. I actually have that quad happy feeling. Like, hey, you use these yesterday? Little sticks, little flamingo legs. Actually got used for a change. And I woke up this morning like, oh, I remember this. Like, it feels good to do that.
- [16:40]
Dominic Izzo
That's the benefit of peds, Mike. Is that you don't.
- [16:43]
Tyler
Oh, is that why I've recovered so fast?
- [16:45]
Dominic Izzo
I recovered so fast. I don't understand why.
- [16:47]
Tyler
Yeah, I don't understand. Like, three minutes after the run, I was fine. But I was gonna run today. I didn't. I will. Actually, you know what? Now that you did that, I will. I will. As soon as the show's over. I gotta go see my mom and go to the gym, because I did to the gym, too. You're doing two A days as well. You're working out and running. I ran this morning. Yesterday morning, Went to the gym in the afternoon. I'll go hit the gym this afternoon. I'll run again, and we'll see what happens. But I felt good. I'm glad you did it. I'm glad you motivated me.
- [17:14]
Dominic Izzo
I'm here for that.
- [17:15]
Tyler
Yeah, you're good.
- [17:16]
Dominic Izzo
Ian Bick had a guest on his show.
- [17:18]
Tyler
Oh, I got some. I got you. You got the video. I got it downloaded.
- [17:22]
Dominic Izzo
No, I don't.
- [17:22]
Tyler
I got it. I got it.
- [17:24]
Dominic Izzo
I was trying to go. I was. I was like, oh. I talked to Mike about reaching out to Ian Big because he's like, has a lot of cops on. And then I saw that his last guest. I was like, never mind.
- [17:34]
Tyler
So I don't fault him. Kind of like anything else. It's. I get it, man. He does a lot of episodes. He has a lot of people he can't vet, but this chick. And it got worse last night as the messages started coming in. I'll play the video, and then we'll go from there. That story is actually pretty funny. But when you watch this story, instead of it being the police car glass, imagine it's her forehead, and I'll just leave it at that.
- [17:59]
Dominic Izzo
His on the back of the glass in my car. I arrest this guy for dui. It was the guy that I almost literally shot. So on the traffic stop, super hammered. And then I put him in my police car. He's screaming like, you suck my dick.
- [18:13]
Keto 5o
All this disgusting stuff.
- [18:14]
Dominic Izzo
I didn't know drunk people don't really, like, feel their arms or like, anything pop out of socket. The guy pops his shoulder out of socket, literally smacks his on the back of the glass in my car, leaves the imprint. I had to deal with that screaming the whole way. And then I had to clean the snail imprint off my car. Wait, what?
- [18:33]
Tyler
Yeah, that's her story.
- [18:35]
Dominic Izzo
Okay, so what's the real story?
- [18:36]
Tyler
I mean, I Don't know the story of that traffic stop. But no, I was saying, imagine that she's getting smacked in the snail trails going across her forehead, because that's what she's famous for over there. For the backstory is, obviously, she was local to our studio. Two different agencies, both of them allegedly didn't hack it at either of them, decided she wanted to be a reality star, quit to go do reality star work, tried to come back to the agency she was at.
- [19:02]
Dominic Izzo
They said, oh, last time I was, I tracked anything about her. Someone said that she did go on a reality show, she quit her job for it, and then she tried to
- [19:10]
Tyler
come back, she went to another agency in South Florida, forgot to tell them that she's an Internet. Use your own expletive. And like, right in the beginning of her fto, they went, yo, what is all this garbage you're doing on the side? We don't get down with that. And they under an fto. So it gets a little more interesting. This is a message received or in the comments section.
- [19:32]
Dominic Izzo
First department, she wasn't performing two standards. That's true. I think that was OPD while in the field training program. Second department, she quit to do reality tv. That was Cloud Saint Cloud, one of the two.
- [19:45]
Tyler
Yeah.
- [19:46]
Dominic Izzo
And tried to come back, but they said no. The third department, I believe, was due to her outside employment. She did not disclose to her new agency while on probation. Bam. Really? They know it well.
- [19:56]
Tyler
They. They work with her. And there's people that. There was many more. I was listening to voice messages coming through last night about scandals and being at command staff members, houses and all that cool stuff that comes with the job.
- [20:07]
Dominic Izzo
And allegedly, I was always at command staff's parties and stuff like that.
- [20:12]
Tyler
You know, that's their house. I'm talking about at their house. Like, no party going on just over there.
- [20:16]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, yeah, allegedly.
- [20:18]
Tyler
Allegedly. That's what I heard. So, you know, she tells her story, and everybody's got a story. Everybody embellishes the story. But when you. When you listen, I listen to part of most of it. And it's like, you can't just get on when everybody knows you and you've made yourself some fake star and then tell lies where everybody that worked with you knows it's a lie. Everybody, like multiple people messaged like, like 3, 4, 5 people that had seen it were messaging like, this is all false. This is the. That's where I come into transparency and being up, honest and upfront, like, hey, man, I. I got cooked. I did tick tock I got investigated. Like you're not gonna get a one up on me. But she actually tried it on like a massive platform. We'll see how that pans out in the long run for her.
- [21:01]
Dominic Izzo
At full disclosure, she has been on an anti hero live way back in the day. She was invited without my knowledge by my former co host. So I show up to the live at like seven and he, my former co host goes, I got a guest coming. I go, who? He goes, I can't tell you. And I'm like, why can't you tell me? And he's like, it's a surprise. He's like, you would have said only
- [21:24]
Tyler
guess he ever planned.
- [21:26]
Dominic Izzo
He was like, yeah. He's like, you would have said no. I was like, okay. And I'm, you know, at the time I should have like many times been like no, it's not happening. And then she shows up and I'm like, oh, that makes sense. Brent supports
- [21:44]
Tyler
par for the course.
- [21:46]
Dominic Izzo
So yeah, she was on a live a long, long time ago.
- [21:51]
Tyler
And it's, it's, it's one of the, and she's one of the like. So we had, we talked, we talked yesterday about the. Yeah, I talked yesterday. The streamlight scandal where they pulled the female off their story.
- [22:03]
Dominic Izzo
That's off their post.
- [22:04]
Tyler
She's the same boat. Like I see her on videos and she's doing the same thing with rifles and guns. She cannot shoot. She has no shooting stance, no skills, no tactics. And I get, I guess I get if you're trying. I mean I don't get it because I don't get selling my soul to admin for promotion and movement within the agency and I could never get behind you and I would never do it. We would never go, hey, we're going to bring on this absolute female to just flaunt around and try to get our more views and likes. I'd rather not have them.
- [22:31]
Dominic Izzo
I'd rather not have them, boys. Can you imagine? Oh, Nick tried bringing a female on his show.
- [22:36]
Tyler
How'd that go? I missed it.
- [22:38]
Dominic Izzo
You can't, you can't. There just. This isn't a show for females. Our wives, due to respect for the 99 and their respect for us, our wives I think catch a free pass, but you don't got a ring on it. And you're, you're coming on this show. It's not a place for women. I mean it sounds terrible. I'm, I'm joking more or less. Obviously everybody is joking, but it's pretty hard. It's for the boys. It's locker room talk.
- [23:03]
Tyler
But you know, my point is male or female because I would do the same thing for a male. You can't come on a big platform and fabricate when you've been on a reality show. I mean there's so much out here on her. She says it's stupid. So I didn't post it. But there's a video of her using like the same thing I got in trouble for using the nword and like rap lyrics. And I'm like, it's petty. Like I'm not going to post that, but it's there. So you go to be a celebrity and you go to start trying to be some superhero. But some of these companies, man, they'll look at that and go, I would rather sell to anybody. These cops that. Because if you follow her and you think she's a good cop, you're a. So you're already mentally challenged and probably eating paste. But if they can get those paste eating people to buy their product, I guess that's what they're going after. But Streamlight learned very quick yesterday they refute. Didn't answer my DM either. They read it, but they learned very quick yesterday that the real dudes out there using these lights and getting shot at and breaking windows and stuff don't appreciate some female unpacking a flashlight that has no idea what she's doing with it.
- [24:08]
Dominic Izzo
When somebody, when somebody, you know, you're out there working and they're out there doing social media and then they get chosen to be the face of a company that was flashlight you use. You know, obviously these guys probably wouldn't want to be the face, but they're like, I can think of tons of dudes out there that would be the a good face. They're hard workers or go getters or dope boys or not dope boys or jump out boys. They're goons.
- [24:35]
Tyler
Yeah, they could reach out to us and say, hey, do you got. I got a whole bunch of guys that are out there every. All those guys up in Myrtle beach, man, the coastal hitters dude, those guys are up there getting after and it's like you pick some chick that literally wears fake nails, pink handcuffs, all that garbage, sits in her car, makes videos, that's her starbies order from the drive through. Listen, my Starbucks owner and you're gonna tell her to unpack a tactical light that goes on a rifle or a gun and think you're gonna touch like the SWAT guys or the jump out guys and, and that's a good idea. Not a good idea. Not a good. I'm a mod, like, guy. For those saying streamlight is trash, I actually reached out to mod light and they haven't responded yet. I was like, hey, this is a good time to. We're looking for. We're on the light topic if you guys are interested. But mod light is absolutely, I think, far superior anyway. And that's what. You know, my wife has been to some very. She went to a couple real serious low light classes for shooting at night and like four days of straight hell at night, every night. And she knows lights, and I know she uses my light on everything.
- [25:41]
Dominic Izzo
She knows lights.
- [25:43]
Tyler
She does. I was. I got distracted by the popping. Yeah, she know. I mean, she's done it,
- [25:51]
Dominic Izzo
but yeah. Today's show, we got a couple guests. Our first guest is Mike Morgan. And our second guest is Huck Finn Barbell. He's back. Our third one's 1 of the 99 of self. Always in the chat's keto five zero.
- [26:05]
Tyler
Oh, hell yeah. So without further surprise, I got a surprise guest. It's a midget stripper from. I just wanted to surprise you. A female cop midget stripper, who is the worst person on the Internet, by the way.
- [26:19]
Dominic Izzo
We're gonna fit that in between Mike and Huck Finn.
- [26:22]
Tyler
I'm just kidding.
- [26:23]
Dominic Izzo
What's up, Mike?
- [26:25]
Mike Morgan
I said kick Mike out of the room. Bring the female midget stripper in first.
- [26:33]
Dominic Izzo
You've been podcasting for a couple minutes now. You put out about an episode a week, right?
- [26:39]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, doing about an episode a week. Probably about a year and a half into it now, you know, still a rookie compared to you guys, comparatively speaking. But getting up there.
- [26:49]
Tyler
Keep it. Keep it easy, man. Don't try. Don't bite it all the way off.
- [26:53]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, trust me, brother. I'm trying to do that. By the way, I was watching Liberty Risk. That. That was. So far, what I've seen is. That was a great podcast, bro. That. Who's that? Kevin is the big guy. That dude is hilarious.
- [27:07]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, he's a good dude. He's funny.
- [27:09]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, he really is, man.
- [27:11]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, he likes to drink the whiskey too, man.
- [27:15]
Mike Morgan
I was talking to Xander Glean, the guy I sent you the info about. His former PJ was on there one time and they got boxed. He's like, bro, I thought I had CTE by the end of that podcast. That's how drunk I was.
- [27:31]
Dominic Izzo
So you. I mean, you've been with counterculture for probably seven or eight months now.
- [27:37]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, that's about right. I would say seven, eight, a little less than a year.
- [27:41]
Dominic Izzo
So if anybody doesn't know, we have our in house shows that, you know, me, Mike and Justin all pretty much host them all except for the girls. But we have the, the, the shows that aren't hosted by us, that are owned by us but are still part of the network like Resilient Warrior, beyond the Barrel, Copville Donut Shop, podcast. Like these are all podcasts that are their own entities that happen to be under the collective umbrella of counterculture. So. But you just now, last month, two months ago released a book.
- [28:17]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, about what are we in April? So three months ago. Yeah, about three months late January. Right. Here, let me grab this baby. Called the Resilient Warrior. And yeah, just kind of essentially my life story talks about my childhood trauma that I never really realized that I'd suffered and my 30 year PD career. My childhood trauma is something that most of us who enter the policing and military professions have when we enter, but we do not realize it because it's our normal.
- [28:54]
Dominic Izzo
The. What do you talk about your childhood trauma in the book?
- [28:57]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, I do, I do. It's not. Yeah, I mean it's. Listen, I've had guys come on my podcast, talk about brave. I'm not brave. I thought guys speak about. I have one that's going to be dropping within I think the next two weeks, if not already dropped that his mother was a prostitute. She prostituted him out to other men when he was a nine year old boy. You know, to come on and speak publicly about that takes balls the size of Wisconsin as far as I'm concerned. And I could be more proud of the guy. I've had multiple men come on here and speak about sexual abuse and you know, I've only realized the extent of that problem in this country over the past two years and going to various psychedelic ceremonies that I've attended mostly for first responders and, and military veterans. Guys, they say 20% of men have been sexually abused in their lives. I say at least double that. And I am talking, you know, I'm not going to speak publicly about guys who haven't. But I'm talking about absolute tip of the spear. Special force operators.
