Key Segments & Discussions

[02:23 - 04:32]

2. Iran Pilot Rescue: The Story, Scepticism, and Heroics

[04:32 - 24:50]

Timeline & Rescue Narrative

• [07:43] Tyler:
  • "On April 3, 2026, a US F15 Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran by air defense systems..."
  • The crew was forced to eject over mountainous, hostile Iranian territory.
  • The pilot was quickly recovered, but the weapons systems officer landed deeper in enemy lines and initiated SEER (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape).
  • The US launched a massive combat search and rescue, deploying 200+ special operations troops, fighter jets, drones, MC-130s, etc.
  • Iran conducted an aggressive search, even incentivizing civilians.
  • The rescue involved real firefights, drone cover, US intelligence deception, and mission adaptation (destroying own helicopters to prevent tech capture).
  • Both crew members were eventually saved alive, setting a rare, high-risk combat rescue inside enemy territory.

Skepticism About Viral Photos

• A debated photo of the rescued airman holding an American flag:
  • Some hosts suspect it's AI-generated due to “too-perfect” features (e.g., "perfectly trimmed beard, perfect smiles" - [06:32] Tyler, Mike).
  • Contention over whether major news or official sources verified the image.

Memorable Quotes

• "You don't know what to believe anymore. Are these pictures AI? People are saying it's verified… but who verified the people verifying the war in Iran?" – Tyler [05:43]
• "I would be curious to see if the White House had a picture like that. Time Magazine maybe—but unless you see the original photographer, it's unverifiable." – Mike [20:04]

On American Will & Military Excellence

• G Money delivers a dramatic, patriotic summary of the rescue:
  • "They created a deadly three-kilometer kill zone around that damn pilot, killed any Iranian who dared to get close. They carved out an airstrip in enemy territory, landed massive C130s, pissed in their bedroom… CIA fed Iran fake intel, Special Forces with Reaper drones. No American left behind. That's our credo." [27:25 - 30:26]
• Spirited back-and-forth about the kill count, collateral damage, and political/moral implications.

---

3. Trump’s Response & Broader Geopolitical “Theory”

[12:24 - 16:46]

• Trump's all-caps tweet promising massive retaliation if Iran didn’t comply:
  • "Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one Iran. Open the Strait or you’ll be living in hell. Just watch. That’s the President of the United States." [12:34] Mike
• Speculation Trump is using provocative tweets as political diversion.
• Discussion of a social media "conspiracy theory" suggesting US oil dominance as a hidden motive behind the standoff.
• "He's creating the crisis so the world needs America's oil—erase the national debt by making us the only source." – Mike paraphrasing a “theory” [16:10]

---

4. “Question Everything” Culture & Media Manipulation

[18:30 - 21:49]

• The hosts reflect on how skepticism and the prevalence of AI have eroded trust, even in heroic military narratives and official reporting.
• "Even a heroic rescue—now the first question is, is it AI? Is it fake? We're a 'question everything' generation." – Mike [18:30]
• Urging caution about emotionally charged content and war sentimentality: "We need to be careful about how it makes us feel emotionally… 9/11 pulled at our heartstrings, and 25 years later we go, huh, they pulled our strings a bit." – Nick [21:27]

---

5. Law Enforcement & Military Leave: Double Standards, Gender, and Policy

[36:18 - 52:33]

• Broad group discussion about how cops with National Guard/reserve duties are often treated as burdens or even punished by agencies upon return.
• [40:09] Candid and at times controversial debate comparing how maternity leave is often better accommodated than military leave for law enforcement, including strong opinions about gender roles in policing:
  • "Stay at home, raise your kids, get out of policing… Let the men do it." – G Money [40:19]
  • Critique of the expectations and liabilities involved in having pregnant women in active policing roles; liability of putting expectant mothers in the field.
  • "I don't want to go to jail, but I don't want to hurt you … and if something happens, that's on my conscience." – Nick [42:08]
• The group outlines how legal protections (e.g., FMLA) sometimes enable long absences, with resultant hardship on short-staffed teams, sparking frustration among some of the male officers.

---

6. Blue Collar Spotlight: Rigger “Jake” Interview

[63:11 - 81:00]

• Guest: Jake, a wireline rigger from Texas (and son of a longtime law enforcement officer).
• Candidly recounts his roots, young adulthood missteps, and preference for blue-collar, hands-on work over corporate culture:
  • "Every time I started making decent money corporate, I just hated it—people are just slimy. I like turning a wrench and finishing a job. That's a good feeling." – Jake [68:50]
• Compares oil field life to blue-collar “Armageddon” stereotypes, confirms there’s a “realness” and camaraderie akin to what law enforcement/first responders understand.

---

7. Sports & Single-Dad Lifestyle Banter

[84:35 - 96:26]

• Canine (sports segment regular) and the hosts riff on balancing single parenting, the “roster life,” dating apps, and the merits of church or farmer’s market dating versus “filling the void” with vices.
• Recap of current sporting events (NCAA basketball, baseball highlights, NFL negotiation drama).