- [30:05]
Dominic Izzo
Are men. Are men typically sexually abused while they're younger or these stats for adult males too? I mean, because at the end of the day I'll be the first one to say it out loud. Sexual abuse to a minor is just. Although men can be sexually abused as an adult, it's just different if they're a Young, young boy.
- [30:24]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, I agree. I mean, first of all, you're taking away their innocence, and, you know, not to mention, they're this helpless little child and they have to live with the rest of their lives. But, yeah, in my experience, most of these guys have had that done to them when they were young. But I've had, at least, I think, three instances. Instances of guys speaking about military sexual trauma where they were traumatized by their own guys. I mean, one guy spoke about being held down by six of his platoon mates. I was in the military, so I don't know what you call it, but the guy, you know, the guys who were with him, the closest to them in the barracks, and a beer bottle shoved up his ass. Like, how the do you even think about that? When you start thinking about, I'll do in a man's pants right then and there, something should jar in your head, be like, nah, this is not a good idea.
- [31:14]
Dominic Izzo
Holy.
- [31:15]
Tyler
Yeah, I think that, like you said, I think it happens more than you think. And I know there was a fire department incident not too long ago where the. They ended up getting arrested. There was about six months ago, same thing, like a hazing incident that went
- [31:27]
Mike Morgan
to that level, like a broom or something.
- [31:29]
Tyler
And, you know, this dude's got to go tell the cops. Like, yeah, all my buddies shoved a broom up my ass. Like, pretty embarrassing. But how long do you put up with that and get. You know, it's nonsense.
- [31:38]
Dominic Izzo
It's awful, man.
- [31:39]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, humiliating. So, you know, the fact these guys come on and speak publicly about what they've suffered just so other men can realize that, you know, they're not alone and can raise their hand and get help. You guys know whiz buckley, right? Former F18 pilot. Okay, so, all right, he's in, like, the psychedelic space. He started a couple of foundations to bring soldiers and first responders to psychedelics, but he spoke about being abused when he was a child. And the clip of he and I speaking about it was, you know, preemptive thing on Broad, on publicizing our podcast. And I just spoke in the fact about you. You guys shouldn't be embarrassed. There's nothing you did wrong. These perps are the ones who should be six feet under. Raise your hand and get help if you need it. You've been living with this your whole life. And some guy from Texas reached out about a week later and said, I heard that little clip. It was like a minute long. And he's like, I realized I've been living with that my entire life. And I reached out to a buddy of mine who I thought was very empathetic, and he listened as I told him his story. And as soon as he gets done telling the story, the guy tells him the same thing happened to him as a child. Yeah. How crazy is that, bro? And he's like, I got a therapist now, and I want to start working through it. He's like, you changed my life just by talking here in that one minute clip.
- [32:58]
Dominic Izzo
Do you. Do you. Do you. Do you keep it. Your background and what happened to you and you're being victimized. You. You talk about it in your book.
- [33:08]
Mike Morgan
I mean, I was not sexually abused. Mine was more. I was really very, very stern father. Thank God, you know.
- [33:14]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, just physical abuse.
- [33:16]
Mike Morgan
Yeah. I was more mental, to be honest with you.
- [33:18]
Dominic Izzo
Okay.
- [33:20]
Mike Morgan
I mean, I'm sure maybe there was physical, I don't know, back in the day, as you guys know, man, you spoil the child if you spare the rod. So I don't know. Never bothered me. You know, I heard at the time, but I don't look back at that with any type of disdain. It was what it was. It was just a mental. Like my father was just incapable of. Of speaking to me. It was criticism, put downs, like my entire life, you know, pretty severe. And, you know, a lot of times we'll minimize our trauma because what I'm talking about is nothing compared to what we were just talking about two seconds ago. But my trauma is my trauma. You can't compare what you suffered in any way.
- [34:00]
Dominic Izzo
It's apple origins for sure. We always talk about how, you know, tons of people have ptsd and it's from, you know, obviously the. I think the most common one is probably like military ptsd, because maybe that's where they started venturing in the process of seeing people that were up and then that kind of trickled down. Now you got first responder PTSD and, you know, just regular victims of ptsd.
- [34:22]
Tyler
You know, biggest problems we see, and it's especially in our alpha male field, is if we don't understand the person's PTSD or trauma, we minimize it or make fun of it.
- [34:34]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah.
- [34:34]
Tyler
Because it just doesn't. But it's like you something that bothers you. Like, I'm guilty of it. I don't. I saw the worst of the worst. It just never bothered me. And there's things that have happened to me, though, that bother me every day, and I can't get them out of my head. And it has nothing to do with being a cop. So it's Just one of those weird things where we just. Oh, that's. I don't. I'm good with. And then in this mass field of alpha men, it's almost taboo, until recently, to even suggest you have some type of issue with a call you went on or, you know, a child being injured or hurt or whatever it may be in this job. We. We went years and, you know, I think you and I talked about that, Mike, when you came on, we went years and years and years where just. You weren't allowed to say anything. You could be on the verge of suicide. And it was like, if I say anything, I'm a. I'm a weak dude. Everybody's gonna, you know, disown me. I'm not part of the brotherhood anymore. And it was. It's a difficult road for these guys to walk that have those problems.
- [35:29]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah.
- [35:29]
Mike Morgan
It's truth. And you know what's funny is I remember going through my career because I worked In Atlanta, the first 10 and change, extremely violent place. And I expected to, you know, get in, you know, deadly force situations. And I did a couple times, but I never had to use it. And I could never reconcile the fact that I would see and hear about other guys who suffer from PTSD when they got any shootings, good shootings. I'm not talking about bad, where it was deadly force, who was kill or be killed. And yet they had a problem reconciling the fact that they had to take a life. And I literally would. Would. For 30 years. Man on. Just on cardio alone in the gym for 30 minutes a day, I would picture shooting scenarios, stabbing scenarios, fighting multiple guys. Every time I would picture a scenario, something went wrong. So it was already like I was playing it in case it happened in real life. It was already done a thousand times, and it was me killing people over and over in my head. And it wasn't a fascination with death. It's just if it happens. And I just could never reconcile the fact. And I thought guys are weak, like, who were suffering from that. But I have a vastly different perspective now. You know, listen, taking a life is very serious a matter. And just because the guy, you know, was going, willing to take yours doesn't mean that you can't have second and third thoughts about it and think about his family and, you know, what it meant to them. Like, there's a lot of dynamics at play here.
- [36:48]
Tyler
Yeah. And we all say because we're conditioned. You when you ask the question, we're all ready, right? We're all ready. We're going to be great. We're never going to have a problem with it until you do. And then it goes down. I think it goes down another rabbit hole to like, like Uvalde, where all these guys, probably every briefing said they would charge down a hallway to save children. They would do whatever it takes to go down. And I'm dying with gloves, glory and 300 dudes stood there and went, I don't know if I can do that. Like, whether they were told not to, whether they didn't have it in their gut, I'm not going to judge that. But those situations are. We sit in front of a briefing or, or a group of guys all the time and alpha male out and show our chest that we're going to do all these things. And then when that day comes, maybe you just weren't ready and your brain shuts down and says, I'm not going to go into that building. And now you gotta live with that. So it's like there's just multi layers
- [37:36]
Dominic Izzo
and like the whole. I mean, that sucks too, because if the guys, let's say, I mean, the guys made the wrong decision, but let's say, let's just go ahead and say there were some guys there that made the wrong decision. They've got to live with that for the rest of their lives. And no one, I mean, I'm pretty cynical. I don't think many people care, but they've got families. They've gotta, they've got to live out another 40 years on this earth thinking about that, you know, and that's a tough one, dude. That's a very tough scenario because naturally be like, well, go yourself. You let kids die. But then now we're gonna go let this person possibly, you know, go down the worst rabbit hole of their life. Tough conundrum.
- [38:15]
Tyler
Then that's an active shooter, which is difficult. I mean, I've been involved in homicide cases where I was a lead on one of the bigger cases in this agency that's unsolved. And it's like you have a dead old lady and you just. I think about all the time, like, it's like, what do I do? Like, I think I did everything I was supposed to do, I tried to do, but that'll never go away. I remember the day I got called, the day everything as it developed, it's been, you know, years and years now. I think it was 2017 when she went missing. So it's like that never goes away. It's like, could I have done this? Should I have done that better? Could I have been better here? Could I have been better there? And you don't know you're going to be ready for that until it happens. And some guys can handle it and be okay, and some guys just off they go. And that's where it's. We have to, you know, I know comedy, I'm rough, I'm tough, we make a lot of jokes. But at some point it's like we have to make sure guys don't destroy themselves.
- [39:05]
Dominic Izzo
Or I have a question far worse. At what, at what point? Mike, you probably have researched this a lot and thought about it as a man. At what point do you have to go, okay, well, I can't let people that depend on me see me in a vulnerable status. Because I think that's a lot of what, why we're, as men, we're so like, you know, stoic and nothing bothers us. And then that's why guys go and take their own life is because I do believe there is an expect expectation of, you know, your kids don't need to see you often breaking down. Your kids don't. And I honestly think even your wife, I think very, very, very seldomly in life do you need to like, you know, hit your wife's arms and, you know, have her be a rock in the household for a minute. But I think it's that, it's that, that balancing aspect of it, I, I
- [40:03]
Tyler
think it, it's very sneak to my version of it. It's very sneaky when it comes, when it actually gets to that point, because we're all, you know, we all get feeling sorry for ourselves over dumb stuff, right? A lot of dumb things that don't really matter. I should have got promoted or, you know, little things, anything. But when it actually happens, you're right. There is a point where you go, you have to know, like, this is the breaking. For me, it was, you know, the situation happened with my spouse that I couldn't control and I had no idea. And when I got hit with that, it was like, that was the first time when I actually thought about what you just said and go, I am in a position right now where I can't get through this.
- [40:45]
Mike Morgan
Much. Really thinking deep on that one,
- [40:50]
Tyler
you know. But then I finally hit the point where it was like, I can't get rid of this. I don't know what to do. And I did. I finally said, you know what? I'm not going to try to run from this. I've preached all these things I've claimed to be Some tough guy. And sometimes. Sometimes tough guys have to be weak for a little bit to go, hey, I'm. I'm a human as well. So that's kind of the way I dealt with it and the way I look at it. And then, you know, just like men, though, we dust ourselves the off, we get back up and we me go, okay, like, I'm gonna figure that out. But I got responsibility still.
- [41:20]
Mike Morgan
Yeah, but see, we just did. Why'd you say you were weak?
- [41:23]
Tyler
Because I felt. Yeah, you're right. I felt some way I shouldn't have thought I felt or I didn't maybe just, you know. Yeah, society wouldn't expect me to feel that way or I. It was something, you know, and it is. It's a weak feeling, but I'm okay with it now. At the time, I was not. But now I'm okay going, yep, destroyed me. Like, I am. I am beat because of that.
- [41:43]
Mike Morgan
Yeah. I mean, to echo your sentiments, when I was going through it at my worst, I told my wife, basically, I'm not feeling myself. Like, that's how I expressed the fact that I was waking up every day fucking depressed and had this anger, rage and depression inside of me. Like, baby, I'm just not feeling myself. Because, yeah, you do feel weak. You don't want to come clean. You don't want to be vulnerable, even though it's the person closest to you in life. Like, you want your wife to feel protected and you feel like if you're saying things like that, she's not going to be like, you know, where is my alpha male? He's no longer here to protect me. So, yeah, totally understood. And, you know, when I finally. I don't even want to say came clean, I was just. I. I went into psychedelics and I knew I needed help in my own mind. When I say I needed help and I raised my hand, it was with myself. It wasn't like I was telling my wife or anyone else, like, man, I am in so bad of shape right now. I just. I need this and that. And maybe that was wrong of me. Although I don't think I really felt like I was that bad in it. But I knew I needed some help. Like, I didn't think it was going to rectify itself.
- [42:45]
Tyler
Yeah, man, it's. You know, you're right. But it's out there. And the only thing. There's always a caveat, though. The only thing I. And it has to be police. Like, everything else is open. Guys don't take advantage of it, you know, the mental health help. And then like, oh, I got away. I can get out of law enforcement. We saw, you know, in the military, I saw it and basic training guys realized if they said they were going to kill themselves and they got their shoelaces taken out, they could go home. And it was like used a lot. So it's like, with everything that's good for us, we have to make sure. We also have the foresight to make sure it's not abused as well. Where guys go, I got yelled at on a call and now I'm, you
- [43:26]
Dominic Izzo
know, it can't be abused. But it also, I mean, look at anything. A guy goes, a guy, let's say a guy gets, gets help whether he likes it or not. Every state has what we call in Florida the Baker act, where you are involuntarily committed against your will, if that's the need be. And you know, they'll, they'll say, oh, it's covered by hipaa. Your neighbors are going to know your code.
- [43:49]
Mike Morgan
Oh yeah.
- [43:50]
Dominic Izzo
Your family's going to know, your friends.
- [43:52]
Tyler
Cops are going to talk so much. It's going to go all over.
- [43:55]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, yeah, it'll be, it'll be on, it'll be texted out within a two minutes the whole department will know that
- [44:00]
Mike Morgan
you've been, oh, telecom, telegraph. It's amazing, man. Simon. So, yeah, Mike, I think that answer your question is the biggest, you know, thing that's going to stop the abuse is that people, you know, words going to get out. It just cannot. People are going to wonder, you know, the first thing you wonder is where's your boy? And then, you know, it's going to trickle down what happened and people don't listen. If you're suffering that greatly, then it's, you know, you don't, you're not really gonna be bothered that much by it. But if you're faking it and you're walking around with that diagnosis, man, you know, it's like an albatross hung around your neck.
- [44:35]
Tyler
Yeah, no, I mean, I mean I remember like I have a buddy of mine that's really tough and hardcore and there was very few things that ever rattled him and I've only seen really one. I'm not gonna say it because it would give him away, but I, I, you know, I'm able to reach out to him and just say, hey dude, my, my lost my mind about this. Like you gotta have that one person version. Some or one or two people you can go to. And I go to him, I'm like, am I. No, dude, you're. You're legit. Okay. Just making sure I'm not psycho. Like, making sure you under. You know, understand. He's a very good judge for that. But it's not. It's not. I guess I can say it's not the end of the world either that we think it is. And we get that situation where we almost put asking for help and going through what Tyler just described as worse than the problem. So we just let the problem simmer till we do something absolutely un. Fixable instead of just going, hey, this is going to suck for a while. This is going to be really embarrassing, like making tick tocks. This can be very embarrassing, but at some point it's going to be okay. And it's hard, really hard to get people to see that. They usually just keep burning the candle on both ends on this side, and then eventually it just maps out one day and it's over.
- [45:43]
Dominic Izzo
Jefferson newbie, super chat of five bucks. The worst thing one can do is isolate, find your tribe and lean on that. If you see. See somebody isolating, bring them into your tribe. And I mean, I remember we've talked. We've talked about the show, man. Like, we, We're. I know we call our fan base the 99 because we're just the average dudes, you know. No, no Special forces dudes. No all. You know, I almost said no authors, but you're a technically average.
- [46:09]
Tyler
No doctors.
- [46:10]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, no doctors, no astronauts. But, you know, we, we. We're roasting each other in real time in the chats. But at the end of the day, I know for a fact that, you know, if somebody needed help, we've done it on the show. We've done it. We've had people say some things in these. In the super chats, and a bunch of people reached out to them, and then we found out a week later they got help. But that was, you know, that was surreal. So, you know, find your tribe is exactly right.
- [46:38]
Mike Morgan
Oh, yeah. I'm just. I'm working on a speech for a presentation, and I just wrote a line and it said the words, I'm fine will kill more warriors than any bullets ever will. And that's the truth. I was just telling about a story. My Buddy committed suicide in 05, and I asked him how he was doing prior to. And I knew he was addicted to painkillers. He had a bunch of hockey injuries. He was going through a bunch of things, and he's like, I'm fine, Morgz. And I just kind of let it go.
- [47:05]
Tyler
And,
- [47:07]
Mike Morgan
you know, true words can never be spoken. That I'm fine is especially the way it's said. You need to dig deeper because, man, that's what we all. I'm fine, bro.
- [47:20]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah. Some of the most chilling things, too, is when people post, like, final days of people that have killed themselves, and they look happier than ever.
- [47:29]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [47:31]
Mike Morgan
They're a piece. They know what's coming.
- [47:33]
Tyler
I had a good friend, fireman, and he did. He and his. He looked fine. He was greatest, dude. When I almost. The close I ever came to dying was drowning, trying to save somebody. He pulled me out of the water. He was everywhere. He was always on a call, and he actually posted and then went and committed suicide on Facebook. But up until that post, you had no idea. Dude was the most bright, smiley, happy every time you seen him, didn't talk about himself. How's it going, bro? Oh, man, that call you went on, that was awesome, dude. Like, I saw you saw your mom, and then one day just posts on Facebook and goes and does it. And you're like, how the did that happen? Like, where did we miss. Where do we miss that one, the nicest, friendliest, most outspoken, just cool dude. And you're like, man, that guy's got that type of problem. Like, it's. It's. Sometimes it's unbelievable when it happens.
- [48:22]
Mike Morgan
Yeah. It's amazing you could bury it that deeply. You know, it's almost like he's an actor. Like, he's got that, you know, that mask on every single day of his life for every moment to not let anyone in to see. You know, sometimes like, that you're like, never would have seen it. You can. You can analyze it a thousand times, and you never would have seen it coming. Other times, though, guys will make comments or, you know, you'll just see behaviors that, you know, Troopy told. Maybe you should have paid a little bit closer attention to.
- [48:49]
Tyler
Yeah, tough, man. Tough. Sometimes.
- [48:52]
Dominic Izzo
What was it like changing the subject just a little bit, but not really. What was it like writing a book? And I mean that by the actual process of writing a book, whether you're writing a children's novel or your book. And then what was the process, right, of, like, writing it and did it open up any weird pathways in your brain that was hard to deal with, and. Or did you kind of already have everything and you just wrote it down?
- [49:15]
Mike Morgan
No, I. You know, initially, I was gonna write an outline, and I'm like, you know what? I just want to let it flow. And I just started Chronologically from when I was a kid. Basically sat on the couch, had my, my Mac and just started typing away. And whatever came to me, came to me. I mean, there were memories I hadn't thought about and I don't know how many years. You know, situations and you know, every time I was basically talking about a story, it was for contextual purpose. You know, like when I was telling police stories, it wasn't just to tell police stories, it was about either, you know, the danger that shocked the shit out of me when it happened. The fact that it really affected me mentally and I realized it. You know, everything had some sort of contextual basis to it and you know, it's very cathartic. I mean I, I cried several times as I wrote the book. Funny, something I, I had not done my entire, my entire adult life. I think I cried four times essentially when my dogs died.
- [50:13]
Dominic Izzo
Each.
- [50:14]
Mike Morgan
Each time I had put down a dog, I didn't cry. My father passed, when my mother passed, when I went through my divorce, I started to cry. My cousin story had a two year old found floating in a pool call in 2018. And after we resuscitated her and hand her off to the paramedics, I had to standby for three hours with the. As detectives processed the scene of a crime scene in case it became a death. And her grandparents were there and they were responsible for watching the kids during this family party. And I had to listen to that visceral cries and screams for three hours in one call. 30 years. I started welling up with tears. I, I went to go behind the pool and cry and I was like, can't cry. Stop myself immediately would have been the best thing I could have done. But you know, we don't do that. We don't show emotion. And you know, that was it. So the writing was very cathartic.
- [51:05]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, I can, I can imagine.
- [51:06]
Tyler
Dude, those are the worst. Those worst. Oh, that's like that. Yeah, those, those family. Well, even just shrieks are nothing that I remember.
- [51:18]
Mike Morgan
You never forget them.
- [51:20]
Dominic Izzo
Very common calls as a, as a first responder, just death calls. Just naturally peaceful deaths. Sometimes a little bit more accidental. A heart attack kind of out of nowhere death. But all. It doesn't have to be a, like a, a horrible incident. We, I mean I was doing death calls almost like once a shift. It seemed like at one point. And it's. You're right, it's the visceral screams of the family. It's being in that negative energy in that room where they're going through every phase of learning that their loved one's dead, when they show up, they're freaking out. You finally get a calm, Somebody comes, reignites her, and it's like on and on and on. And that awkwardness of, like, now you're standing in a room with your computer going, do you have a driver's license? While they're like, ah, you know, become. Then you become callous to it. And that's even worse because you're becoming callous to something that's not.
- [52:17]
Tyler
The suicides really suck because you have to treat it like a homicide. You can't just go into every suicide call like, okay, good, we're done. Like, you have to kind of ask a grieving, you know, spouse or mother or father. I know, sorry, but where were you? Like, was it? And it just sucks, man, as a detective to have to ask those questions to somebody that you're like, man, like, this dude's going through it already. And I'm asking these stupid questions like, yeah, what time are you at Popeyes? What time did you get up? What time? And these people are trying to grieve. You have to, though, unfortunately, in the world of investigations, you have to. But that's the things. I'll go on the soapboxes with these guys that they want to promote quick or go to detective quick, and they want to be cool. They're not thinking about those days. They're thinking, you know, you know, cool clothes and. And an unmarked car and three hour lunches. It's not. It's not.
- [53:10]
Mike Morgan
Yeah. It's so intrusive. You're just sitting here like, man, I do not want to be in the Middle east poor people right now as they're going through it. But the best thing you could do is be the most compassionate you could be. Because I'll tell you one thing, they're not going to remember your name. They're not going to remember what you look like 30, 20, 30 years. But they're going to remember every single thing you said at that scene. And I remember one twice. I was at death notifications with homicide detectives in Atlanta, and they were less than, you know, it's something they did on a regular basis. These guys are both dope boys. And, you know, it just really bothered me because no matter what this kid was doing, it was still his mother's son. And to go there and deliver that with anything less than, you know, just muster up some things.
- [53:53]
Tyler
I want to touch on that after Tyler reads that super chat.
- [53:56]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, Joe, ring 10 bucks looking for meaning and direction sent me down the Christianity rabbit hole. It me out on the other end, but initially taught me discernment. Philosophical ethics is what saved me from myself. A lot of big words in there, Joe. You surprised I read it, huh? Hey, by the way, Mike, do you have yours? An audio. An audiobook?
- [54:18]
Mike Morgan
No, I do not. I've been encouraged to do it, but, hey, I can't imagine anything.
- [54:23]
Tyler
Welcome to the book. You gotta go read it. But what I was gonna say is
- [54:26]
Dominic Izzo
people that can't read.
- [54:29]
Mike Morgan
That's a great question.
- [54:31]
Tyler
We know Tyler will ever write a book because he won't get past, like, the beginning
- [54:38]
Mike Morgan
doing an AI like everyone else does.
- [54:39]
Dominic Izzo
Magnetotron.
- [54:42]
Tyler
This chapter is called Sharks,
- [54:45]
Huck Finn Barbell
Baby Sharks.
- [54:46]
Tyler
Just a picture of a shark. I love sharks. Chapter three.
- [54:51]
Dominic Izzo
All right, Mike, what were you going to say?
- [54:52]
Tyler
I was going to say the. The black neighborhood, black culture is much worse when it comes to. Not only worse, bad when it comes to deaths. The entire family shows up.
- [55:03]
Dominic Izzo
Not.
- [55:04]
Tyler
Not one or two. Not mom and dad and sister. You're talking like 300 people sometimes show up and just hang around the yard and they want. It's just a culture thing. And that makes it even worse because you got to deal with one or two people, usually on a death, three or four. You get everybody there. And you see, you know, the. The closeness of the. The family and all that stuff in those. In those environments. And those are. Those were the toughest for me, you know, and it is. A lot of times it's gang violence or violent crimes, shootings. But even just a regular death in a black neighborhood, there was much more family involvement. And family. A lot of religion comes in, a lot of praying. Oh, you have to be able to navigate that and not be like, nope, this is my crime scene, lady. You're gonna stay outside. You got to be able to filter. Now, if obviously it's a homicide, you have to do a little bit. When it's a natural, you have to be ready to go. I'm gonna be here five hours instead of two, because I'm gonna have to be very friendly and let these. You know, let the people come in and let the people see their loved one and be ready to understand the differences in culture and be open to that, because this is the last time they're going to see this person in an environment that's not a funeral home or a funeral. So it's just little things you don't think about. Again, when I was talking about detective stuff like you, that's a huge thing in the black Community is that. And also like you said, mama comes and Caesar's kid, that they want to be updated way more than usually a white family. They want like daily or every two days. What's good? Even if you have nothing, I would always say just call the mom, go to her house and just tell her we're still getting search warrants, we're still working. You just have to know how to navigate those things. And it's, it's, it's important to do that if you're going to be successful and have good relationship with the community.
- [56:44]
Mike Morgan
Do you ever go to a. I'm sure you've been there to awake or a funeral at a black church?
- [56:49]
Tyler
Yes.
- [56:50]
Mike Morgan
Holy cow.
- [56:51]
Tyler
Yes.
- [56:52]
Mike Morgan
It's like trying to revive the dead. They are. It's amazing how different it is than if you go to a white service night and day.
- [57:04]
Dominic Izzo
So, Mike, where can anyone the F2 things. Where can they get your book and then where can they find your podcast? I'm assuming it's an easy question to answer, but yeah.
- [57:14]
Mike Morgan
So the book can be found on Amazon and Barnes and Noble and then the podcast is the Resilient Warrior Nation on YouTube and then all audio only platforms. And then if anyone ever wants to hit me up on Insta the Resilient Warrior 5778 and that's it. They can find me pretty much anywhere out of those, you know, those three.
- [57:35]
Dominic Izzo
All right, thank you so much for joining us, man. We'll be right back, everybody. We're gonna take a quick commercial break and we'll be back with.
- [57:44]
Mike Morgan
Thanks for having me, guys.

Dominic Izzo
Over a century ago, in 1910, the Flexner Report, funded by John D. Rockefeller and the Carnegie foundation, re engineered medical education from a holistic whole body approach, which appropriately treated the body as an interconnected system, to a compartmentalized approach. Under the guise of specialized medicine, they shut down or consolidated medical schools marginalized naturopathic, homeopathic and chiropractic medicine, replacing them with symptom management and synthetic drugs. Allopathy is a marketing strategy rooted in fear and manipulated science. This philosophy carried into veterinary medicine, resulting in over vaccination, unnecessary surgeries and manufactured food. Just like they did for people. They call it care, but it's predatory and based in profitability. The truth, toxicity, compromised immunity and chronic inflammation.
- [58:38]
Huck Finn Barbell
They're not fate, they're engineered. And so is your power to undo them.

Huck Finn Barbell
I can't hear a word Michael is saying. Me, I can hear you perfectly.

Dominic Izzo
I think last time we did this, he's gonna have to go out and come back in.
- [61:36]
Huck Finn Barbell
Who, me?
- [61:37]
Dominic Izzo

Okay, here I go.
- [61:47]
Tyler
I'm going out later.
- [61:52]
Huck Finn Barbell
The hell do you go out of the Whole thing.
- [61:57]
Tyler
Let me try doing it. Oh, there he goes.
- [61:59]
Dominic Izzo
No, you don't need to do it. Last time this happened, Hal couldn't hear you. The shark guy. And Hal backed out and came back in. All hail. How? The king of sharks. They got kind of serious, man.
- [62:14]
Tyler
Yeah,
- [62:29]
Dominic Izzo
We need a dead josher. Realist. Shark in the hood, dude.
- [62:34]
Tyler
His comments was just so well timed. Like deep in a conversation, dude. And the green thing pops up. It was green. I couldn't ignore it because it was bright green and green. It was Kermit green. And it says, how does he do that?
- [62:48]
Dominic Izzo
How do you make it turn green like that? Josh back on.
- [62:52]
Tyler
It's amazing.
- [62:55]
Dominic Izzo
Well, I don't know where Peaches has been,
- [62:59]
Tyler
so he sent me a video the other day. He commented on something this morning, but I haven't seen it.
- [63:03]
Dominic Izzo
He posted a story wanting to have a counterculture. Well, okay, Jay just goes like this. All right, cool. You just do it like this. Want to have a counterculture bench press competition? Did you see that, Mike?
- [63:26]
Tyler
Yeah, yeah. He waits. I'm off.
- [63:32]
Dominic Izzo
All right. Hug. Can you hear.
- [63:33]
Tyler
Hear me now? We can't hear him.
- [63:41]
Dominic Izzo
Hey, Huck, if you can hear us, make sure you're. We can't hear you. Make sure your mic is on.
- [63:47]
Tyler
You might have to reselect your input and output.
- [63:52]
Dominic Izzo
No, nothing. I can almost hear you in my head because I know how you sound. But.
- [64:03]
Tyler
Hold on. He's probably have to reset his mic. Input and output like. Probably defaulted back to nothing.
- [64:12]
Dominic Izzo
Would ask. Justin helps out, but he bailed. He got a meeting.
- [64:17]
Tyler
It's probably what it is. If he came back in. He didn't select the right input and output. That happens to me sometimes.
- [64:31]
Dominic Izzo
This always happens to us when we do multiple guests.
- [64:34]
Tyler
A video today is going to cost some stink.
- [64:37]
Dominic Izzo
What video?
- [64:38]
Tyler
The one at my copy episode.
- [64:42]
Dominic Izzo
These are. How are they making it green? I don't understand. All right, let's try again.
- [64:49]
Huck Finn Barbell
Is this some on?
- [64:51]
Tyler
Yeah, audio my. Let me.
- [64:56]
Huck Finn Barbell
Let me.
- [64:59]
Tyler
No camera. Camera, though.
- [65:03]
Mike Morgan
Holy.
- [65:05]
Huck Finn Barbell
My camera's all blurry too. I don't know what the hell's going on here.
- [65:10]
Dominic Izzo
Like, we can hear. We have a massive. And it sounds like.
- [65:20]
Huck Finn Barbell
Camera.
- [65:21]
Dominic Izzo
Audio check, check, check, check.

Dominic Izzo
Yeah, we still got it.
- [65:36]
Huck Finn Barbell
No good.
- [65:38]
Dominic Izzo
Is it allowing?
- [65:40]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, it says I'm good.

Tyler
Try that. There's a setting. Setting for it. Make sure. Echo cancellation. Yeah, check, check.
- [65:56]
Dominic Izzo
Let's make sure it's. Yeah, it's coming through his. We'll read. We got.
- [66:00]
Tyler
Now. It's gone now. Oh, he's gone.
- [66:01]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, I turned it. No, I muted it. No, it's still on. Oh, no, it's not. Oh.
- [66:08]
Tyler
All right. Now you can celebrate.
- [66:10]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, yeah. We're here, baby.
- [66:12]
Huck Finn Barbell
This is the second time I've done this. I guess I forgot how to do it. I even stream on this thing all the time.
- [66:18]
Tyler
When you come in as a guest, it's different. And sometimes it defaults to back to the regular settings, which puts it through your computer and it it all up. But here we are. We're live.
- [66:27]
Huck Finn Barbell
We are live. Where's g money at, huh?
- [66:32]
Tyler
I don't know.
- [66:32]
Dominic Izzo
He got the day off. The most American man was coming on.
- [66:38]
Tyler
Yeah. Oh, that's right. That's right. You don't title and the whole. The whole contest left.
- [66:46]
Huck Finn Barbell
Can you hear that?
- [66:47]
Tyler
Yeah, we got it.
- [66:48]
Huck Finn Barbell
Hell, yeah.
- [66:49]
Dominic Izzo
So are you. You're coming off. You were like, what, sick for almost two weeks.
- [66:53]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, I was sick. I don't know how. I'm never sick. Some illness got me, you know, and put me down for a two count, but I kicked out the last minute just like Cole Kogan did over the Iron Chic. I'm good now. I mean, I could barely talk for like a week. So there's no way in hell I could come on a show and say I. I would have looked terrible.
- [67:14]
Dominic Izzo
Have you. We talked briefly about it, but we all watched the McMahon documentary. But has anybody watched the new Hogan thing on Netflix?
- [67:22]
Huck Finn Barbell
Oh, kidding me. There's a bear in the woods.
- [67:25]
Tyler
I just saw it yesterday. I just saw it yesterday. Is it good?
- [67:29]
Huck Finn Barbell
It's great. Brought a tear to my eye. I mean, Hogan's dead. They started out with Hogan in his casket, and that was pretty much Huck Finn Barbell's childhood dying right there. Gone. The immortal one. Not here.
- [67:45]
Tyler
Yeah, that was crazy.
- [67:47]
Dominic Izzo
How did they. How did he die? Like, it was a heart attack.
- [67:50]
Tyler
They're saying there was an issue with something. He was. The medication he was given at the hospital and they weren't prepared to deal with it at the house. It seemed it was. That's what I was told.
- [67:58]
Huck Finn Barbell
A lot of conflicting reports.
- [68:00]
Tyler
He's Hulk Hogan. He's supposed to live forever.
- [68:02]
Huck Finn Barbell
Exactly. Hulkamania will live forever, my friend.
- [68:05]
Tyler
Yes, yes.
- [68:06]
Dominic Izzo
Have you ever been to one of his shops? He's got at least one shop here.
- [68:10]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yes, I have been intoxicated down to the Tampa region many times. I have been there and I've been to his. Yeah, I have been to his bar and drank a lot of beer a few years back.
- [68:23]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, he Has a bar, too.
- [68:25]
Huck Finn Barbell
That Hogan's Hangout next to whatever the store, whatever he's got there.
- [68:30]
Tyler
I didn't know there's a bar there. I've been to the store.
- [68:34]
Huck Finn Barbell
I could spot bar from anywhere, man. That's my go on vacation. That's the first thing I look up, is bars.
- [68:39]
Dominic Izzo
Bars. I just saw a reel of you making a cocktail completed with. You were obviously poking fun at, you know, the industry, as you always do, hilariously. And it was Miller Light, a shot of tequila, guacamole.
- [68:58]
Tyler
Yes.
- [68:59]
Dominic Izzo
And you drank that whole thing and then chewed on the steak.
- [69:01]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yes. I've been making these kind of mocktails for years. You know, you got this guy named Malibu Matt. A guy.
- [69:10]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah.
- [69:11]
Huck Finn Barbell
Complete jerk off. You know, from what I've heard, I. I have no idea why anybody like him. At first he said his face was blown off by an IED or whatever, right?
- [69:22]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, yeah, we covered that. Yep.
- [69:24]
Huck Finn Barbell
You guys covered that. And then it turns out it wasn't. That's why his face looked weird. They said. And then you feel kind of bad for the guy, like, oh, my God, this guy's an American hero. And it turns out he was lying the whole time.
- [69:36]
Dominic Izzo
And we. We called out the veteran community for giving him such a quick pass because, you know, the whole Tim Kennedy thing happened. I think everybody was waiting for somebody to just go, hey, my bad, and say they're sorry. And this guy was given a pass within an hour on the Internet. He came out, he made his apology video, which he should have done. And then everybody was like, you're good, man. Like, there's a. There's 10,000 dead soldiers in the last 20 years that say otherwise, but okay,
- [70:04]
Huck Finn Barbell
yeah, that was this thing I've ever seen.
- [70:07]
Tyler
Yeah.
- [70:07]
Dominic Izzo
Have you ever met him?
- [70:09]
Huck Finn Barbell
No, I've never met the guy. He's got to have money behind him or something. How he blew up so fast, I would think somebody's running his accounts, you know, and then they pushed him and they. And they, you know, pretty much told him what to do and. And how to. How to succeed on social media. Just kind of like the Liver King guy, or he had his own. All this money put in like a million of do. Millions of dollars into this. And people produced everything for him. That's what made him. But once those guys left, haven't seen the. Since that steroid scandal.
- [70:45]
Mike Morgan
That.
- [70:47]
Tyler
I don't know how that guy not delivered the other guy. I don't know how. He's so not interesting. Like, there's no personality to it. How does that catch on? How does that catch on? Like, how does that happen?
- [70:57]
Huck Finn Barbell
There's a lot of LA people out there that enjoy that kind of, I guess.
- [71:02]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, that's SNL made fun of people like that in a skit. They call them the. The Californians or something. And they're. That's him.
- [71:12]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, right. Oh, speaking of la, the bad news. Oh, I will be going to la. Enemy territory. This is big time bad news for la. I'm gonna show these LA sweathogs a couple real hillbillies. I'll be landing out there next days, today, Wednesday. I'll be out there next Monday night. And I'll be doing a. A appearance, a meat and drink in South Bay, strength company, a gym out there in Los Angeles. They'll be. They're flying me out to do this event. They're gonna have a mariachi. It's funny how they reach out to me and I say, you know, I don't leave the barn much unless I'm getting paid to leave. I like staying where I live. And they're like, hey, we're like the opposite of this young LA craze and all this. So, you know, they call me on the phone, we work out some stuff, and I'm like, well, I'm also going to need a mariachi band number one. I need a food truck. We're getting a lot of booze, like, done. I'm all right, I'll be there. Cinco de Mile, May 5th, 4pm Hawk Finn taking over LA.
- [72:26]
Dominic Izzo
Are you. You ever go to these conventions and sell merch?
- [72:31]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, I've. The only conventions I really go to, the cell merch, is the Arnold in Columbus, Ohio. I've been going there for a decade. A lot of the other conventions I go to, you know, a company will have me out, you know, at their booth and whatnot.
- [72:44]
Keto 5o
Yeah.
- [72:45]
Huck Finn Barbell
You know, a 21 beer salute like that.
- [72:48]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, but we got to go to
- [72:50]
Tyler
Arnold and go to Arnold. We got to go.
- [72:53]
Huck Finn Barbell
I'm there every year.
- [72:54]
Tyler
Every year we gotta go.
- [72:57]
Dominic Izzo
Where's it at? Is it. Does it travel or is it the
- [72:59]
Tyler
same Columbus, Ohio, every year?
- [73:01]
Dominic Izzo
Yep. That's bad. I bet you that's packed. I don't. You want to feel small? Go to the Arnold. I'll feel.
- [73:06]
Tyler
Yeah, it.
- [73:07]
Huck Finn Barbell
It was packed. It was packed this year. Best year since pre Covet.
- [73:13]
Dominic Izzo
You remember when Arnold kind of went. Lived hard on us for a little bit?
- [73:16]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah.
- [73:16]
Dominic Izzo
Arnold said we had to. We had to reel him back in.
- [73:20]
Huck Finn Barbell
A lot of people still don't go to the Arnold because of that.
- [73:23]
Dominic Izzo
Really? It was a Kobe thing, right?
- [73:25]
Huck Finn Barbell
Still not go to the Arnold because of what he said then, man.
- [73:30]
Tyler
Yeah, I know he's not a fan of the president, unfortunately. So it disappoints me.
- [73:36]
Dominic Izzo
There's just so much. Dude, Arnold even. I never was a bodybuilder or even really lifted that much, But I remember when I was young, I. What'd he say? What'd you say?
- [73:47]
Huck Finn Barbell
Get your ass out of here. You're lying.
- [73:50]
Dominic Izzo
I can see.
- [73:51]
Tyler
I can see.
- [73:54]
Keto 5o
Really work out.
- [73:55]
Dominic Izzo
No, but he said that thing where he goes, there's. There's 24 hours in a day. You work eight hours a day, you sleep eight hours a day, you work out for four hours a day, and you go to school for four hours a day. And he goes, there's 24 hours in a day. And I was like, damn, dude. That's a good. All the time we waste.
- [74:14]
Huck Finn Barbell
That's so true. And then you use a couple of those hours to the edge, right? I edge before I. I train to raise my testosterone levels. It's an old trick I've learned over the years. Edge for multiple hours when I wake up or the gym. My testosterone levels are through the goddamn roof when I'm out there, you know, I'm not bad. I want to just go crazy.
- [74:34]
Tyler
We gotta get John and. And Huck in the same room, man.
- [74:39]
Dominic Izzo
You're gonna have all of our listeners, like, edging themselves before the workout. Come on, come on.
- [74:43]
Huck Finn Barbell
Listen, it works, man. Just don't go past that point of no return.
- [74:47]
Keto 5o
Yeah.
- [74:48]
Huck Finn Barbell
Worst workout ever. Once that baby bear comes out, it's over with. God damn.
- [74:55]
Tyler
That's amazing. Amazing.
- [74:57]
Huck Finn Barbell
Did you guys see the NFL drafts? I got something to say about the NFL draft.
- [75:01]
Tyler
I watched a little bit of it. We were actually on our way back
- [75:04]
Huck Finn Barbell
from South Carolina, so I'm a big football fan. You know, I spent my whole life. And I'm watching NFL draft. I think it's like day two or whatever it is, like the third round, and they're propping these guys up from international fan of the year for every team, which is complete horseshit. They got some guy telling us who the Chicago Bears picked. And with that 59th pick and the guy's from France doing the pick, like, what the. Man, why do I want to hear a guy with a French accent tell me who the goddamn Chicago Bears picked up?
- [75:43]
Tyler
Completely unamerican.
- [75:44]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah. This is an American sport. We don't. You don't see us going over to.
- [75:48]
Dominic Izzo
Not anymore, dude. NFL just like the wwe. The NFL is going international, dude. That's why Bad Bunny was the halftime show.
- [75:55]
Huck Finn Barbell
Christ. Yes, I would. I'd rather have a guy like if the Bears are picking, go grab a guy for the south side of Chicago in some bar, drinking an old style saying, sir, could you announce this pick? And he's shit face drunk. That's who I want telling me who the goddamn Bears are picking.
- [76:11]
Tyler
Yes. We lost it.
- [76:13]
Huck Finn Barbell
It's all money, man. It's all the NFL wants. An international market so bad for two years.
- [76:20]
Tyler
And I don't need it though. What the. How much money do they need? What's Goodell make? 25, $30 million a year. The NFL does not need any more money.
- [76:30]
Huck Finn Barbell
No, no. But they're greedy as. They're going to ruin the goddamn sport.
- [76:33]
Tyler
I agree. There'll be a team somewhere far away and your team's gonna have to suck it up, fly 12 hours, fly back, be exhausted. And it's going to change the whole dynamic because every team that has to go out of the country and play that is gonna be ridiculous too.
- [76:50]
Huck Finn Barbell
International games out in Europe somewhere. Who gives a suck my flesh flute?
- [76:56]
Tyler
Let them. Let them have their soccer, man. Where the guy gets breathed. Breathed on and he flies on the ground and lays there for 12 minutes.
- [77:04]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, have soccer. We'll take the real football over here.
- [77:07]
Tyler
Yes.
- [77:10]
Dominic Izzo
Huck. Let's edge together. Bring back Kermit and the Hogs. That's too I. First off, you must have an impact on people because I never see Jaws Jew ass ever put a super chat out. He put a super chat out.
- [77:21]
Tyler
Yeah.
- [77:22]
Huck Finn Barbell
Let's edge together. I don't know about that, brother. I don't know if I'm gonna be edging with other dudes.
- [77:26]
Tyler
You gotta go in the other stall, right? You least got a separate stalls, right? Jesus.
- [77:31]
Huck Finn Barbell
What kind of party is this?
- [77:35]
Dominic Izzo
Dude, I saw something the other day.
- [77:38]
Tyler
There's a shirt is edging together gay right there. Write it down.
- [77:43]
Huck Finn Barbell
Is hedging together gay. Very gay. Says on the back, very gay.
- [77:51]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, you. Have you seen the. The stuff about the TKO merger with the WWE and the ufc?
- [77:57]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yes.
- [77:58]
Dominic Izzo
How I watched a video on how TKO is literally taking the. The fan model of the usc and because the wwe, the outcome is pre done. It's actually way better for marketing and for money making. So they're just. They're not going to mess with UFC at all. But they're going to take. And that's why all now the seats are going to go through the roof as far as you Know, getting to, getting to go watch the show. It's not going to be oriented to families and the average blue collar guy that wants to on Monday night.
- [78:29]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, I want to get into WrestleMania because I watch WrestleMania every year. I don't watch wrestling as much obviously as I did when I was younger, but I always Never miss a WrestleMania. It's an event that I do not miss. So I tune into WrestleMania this year and it's the shits. It's one of the worst thing, the worst WrestleMania I've ever seen. They, they, everything sucks. All the all look the goddamn same. They all look their Samoa with long hair. There is no creativity. They all are. There's no like, nobody looks like Andre the Giant, Hulk, Kogan, Steve, all like those type of guys.
- [79:04]
Tyler
They're all.
- [79:04]
Huck Finn Barbell
And then their champion is this guy CM Punk who looks like he works at a goddamn Casey's gas station. He couldn't fight his way down on a paper bag. I mean, how do you got that guy as your top guy, that Triple h, he sucks. WWE, they suck now. TKO ruined it. Vince McMahon was the king. He made it. And ever since he left, it's been absolute. Oh, if he buys. That's the only way that's ever going to survive is he buys it back probably with help from the Saudis.
- [79:35]
Dominic Izzo
That, that's what that, that documentary said is that they're like it once. Vince, at the time when they made the Mr. McMahon documentary, he hadn't stepped away fully. And they said once Vince leaves the, it's. It's gone. It could take decades to crumble, but it's done.
- [79:51]
Huck Finn Barbell
It is, it's the worst thing I've ever seen. It's these fancy ass entrances after entrances. That's the whole show. It's like a goddamn Las Vegas show. You see at a hotel or whatever, all these fancy pyros and these, this music, all this stupid. You might as well go the other way and not do anything to be different. Why do you want to be like everybody else? Yeah, all these ads everywhere. It's just a terrible show. Wrestling is over as we know it.
- [80:17]
Dominic Izzo
I don't think they could ever get. I don't think they could ever get away with an ECW again. Because I was thinking like, what if they create. Well, I mean with insurance and stuff
- [80:31]
Huck Finn Barbell
like that might be right.
- [80:35]
Tyler
The controversy is gone. You can't be controversial anymore. And that, that's what Vince Capital realized on was like, I can't believe he's doing that. But I can't look away like it's so bad that it's good. You're like, I would never say that or do that, but I definitely want to see somebody say it or do it. That's what created that. Those storyline, dude, them storylines were insane. They had 75 year old May Young getting power bombed through tables on TV and love affairs with a, you know, an 80 year old woman and a 20 year old black guy having a love affair. Like just the, you can't even make up in your head and you're like this. I can't stop watching this.
- [81:07]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, it's, that's, that's what needs to come back. Yeah. Wrestling is about as boring as watching paint dry. The whole thing, everything needs to be scrapped. I know this guy, Eric Boogenhausen, the Boobs, he used to be a pro wrestler. I think he's on, he's on something now. I, I was talking to him at the Arnold this year and he told me once Vince left the company, he was done. Triple H didn't want him there. You know, his look or his style. When Boogs has a, a perfect style, he's huge. He's a crazy, he's nuts. He was way different than everybody else. But nope, once this jerk off Triple H takes over, it goes, you know, back to these like indie guys or some, you know.
- [81:53]
Tyler
Yeah, it's unfortunate. They took the fun out of it and they took the controversy out of it and it's very. They got murdered at the end of, at the end of Wrestlemania. They were chanting TKO sucks or tko and it was like all over the broadcast. They couldn't get away from it. And it's, it's, you know, people couldn't wait for the next episode, the next day. And it was crazy.
- [82:16]
Huck Finn Barbell
And that would have been perfect if they brought that storyline on where TQO does suck and Triple H does suck and who's gonna save wrestling? And all of a sudden they march Vince out at WrestleMania and now he's going to take over and have this whole, whole separate faction of real wrestlers again to take over the company.
- [82:35]
Tyler
Yeah.
- [82:36]
Huck Finn Barbell
Now that would have been genius.
- [82:38]
Tyler
Yep.
- [82:40]
Dominic Izzo
I think they should just create an entire, even let WWE own it. So first off, when WWE bought wcw, his ego got in the way and destroyed wrestling. Because what he should have said is, I own you. Continue. Continue to be WWE's or WWF's opposition. Because I don't think anybody really thought once you take away the opposition, there's no more reason to get better. And that's when it tanked. And I feel like even if the WWE silently, which I don't know if they could do in 2026, because everybody tracks everything but create a small, like, old school attitude era ECW style promotion that had the ability to travel. Like, had the finances back to travel. Had the finances back to be on tv. But it looked edgy. Not for your, you know, living room TV style. That's something everybody would watch.
- [83:34]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah. 100. They need to change it fast. And who the hell's Peach?
- [83:41]
Tyler
He's one of our guys that comes on every now and then, and he gets.
- [83:44]
Dominic Izzo
He sounds like Kermit the Frog.
- [83:45]
Tyler
And everybody sounds like Kermit the Frog. It sounds like, yeah, so. And he doesn't take it very well. So it's funny. So, yeah, stop calling me. He's a good dude, but he does not like to be.
- [83:59]
Dominic Izzo
That was. That's what he was saying. He was staring at the tv, getting all pissed off. I'm like, what's wrong, dude? He's, like, calling me Kermit. We're gonna. That's gonna make it worse, dude. They're gonna keep digging.
- [84:10]
Huck Finn Barbell
Of course it is, man. You just go with it. You are Kermit the Frog now.
- [84:14]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, that you are. That's it, man.
- [84:16]
Tyler
Yeah. A lot of guys. That's WWE style. You go with it, you become a new character.
- [84:20]
Huck Finn Barbell
Right.
- [84:20]
Tyler
Embrace it.
- [84:21]
Huck Finn Barbell
Until I made my buddy jacked in homeless. The world's strongest homeless man. People kept saying, who's that homeless guy on your live feed? And he would want to fight everybody. He'd want to kill these guys. Like, no, no. Go with it. You're the world's strongest homeless man. That's a great character. And it worked. They get drunk and start crying about. Everybody thinks I'm homeless and I'm not homeless.
- [84:41]
Tyler
Who gives a. Yeah, Surprise. Look at my house.
- [84:45]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, surprise. They live in a van down by the river.
- [84:48]
Tyler
Like, G Money.
- [84:50]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, G Money. He's probably out there selling candy to somebody right now.
- [84:55]
Dominic Izzo
Selling his plasma.
- [84:59]
Tyler
Oh, man.
- [85:00]
Huck Finn Barbell
He's out selling plasma, man. That guy is. He better get a different job, I guess, man. Be selling plasma. That's not good. And these. You see these new energy drinks. All these new energy drink. I was going to get a. At a gas station the other day, and I'm going to get an energy drink. And every energy drink is designed for women. It's like these words. Ever heard of a Lonnie Blue? All this weird ass. Like, where's the energy drinks for men at? I guess it's beer. I don't know.
- [85:39]
Dominic Izzo
They're just sports in your hand hug. Yeah. Couldn't find any energy drinks for men.
- [85:45]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, I gotta get a case of beer, I guess. Man.
- [85:48]
Dominic Izzo
Somebody brought up Huck versus Ryan Miller. One of our contributors on Thursdays is a. Is a. He's a communist, but he's a former marine.
- [85:58]
Huck Finn Barbell
How the hell is he a communist then?
- [86:00]
Dominic Izzo
No, that's the conundrum. He's the marine communist. And he. He comes on here. He's a good sport. I would say. If you didn't know any better, you'd be like, this is the best bit ever. This guy's the best. But he actually. But he comes on it, dude. The chats just annihilating him. And he holds his ground and he.
- [86:18]
Mike Morgan
He won't.
- [86:18]
Dominic Izzo
Me and Michael ask him like, basic questions and, you know, he just won't answer them. And we're like, ah, we got you there. We got you there.
- [86:26]
Huck Finn Barbell
Was. Was he part of that don't ask, don't tell era?
- [86:29]
Dominic Izzo
I don't know.
- [86:31]
Tyler
He might have been probably early 2000s.
- [86:34]
Dominic Izzo
He didn't. He didn't deploy, so. But I. I think he got out right after 9, 11.
- [86:39]
Huck Finn Barbell
Oh.
- [86:40]
Dominic Izzo
I mean, he's got full on braids. He lives in San Francisco. He calls you comrade and brother wants to read your energy.
- [86:49]
Huck Finn Barbell
Read your ass. Get the out of here. Read this, you son of a. Oh, that would be.
- [86:55]
Tyler
This would be an epic exchange here. Oh, boy. Yeah.
- [87:04]
Dominic Izzo
U. S. Marine vet. I don't know how he. We were talking about that the other day. He must have been on Instagram for like 20 years because he got u. S. UMC vet.
- [87:12]
Mike Morgan
Yeah.
- [87:13]
Huck Finn Barbell
One of the first guys ever on Instagram.
- [87:16]
Dominic Izzo
So.
- [87:16]
Huck Finn Barbell
But I mean, it's a good time if he's listening. Show up to my meet and greet. It's in la. I'll be there. Four o', clock, Cinco de Mayo.
- [87:27]
Tyler
There's no way.
- [87:29]
Dominic Izzo
One less table there by the end of the night.
- [87:33]
Huck Finn Barbell
Pile driver eats pink crayons. And he's probably a vegan. What the hell?
- [87:43]
Tyler
He talks about his partner and it's. It's pretty wild. He hasn't answered it. He's been on our show for, like, getting about there four or five months now. He hasn't answered a question to date. The answer is all of you white people cause all these problems in the nation, and that's why we're where we are. That's. That's pretty much this.
- [88:02]
Dominic Izzo
He doesn't believe kicking ass.
- [88:04]
Huck Finn Barbell
So I'm happy where I'm at.
- [88:08]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah. One time I'M out here drinking a
- [88:09]
Huck Finn Barbell
beer on a Wednesday in a goddamn.
- [88:13]
Dominic Izzo
According to him, nothing you say has any merit because you're on stolen land. So, like, you could bring up the best point ever. And then he's just going to counter it with, you don't even need to be here anyways around Storm.
- [88:24]
Huck Finn Barbell
Well, we. Everybody takes everybody's land. I mean, Jesus Christ, didn't the Vikings take a bunch of land? All this land's stolen. Yeah, I stole this land from the guy who owned it before me, Some lawyer.
- [88:40]
Dominic Izzo
All right, so when you leaving for la? Monday.
- [88:43]
Huck Finn Barbell
I leave Monday, late afternoon. And here's a little inside tip for your followers that I've been using this tip for many years, probably for at least a decade. When I travel and I go on the plane, I always bring a card with me that's expired, okay? And I order a few beers, give the lady my card, swipes it, no questions asked. Boom, here's the beer. Every time it's free. I don't know how it works, but it's always worked. Some old drunk guy taught me this years ago. It's like, yeah, use an expired card. I mean, if they. They say anything, you say, my fault, man. I. I thought it was the right card. It's never not worked.
- [89:25]
Tyler
So they're bringing it up after the fact, and by then it's too late.
- [89:28]
Huck Finn Barbell
Oh, yeah. So I've had probably thousands of beers cop for free.
- [89:33]
Dominic Izzo
Stop that, man.
- [89:34]
Tyler
That's a lot like organizing the airport
- [89:36]
Dominic Izzo
with your billy bag.
- [89:38]
Tyler
Some type of international crime in there for sure, because it has to do with being in the air and credit cards.
- [89:42]
Huck Finn Barbell
My friend does that
- [89:46]
Mike Morgan
one.
- [89:46]
Huck Finn Barbell
That does that because he's homeless, my friend.
- [89:49]
Dominic Izzo
Chuck Finn.
- [89:51]
Huck Finn Barbell
There was a guy we called Chuck Finn at the Arnold. He was homeless too.
- [89:56]
Dominic Izzo
All right, so you guys got two tips. You guys got the edging tip, and you guys got the free beer on an airplane tip.
- [90:02]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yes.
- [90:03]
Tyler
We didn't give you anything today.
- [90:04]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, that's very educational today.
- [90:08]
Tyler
Excellent.
- [90:08]
Dominic Izzo
All right, look, well, you will probably occupied be occupied next week, so. But I'll. I'll hit you up. Maybe. Maybe. When are you coming back?
- [90:19]
Huck Finn Barbell
I will be back Thursday night sometime late.
- [90:22]
Dominic Izzo
Okay, so maybe next Wednesday.
- [90:24]
Huck Finn Barbell
Maybe I come on for five minutes. What is this, Wednesday?
- [90:27]
Tyler
Oh, yeah.
- [90:28]
Dominic Izzo
Did you come on and be like,
- [90:29]
Huck Finn Barbell
yo, la, doing something stupid?
- [90:32]
Tyler
Yeah, that'd be great.
- [90:34]
Huck Finn Barbell
I'll probably be recovering from a terrible hangover and bang over out in Los Angeles.
- [90:41]
Tyler
Perfect.
- [90:42]
Keto 5o
Yeah.
- [90:42]
Dominic Izzo
I can't believe you're meant to design shirts, man. That was why God put you on this earth is just to create T shirt designs.
- [90:49]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah. Mrs. Barbell, my wife, she's in there making church right now in the shop next to me. I'm out here just drinking beer in the barn and saying, hey, listen, I got a lot of work to do today. Do not bother me. I'm very busy drinking over tomorrow. I definitely want to bang over tomorrow.
- [91:06]
Dominic Izzo
Do you have a fridge full of energy drinks? That's. I just need to know that.
- [91:10]
Huck Finn Barbell
Beer.
- [91:12]
Dominic Izzo
Yes.
- [91:14]
Huck Finn Barbell
One, two. I have three extra fridges on this compound of different buildings that are full of beer. Every fr. Every three buildings on this property has beer in every fridge.
- [91:27]
Dominic Izzo
Whoa.
- [91:28]
Mike Morgan
And
- [91:31]
Huck Finn Barbell
there's a story behind, like, real energy drinks. I got in a big fight with the Rain Energy. That's a long story, though.
- [91:38]
Dominic Izzo
We'll save it for next time.
- [91:40]
Huck Finn Barbell
That's a very, very, very good but long story, because I used to be sponsored by Monster Energy a long time ago when I ran through a vending machine. You ever see that video where I ran to that Red Bull machine?
- [91:49]
Dominic Izzo
I don't think so.
- [91:50]
Huck Finn Barbell
They played it on ridiculousness a bunch of times. So I. I lined up, like, 20 yards from a vending machine, and I ran right through it, shattered it, flipped over. All the sparks went flying, and I swallowed a bunch of the dust. You never saw that video?
- [92:05]
Tyler
No.
- [92:05]
Huck Finn Barbell
Oh, God. That's an epic video.
- [92:07]
Keto 5o
It's.
- [92:08]
Tyler
We'll play. We'll play. We'll find it. We'll play it.
- [92:10]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, it's Hawk running through a Red Bull machine. And I ended up meeting the guy who was a head of marketing for Monster at the LA Fit Expo that year. And that's how I got in with them for. For quite a few years until he left. And then they kind of went weird.
- [92:28]
Dominic Izzo
Is Rain owned by Monster?
- [92:30]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yes.
- [92:31]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, damn. They're. They got two energy drinks out there.
- [92:34]
Huck Finn Barbell
Yeah, they. They would always go to my house with the Monster. Girls would show up in my house. So I live, like, an hour and 40 minutes from Chicago, like, way out the country, right? And these girls would drive all the way from Chicago in. In a monster truck, right? And they would deliver me, like, 30 cases of monster like, once a month. And they'd be like, who are you?
- [92:55]
Mike Morgan
I like.
- [92:56]
Huck Finn Barbell
We drove out in the middle, and you got to be somebody famous. I'm like, I'm kind of a big deal. Girls, right this way. Drop it off over here in the garage, please. A few years, they started. They started spending the goddamn semi. Truck drivers was never the same.
- [93:11]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, old Bob, he. Bob will end up wanting to edge with you.
- [93:16]
Huck Finn Barbell
Come on, Bob. I'm in a California gal myself. Jaha, is that that same guy?
- [93:22]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah. He wants to edge with you.
- [93:24]
Huck Finn Barbell
You said he's a Gale, though?
- [93:26]
Dominic Izzo
No, he's not a.
- [93:27]
Huck Finn Barbell
He'll kind of show you guys running here.
- [93:30]
Tyler
It's bad. All right, all right, we'll.
- [93:33]
Dominic Izzo
We'll hit you up on Wednesday, see if you can't pop in for five minutes if you're not too busy.
- [93:37]
Huck Finn Barbell
All right, boys. Until next time. Cheers.
- [93:40]
Tyler
Thank you, sir.
- [93:41]
Dominic Izzo
Cheers, man. Later.
- [93:43]
Huck Finn Barbell
Okay, bye.
- [93:46]
Tyler
When you bring him? I gotta take a quick break, so bring him in.
- [93:49]
Dominic Izzo
I'll be right back.
- [93:50]
Tyler
Yep.
- [93:51]
Dominic Izzo
All right. I'll just hang out here and read chats by myself. I'm like Garth and Wayne's World. Oh, Eric's in. Okay, cool. You guys know Keto five zero?
- [94:08]
Tyler
There he is.
- [94:09]
Keto 5o
Yo. Hey.
- [94:10]
Dominic Izzo
Hey.
- [94:10]
Keto 5o
What's up, man?
- [94:12]
Dominic Izzo
What's up, bud?
- [94:14]
Keto 5o
Nothing, man. I was just looking at my mom's stuff up here. She's got English Bobby. Night sticks.
- [94:20]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, was your mama Bobby?
- [94:22]
Keto 5o
No, my mom was actually a homicide sergeant. Miami.
- [94:26]
Dominic Izzo
Oh.
- [94:26]
Keto 5o
And this is her wall of, like, love me wall, you know? So I was just looking around. She got some cool stuff.
- [94:34]
Dominic Izzo
Are you at your mom's right now?
- [94:36]
Keto 5o
Yeah, we came over for the weekend. I'll show this off. This is my mom's career. And look at that. Miami day. She got on at 75.
- [94:48]
Dominic Izzo
Wow. She got robbed right when policing started going kind of. Well.
- [94:55]
Keto 5o
You can see her story if you watch the Griselda doc. Netflix series with Sofia Vergara. That's my mom, the star detective that takes her down.
- [95:02]
Dominic Izzo
Freaking wild, really. What's it about?
- [95:04]
Keto 5o
Yeah, that June Hawk. Oh, you know, so. I'm sorry. Sofia Vergara plays Griselda Blanco, who was the black widow, like, cocaine dealer before Pablo Escobar, late 70s. She had five husbands that all, you know, unfortunately ended up, you know, six feet under somehow in luggage, on the highway. All kinds of crazy, you know?
- [95:24]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, yeah.
- [95:25]
Keto 5o
So she was all doing all this crazy cartel stuff when I was, like, 5 to 12. It was pretty wild.
- [95:32]
Tyler
Wow.
- [95:32]
Keto 5o
But she's Cuban, so she was able to go undercover and, you know, play a little, like she's a, you know, bar fly and get some information. It's pretty. Pretty crazy.
- [95:43]
Dominic Izzo
So were you. Were you. You were a cop, right?
- [95:47]
Keto 5o
Yeah, I was a cop in Boynton beach down there in West Palm area.
- [95:51]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, Boynton.
- [95:53]
Keto 5o
Yeah, Boynton. Shout out.
- [95:55]
Dominic Izzo
What years?
- [95:57]
Keto 5o
2001 to 2019. I started off with all those CSO positions where I did traffic.
- [96:04]
Dominic Izzo
Beep beep.
- [96:04]
Keto 5o
I'll do the crash report.
- [96:06]
Dominic Izzo
I've heard some wild about Boynton beach, like the Last of the Mohicans when it came to some cop work. Like lots of indictments and stuff like that.
- [96:16]
Keto 5o
Well, 2016 we had four indicted because they beat the out some knucklehead that ran over one of our cops doing stop sticks and the eagle caught him. So the Obama justice department indicted him and the payoff was they got fired, were acquitted, but the bad guy got like 800 grand in the civil suit.
- [96:36]
Dominic Izzo
Whoa. One of my. One of my friends from where?
- [96:39]
Mike Morgan
I.
- [96:40]
Dominic Izzo
Man, never mind, brother.
- [96:43]
Tyler
Sorry about that.
- [96:44]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, man, I haven't peed since before my run this morning. I don't think. Dude, I started running and then Mike copied.
- [96:52]
Tyler
That's not good. You're supposed to.
- [96:54]
Keto 5o
I don't run anymore.
- [96:56]
Dominic Izzo
You don't run anymore?
- [96:57]
Keto 5o
I play hoops and like active sports. Chase my kids around, you know, like trying to do that poor core playing tag. Try not to get a concussion.
- [97:05]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, nothing will smoke you faster than trying to play sports with your kids. Dude, I'm like, I lost a race
- [97:11]
Keto 5o
to my 14 year old dude. It happened, you know, but he's. He's leaning me and he's a little carnivore kid. He's freaking could do like 20 pull ups. He's just a little monster, man. So I expected it. It wasn't no secret it. But damn already. Yeah.
- [97:25]
Dominic Izzo
So what's keto 5o about? What's it do? What's it.
- [97:29]
Keto 5o
The whole history was back in 2018, I was diagnosed with heart disease. I was about 250 pounds. You know, since I got shot in 2012, I went down that PTS route, drinking my ass off and gambling and.
- [97:41]
Dominic Izzo
You got shot?
- [97:42]
Keto 5o
Yeah, I got shot through the foot in my right, through my. I got a graze off my right leg.
- [97:47]
Dominic Izzo
It wasn't your own gun?
- [97:50]
Keto 5o
No, that's what the doctor said. I'm sitting there in a hospital room and they're like, you shoot yourself? No, no. It was a bank robbery in Delray and I caught the car cutting through Boynton and we got a little car chase and he crashed and I jump out like we all do. And he opened his door and just. So I got hit in the foot on my leg. But we did. I didn't even know it. We returned fire, we killed him. And then, you know, over time, you know, kind of creeping in and kept pulling my gun out more and more. I'm Like, I'm gonna whack. I'm definitely gonna shoot somebody, somebody. And there was no doubt. And then I didn't know where to go. The typical who do you talk to? You know? And then I bought battle workers comp. It made me cry in front of a room of lawyers to prove that I needed the therapy. I'm like, dude, you got my file. I got shot and killed a guy. Come on.
- [98:31]
Tyler
So bad.
- [98:31]
Keto 5o
So it's that whole we've all gone through, but anyways, I won. A lot of other guys started seeing guys, you know, started seeing the same therapist because you can't talk about it, but we kind of did and started helping guys, you know. But then I was fat, sick. You know, heart disease. They say you're going to die. They're trying to get me on all these medications. And my wife's kind of a naturopathic doctor, so we really took a deep dive into the pharma and medical situation. And I started just. I found ketogenic from a guy I played hoops with. Keto is pretty much just meat and vegetables. You know, you cut the carbs back and you find a happy level that makes you happy until you eventually wean off to some point to burn the weight that you already have on your body, and then you can reintroduce the carbs along the way, you know? So I started doing that, And I lost 50 pounds, dude, in like, two months. And they started calling me Keto 5o at the police department because they're like, how? What's going on? You got cancer, you sick, you know, the whole thing. And I started telling that I go, knock that Dr. Pepper out, dude. At least go with the diet Dr. Pepper. And then eventually we get you to sparkling water, right? Just little things. And One dude lost 50 pounds, so they kept calling me keto five zero. And I started helping dispatch because, you know, those girls need some help. And then records and, you know, obviously our command staff. I'm not dissing on them. It's a job where you should do. I mean, I say that in fun, but I actually dispatched in Sunny Isles for about six months. So I. I make fun of them because I'm allowed to, so. Oh, is Tyler gone?
- [99:58]
Dominic Izzo
What'd you do? What are you doing, Mike?
- [100:00]
Tyler
I didn't do anything. I was typing.
- [100:02]
Keto 5o
So, yeah, that was pretty much, you know, I started helping guys at work, and then other departments started catching on, and I started a little Facebook group just to help people. And my wife's decided to say, hey, let's Sell our house and drive around the country in an RV like you're crazy. They're watching tiny house shows and all that crap. And in 2019, I looked at the numbers and I was trying to get out, and I found out I could retire after my 50th birthday. Birthday as long as I had over 15 years in. It was, you know, I knew I qualified and the numbers weren't changing since I got shot. I hid in evidence for six years. There was an evidence spot that opened up. I slid in there and just wrote it out. I learned about DNA, all those trials our cops were in trouble for. I was inside understanding, knowing what was going on. So it was actually a pretty cool step to be on that side of things. But once 2019 came, I knew I could retire my 50th birthday. And we said, yeah, let's go. And we sold our house, put an order on in an rv, and then the Plan Demic showed up. And then we're kind of stuck like everyone else. And now I'm running. What am I running from? It used to be bad guys. Now I'm running from China, right? And it's just we traveled and we stayed in the south because they were normal and we were able to just, you know, we were homeschooling already. I pulled my kid out of first grade in 2018. Like everything kind of happened, you know, along the way from me getting workers comp and then, you know, losing the way and get my kids out of school, not knowing that was going to be happening in 2019. So, yeah, we started traveling, going to RV parks across the country.
- [101:31]
Dominic Izzo
You like it?
- [101:32]
Keto 5o
We love it. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. You're driving this your whole world behind you. You know, I got my guns in the back. I got my gummies from Florida, actually. Don't follow me. And we would, you know, you're in there with the semi trucks and trying to back it in and I wasn't a semi truck guy, you know, I don't have no CDL or nothing like that. I drove a traffic little freaking speed thing. That's all I ever.
- [101:55]
Dominic Izzo
Backing up trailers is hard, isn't it?
- [101:56]
Tyler
Oh, I'm good now. Yeah, it's hard. Let's get Liz up there. Liz says. Liz says Keto five zero. I need help. I think. Where do we. Where would she find you if she wanted to get involved?
- [102:08]
Keto 5o
Best way is hit me up on Instagram or Facebook or even Tick Tock and I'll help you out. I know the right people too. I Got a bunch of first responders. And we don't charge you guys, man. We don't. It's none of that, you know, I'm not in it to make a buck. I. I lost 80 pounds overall doing the ketogenic and carnivore. My heart disease stopped. No more progression. You know, there's some other blood tests and stuff that show some issues, but overall, I've had every heart test you can imagine, and I'm freaking going against the grain of what they say I should do at 56.
- [102:36]
Dominic Izzo
Wait, so you do keto and carnivore or. Or do you flip flop?
- [102:38]
Keto 5o
It's carnivore now. It's pretty much 90 animal based. And that's dairy, of course, and that's, you know, eggs. And I'll throw in some avocado. My wife makes homemade sourdough bread. Three ingredients. I'll crush that. I'm not gonna lie. I'll put some ghee butter and some salt on top of it and make my own garlic freaking toast. But hey, you know, out of 175 pounds, my body can handle it. I'm not 225 trying to manage my weight, so. Well, we'll talk about that while I'm in studio. Tyler,
- [103:10]
Tyler
you're coming in July, right? July.
- [103:12]
Keto 5o
I'll be late. Late June. Like July 3rd. I gotta be in Clearwater for. Polk County's got some thing going on. And I got Dr. Boss coming to talk about PTSD.
- [103:22]
Dominic Izzo
Yo, yo. I don't know if there's RV parks, but we live in a plaza. Dude, they RVs park here all the time at night in the plaza. Yeah, we have. We're. We're in a.
- [103:31]
Tyler
What's the view?
- [103:32]
Keto 5o
What's the view?
- [103:33]
Tyler
Road, A rehab, a road, a pizza place, some short, heavy dude that jumps in and out of a pickup truck.
- [103:43]
Keto 5o
That's awesome. Me. Well, I'll be driving, though. I won't be bringing the rig for that.
- [103:48]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, okay, Okay.
- [103:52]
Keto 5o
I was gonna say the cops and campers story in 2021. I was in New York, and they were trying to kick us out of the campground for the thin blue line flag. Remember all that? So I ended up getting suspended from Thousand Trails or a camping club for two months. And I had to leave the campground. It was crazy. So all these campgrounds in upstate New York invited us, covered our costs, got us golf carts to go drive around like VIPs. Local cops would show up. They were giving me challenge coins. That's why I created one of mine, which I'll be giving you guys. There it is.
- [104:23]
Dominic Izzo
Oh.
- [104:24]
Keto 5o
So I ended up making these challenge coins. I started meeting up with cops, and I was like, you know what? This, you know, 20, 21, they hated cops flipping police cars. I'm like, we need to go to our own safe space. Let's go to pro first responder and veteran campgrounds. And I started networking that way. And we started having some rallies. We've had about eight, four in Ithaca, New York. We did a documentary on YouTube. You guys ever check it out? It's just self funded. Like some other cop was a film guy, really pretty good guy. But yeah, it was about the whole story of all the BS and how they're looking at that flag as this racist issue. And for me, you know, my mom doing 30 years as a cop, my dad was a cop in the air force. My stepdad, you know, is Al Siegelston. If you guys ever seen Cocaine cowboys, he's a star detective in that. So I mean, I was. I'm the third best cop at my own freaking dinner table, like all the time. You know, they just crushed me. So anyways, you know, that's how I kind of got started with the whole cops and campers and doing these rallies to get us out there and start helping guys with trauma, you know, talking about it, campfires, you know, it's very therapeutic. You know, sometimes our guest speakers come out and they'll just leave conversation.
- [105:27]
Dominic Izzo
You have to have a camper to come out.
- [105:29]
Keto 5o
You know, we rent them, we have them donated. We have cabins that you can rent. You can tent camp too. So we got one coming in October. I know our times running out. I throw it out there. It's October 3rd to Saturday. And Harley, Alabama, it's near Huntsville, Alabama. And we're gonna fill up the campground. We try to have some live music. I try to get, of course, steaks and all the good food, but there'll be some bad food trucks in there. I can't keep it all the way. And you can drink in my event, you know, even though I'm sober almost a thousand days. Not court ordered, you know, kind of wife ordered a little bit. You know, there was a nudge and, you know, there's a long story with my son getting lyme disease. And we had to go through that in 20, you know, so I had to be available. You know, I couldn't be up camping all the time. And it's hard not to get drunk camping.
- [106:11]
Tyler
You know, every
- [106:14]
Keto 5o
release, it's their release party too. They're coming off of the Grind. They get out there, and it's like they just drink all day long. So, yeah, it was easy to get messed up. So, Yeah, I mean, that's a lot in there. You know about the brother in Orlando I found? That's a cop through DNA.
- [106:30]
Tyler
No.
- [106:31]
Keto 5o
Do you remember in 2019, two cop brothers discovered each other on DNA? One cop was Orlando County. He's a. He's a retired Orange county sheriff. I was in Boyd, and I get this little email. Hey, man, 23.andMe says we're related. I'm like, what? And sure enough, my dad knocked up some girl.
- [106:50]
Dominic Izzo
I did hear about that. That was you?
- [106:53]
Keto 5o
Yeah. I was bald and heavy then. But we did this press conference, you know, it was freaking insane, dude. We were on Fox and Friends. Had to wear a class A's. I didn't know what.
- [107:01]
Dominic Izzo
Remember that now? Yeah.
- [107:04]
Keto 5o
So that was. He was into camping. So after I met him, push for my wife to camp was like, all right, dude, let's go camping. And I couldn't say no to her. She's like, see? You know? So I was like, all right. And then six years in six years, we've been driving around this freaking rv.
- [107:18]
Dominic Izzo
Dude, is it. Is it. Is the camping is those retreats that you do, are they family friendly?
- [107:23]
Keto 5o
Yeah.
- [107:24]
Mike Morgan
Okay.
- [107:24]
Keto 5o
That's all I do is I bounce houses. We had Natural Guard up in New York come out with a bounce house houses and had that or all the kids marching in order to set it up. What I try to do is Friday nights of chill everyone. You know when you get there? Thursday I got fishing. So you want to come out Thursday and fish or paddle board up on the lake? I mean, I got a bunch of stuff set up, and I was getting killed in New York. Not enough Florida people could get up there, you know, because I'm a Florida guy. Yeah. They're like, why you in New York? I'm like, dude, it's a long story. So I go back to the same campground up there. That was the first one ever invited me. So I go, dude, we're gonna do an event here every year. So that's how it started. And the band that plays a bunch of retired cops. So we're gonna do the same thing here in the south and kind of make it a mecca for, like.
- [108:03]
Dominic Izzo
Are you. Are you gonna do one of Florida?
- [108:07]
Keto 5o
I am in the works, but, man, Florida's booked all the time except for the summer and, you know, what's going on. The summer? Yeah, you know, that's not good for RV planning.
- [108:17]
Dominic Izzo
No, yeah, but you could do it
- [108:20]
Keto 5o
early June or maybe later in October, November, maybe. I could do a winter event if I locked it in right down in Orlando.
- [108:27]
Dominic Izzo
Also camping in Florida in the summertime. That's brutal. That is brutal.
- [108:33]
Keto 5o
Unless you're like, St. Augustine or something. You get that ocean breeze kicking in. Yeah, you can, but. Yeah, it's just hot. You know how that is, wearing that stupid polyester uniform like we used to wear, you know, that is. You know, my metals and my plastics in my body on my blood test were insane. But wearing that stupid crap, all those really. I had mold growing on my vest. I don't know if other guys had it. Kept spraying it all the time, leaving out in the sun all those stupid tricks. Meanwhile. Meanwhile, it was a petri dish. I used to have all these welts removed, you know, because I wasn't getting enough vitamin D. And, you know, I would say, guys, I mean, overall, it's. I love the job, but getting out when I did. And I'm not trying to encourage my kids to get into it because.
- [109:14]
Dominic Izzo
Because it's.
- [109:14]
Keto 5o
I don't know what to do. I have a lot of people ask me what. And all I'm doing is training them to be good cops, you know, by accident, you know?
- [109:21]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah.
- [109:22]
Keto 5o
Muscle discipline. When we're playing nerf battles or, you know, we go hunting and stuff or locally with some of the local guys. I don't know anything about that life, so, you know, I'm just changing their direction rather than that South Florida kid, you know?
- [109:36]
Dominic Izzo
Sorry.
- [109:36]
Keto 5o
I've been talking the whole time. I'm sorry.
- [109:38]
Tyler
That's what you're here for.
- [109:39]
Dominic Izzo
That's what you're here for, man.
- [109:40]
Keto 5o
But you guys have such an interesting, crazy story. And, Mike, dude, I'm still catching up with everything you've been involved in. Dude.
- [109:46]
Tyler
It's like, the only guy that doesn't. The only guy we bring on that's not allowed to talk is G Money. Everybody else gets to talk.
- [109:53]
Keto 5o
Oh, man. And that's.
- [109:57]
Dominic Izzo
You brought me on and tell my story, then you cut me off.
- [110:00]
Tyler
Yeah.
- [110:00]
Keto 5o
I can tell you the. There's people in Boydton beach right now going, oh, Eric was on cop bill and freaking, you know, anti hero. And he's like, oh, no, because. No, because there is some there, man.
- [110:12]
Dominic Izzo
These.
- [110:12]
Keto 5o
All those years, I had to freaking sit back and just let things happen, you know? And now I'm like, you know, I'm not gonna call anybody out, but hearing you guys do it sometimes, I'm like, yeah, they need to have A voice. We had PBSO talk. That's what it was. It was a anonymous site that some dude answered. We could about everybody within each city and then people trying to get IP address.
- [110:32]
Tyler
There's a captain at the.
- [110:33]
Dominic Izzo
Oh yeah dude. Other out quick. How dare you speak against the dictatorship.
- [110:38]
Tyler
Anonymous. Anonymous.
- [110:40]
Keto 5o
That's all we had man. We didn't have a voice like you guys. And the same with Dominic and his own. You know what he's doing in and counter all you guys. You guys are getting a voice out there for people that need it. And then obviously the cops are getting hammered by the press. You give them another avenue to escape
- [110:55]
Dominic Izzo
that crap, you know Enemy where the admin's worst nightmare.
- [111:01]
Tyler
Yeah. Your shirt. Your sheriff unfollowed me.
- [111:05]
Dominic Izzo
Did he really?
- [111:06]
Tyler
Yeah. Not a fan anymore. It's a shame.
- [111:10]
Dominic Izzo
Oh man. My old sheriff used to follow Mike when Mike roasted half my chain of command. And then.
- [111:17]
Tyler
And then yeah I saw a video of him doing a press con. It was real bad. Some type of stupid in his office. When I clicked on it it said follow. So that means he doesn't follow me anymore. So he. He quit on me.
- [111:30]
Keto 5o
I was thinking the other day I had like five chiefs while I was there. It was insane. The rotation I dealt with.
- [111:35]
Tyler
I worked with Boynton. Probably. Definitely when you were there. We did.
- [111:39]
Keto 5o
You probably know a bunch of the guys. Scott Sproul.
- [111:42]
Tyler
Yes. We did a multi agency massage parlor ring in like 20, 15, 16, 13, 12. We see the condo on the beach. And you guys had one. We had one and one in Daytona. So I was actually up and back and forth to Boynton.
- [111:57]
Keto 5o
I did one of those I hit in the little work truck that the AC didn't work. And we watched on camera. These girls just please these dudes. And it was nasty.
- [112:05]
Dominic Izzo
Dude.
- [112:05]
Keto 5o
There's no porno jerk material at all.
- [112:07]
Tyler
We did sneak and peak warrants where we broke in when they were closed and we took a radio that they had on the counter, we sent it out or we bought the same one. Sent it out to a company that installed a wireless camera and then we went back in and replaced replace the radio and then we could stream from across the street. We did it.
- [112:21]
Dominic Izzo
Do they. Are you still allowed to do sneak and peaks?
- [112:24]
Tyler
Yeah.
- [112:24]
Dominic Izzo
Or is like that's when you go in when the business is closed with a warrant and you set up cameras and then you bounce.
- [112:30]
Tyler
Yep. That's what we did. We did it in three location. We did it in three locations. We took the microwave in one location. We took the Microwave, because the money transactions were in the office and then in the. A radio in the room. And we sent. We bought the exact replicas and then sent them off. They got installed wireless cameras. We went back in. We saw a lot of interesting things inside. Oh, there goes my camera.
- [112:51]
Dominic Izzo
2015.
- [112:52]
Keto 5o
Wow. We had to go in and. Oh, I think it was 06. We actually had to go in and with the locksmith, you know, and then you're installing the cameras wherever in the AC vents or whatever we were doing then.
- [113:05]
Tyler
It was wild. It was wild what we saw. And, you know, we had to stop the dudes after to identify them and then pretend that we didn't really know what happened, but kind of prevent. And then when we went to warrant day, I'll never forget the warrant day. Two guys did the most unique things they ever. I've ever seen in my life inside a massage pile. I'm not even going to talk about it on here, but it was wild. So when I went to them, I was like, hey, man, we. We were monitoring and, you know, they were lying. There's no way. No way. And I was like, yeah, man, no way. And I was like, okay. So it was New Year's Eve. The warrants came out. New Year's Day. On New Year's Eve. I sent the agencies to their house to knock on their door for their New Year's Eve party and informed them and their wives that they had been caught in a undercover prostitution massage parlor.

Keto 5o
That's a tough conversation.
- [113:49]
Tyler
Yeah, that's the, you know, that's. That's the guys that cooperate. I was like, hey, it's going to be an Indian county warrant. It won't be on your local website. If you decide to, like, drive up here, turn yourself in, and then go back home. It won't. You won't get arrested locally. So I was very nice to most of the guys, but it was a huge case. We seized half a million dollars. Like,
- [114:08]
Keto 5o
start getting phone calls from all these other people that had gone through that place like a week or two before. We started getting those.
- [114:14]
Tyler
Like, here's what we. Here's what we had. We had a state attorney. I know he went. I know he's guilty. We had a state attorney go in like two days before we went live, and we weren't ready yet. And of course, miraculously, he found out not to go back. That's the whole crooked judicial system here. And same people that came after me. But yeah, we had a state attorney that was going in. We had. Had. It was pretty Interesting, dude. Some of the people.
- [114:36]
Keto 5o
I was doing a detail at a jewelry store, you know, and one of the guys that worked there was. We identified him on one of the videos we watched, so. But we had to play it off because he hadn't been arrested yet. We're just waiting around. I was always interesting, you know, but.
- [114:52]
Tyler
Hey, look who's here, man.
- [114:55]
Dominic Izzo
Yeah, back.
- [114:58]
Tyler
He doesn't text me. Don't worry about it. That happens like twice a month. I'll deal with it. But yeah, so that's a really awesome story because, you know, I was fat at one point and it. It is a hell of a day to wake up and go, today's the day and not let it be tomorrow again and tomorrow again and tomorrow again. Actually draw the line. So it's an awesome story and I commend you for putting in that work. A lot of people think just easy, but it's probably the. Yeah, it's a hard, Hard.
- [115:27]
Keto 5o
It's hard, dude. Even with our kids that make them eat right, It's. Eating is such a pain in the ass. But you know what, what's am I gonna do? Am I gonna feed my kids this poison? I can't do it, man.
- [115:36]
Tyler
I mean, that's even more. A lot of parents will take care of themselves and not push it to their kids. The fact that you complete it is awesome. You're a huge supporter. We talk all the time in DMS and all that stuff. So I. I mean, you've been.
- [115:50]
Keto 5o
And the way you feel, guys, and the way your central nervous system will calm down when you get off the. The sugars and all the high carb food that jacks your, you know, blood pressure and all that, if you're able to calm it down, you're gonna make better decisions. You're gonna be less hangry, you know what I'm saying? And you're not going to miss your 40 time and kick, you know, punch the guy's teeth out because you miss freaking pizza.
- [116:10]
Tyler
So when Tyler drinks like 11 beers a night, sweats during night shift, you think he should probably stop doing that.
- [116:16]
Keto 5o
You should put some element or some. Something in your booze. At least you're getting hydrated.
- [116:21]
Dominic Izzo
I always want to do Carnivore, but I heard when you could you. I heard like you said, you gotta lean into it. Because my friend Josh started it off the rip and he was like, I was my brains out all day. Because your body's so used to all that that when you go straight carnage. So he was like. Or my dad's been on Carnivore for, like, years. And he was telling me, you gotta. I mean, he's 60 years old. He looks great. He obviously was. They were trying to push him for. To his. What was it?
- [116:51]
Keto 5o
Statins.
- [116:53]
Dominic Izzo
And he was like. He was like, I. He went to go get his. His stuff, scanned for a hundred bucks, and he is completely clear. He's got high cholesterol because it's good cholesterol or whatever. And. But he's been doing it. He's like, man, you gotta just, like you said, start. No beers, no sodas, no sweets, and just start knocking things off as you. As you continue down that path. And then before you know it, you'll
- [117:17]
Keto 5o
be on Carnivore and your eating window, change it. Like, I didn't. I don't. I haven't eaten now yet. I had a couple cups of coffee with bone broth on a heavy cream that kind of holds me over. I eat twice a day. I stay hydrated, I stay energetic. So you don't have to eat that six meals a day crap. That's freaking everybody. That wears out your. Your freaking digestive system. You're not supposed to eat.
- [117:36]
Tyler
Like, when I got. That's what I did. And I'd be interested in trying Carnivore. I. I did the six meals a day. When I got down to my, you know, all the way down, like 4% body fat at once in my life in like 2018.
- [117:47]
Keto 5o
You do a calendar?
- [117:49]
Tyler
I just. Yeah, I did a show. I did a show like every dumb. But it was like the time I got the best shape. I wasn't even doing it for any other reason than just I woke up one day, I was like, you know what I'm gonna do? Two months, completely strict. And I eat the same six meals every day for two months. And I got down to, like, ripped.
- [118:04]
Keto 5o
And it's Carnivore's fun, man. I get rib eyes. I have freaking meatballs. I can make freaking all kinds of food. That's still exciting. You can mimic a lot. It's not like the vegans where they got to make their fake veggies look like me. Come on. We're not out there making our meat look like veggies, I'll tell you that.

Dominic Izzo
So my dad's going there. Oh, no, wait, he went there? He went there already last year.
- [118:40]
Keto 5o
Oh, I probably saw him. Ask him about Keto 5.
- [118:43]
Dominic Izzo
Oh, I will. I was like, you're going to meet. You went to Meat Stock? He didn't tell anybody because I'm assuming he thought everybody would roast him for it. But Meat Stock sound.
- [118:52]
Tyler
Yeah, it sounds pretty bad.
- [118:54]
Keto 5o