---

8. Police Discretion: Should Celebrities (or Cops) Get Off on DUIs?

[105:12 - 116:40]

• Spirited, irreverent debate: Should high-profile “pro-American” figures like Kid Rock or Tiger Woods be given leniency if caught drunk driving?
  • "You need people like Kid Rock out there… If you start losing the Kid Rocks, you start losing overall as a conservative… Cops need public support; dumbass, stupid cop is gonna go write Kid Rock a DUI?” – Nick [106:46]
• Hosts admit to examples where cop “brotherhood” (and sometimes celebrity) led to overlooked DUIs, while debating the fairness and modern bodycam-era risks of such discretion.
• Highlight: Outlandish anecdote about a detective later caught abusing prisoners—underscoring the need for transparency and the repurcussions of "looking the other way".

---

9. Final Segments: General Banter & Wrap-up

• Touch on irreverent blue-collar and law enforcement everyday stories, camaraderie, old-school versus modern work ethics.
• Promotion of blue-collar/first responder apparel and community brands.

It's, it's definitely a good time.

[Tyler]

We'll get into it, man. Over the weekend, the, the second pilot of the two down aircrafts was recovered. The first pilot was recovered pretty quickly. And then I remember, I want to say Friday at the end of business day or the second one was still unaccounted for. The. The issue is, is that there's no news until there's news. And when there's news, everybody's putting it out. So it's almost like we're not going to sit here and tell you that we are the go to source of the world politics. And you know, like, we're obviously going to cover it because it's a, it's a, it's a miraculous thing that happened. But you know, I mean, like I said, when there, there's nothing about anything. The way they're doing things now, there's no information about anything. And then they put it out officially and then everybody covers it, like in detail too. And I'm not. Like I was saying, we're not some, these guys, a lot of these people like cc, they're just gifted at collecting information. They have the right resources, the right contacts and I mean.

[Nick]

And it's getting.

[Tyler]

And you don't know what to believe anymore. And like I'm still on the fence about the picture.

[Mike]

Which one?

[Tyler]

It's AI or not?

[Mike]

The blown up stuff?

[Tyler]

No, no, no, no. The picture of him and the. In the aircraft holding the flag. Oh, yeah. And the guys that are just. Everything's so perfect and everybody's like, it's AI. And everybody else is like, no, it's not.

[Nick]

It's real. It's verified.

[Tyler]

Like who verified the people verifying the war in Iran?

[Nick]

Is that who verified it?

[Mike]

But there's nothing verified anymore.

[Lewis]

It's happening more and more.

[Mike]

Even people that I consider very intelligent. There was another chick, AI cop page, and there's like 25 people sent it to me and I'm like, bro, like, stop. You can't tell. This is AI.

[Lewis]

What I do know about that though

[Mike]

is it sounds like that dude did some pretty epic.

[Nick]

Yeah, we'll get into that.

[Tyler]

Here's the, here's the picture. The picture I'm referencing, this was shared by.

[Mike]

That looks very AI. I'm not saying it's not true again, what.

[Tyler]

But now we're subject to.

[Mike]

But the smiles and the happiness, like,

[Tyler]

look at the perfectly trimmed beard. It's just the perfect picture. And that's what everybody keeps saying, the perfect picture.

[Mike]

Who shared it? You don't have to say the page just.

[Tyler]

Was it a. No, it says right here, Born United.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Tyler]

United usa. I think they're an apparel line.

[Mike]

But that seems like that picture would be like on Fox News, cnn. White House would share that picture because

[Tyler]

they're the ones that verify the photographer.

[Lewis]

Trump would want that picture on the

[Mike]

White House page immediately. Yeah, like, look what we just did. So I'm not saying it's not real, but I know that as much as credit as President Trump likes to take for Things we did the greatest rescue ever. Look how happy they all are. Like he would want that out. Not that it's not true.

[Tyler]

And there's another picture that is obviously AI of him being like, walked by like three, you know, looks like soft operators. And that one was determined to be AI yet it looks exactly like this one and just in a different setting. So.

[Mike]

Yeah, so. But the heroics in the, in the. And the will to live on this guy's part was pretty serious.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I have, so I have the, the breakdown if you want me to read.

[Lewis]

Yeah, good.

[Nick]

Absolutely.

[Tyler]

So CC sent it to me. Obviously he's in New York. He's on his way home today.

[Nick]

New York.

[Mike]

He's all over Chicago.

[G Money]

New York.

[Tyler]

He was in New York.

[Mike]

I thought he was in Chicago too.

[Tyler]

No, he was in New York. All right, I'm crazy, I think, anyways, but he can't be on today. But on April 3, 2026, a US F15 Eagles Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran by Iranian air defense systems, which still blows my mind.

[Mike]

I can't believe they're shooting jets down.

[Lewis]

If you would have told me we

[Mike]

would be having this, we would have this many jets shot down by Iran, I would be like, there's no way

[Tyler]

by surface to air stuff.

[Mike]

Yeah, like how do.

[Tyler]

Forcing both crew members to eject in a hostile mountainous territories. The pilot was quickly recovered, but the weapons system officer. Okay, so right there, I. I was wrong earlier.

[Mike]

It's not.

[Lewis]

This is the guy behind.

[Tyler]

It's not two aircraft. It was one aircraft.

[Mike]

This is. That's Goose. Maverick flying Goose is the back down the back.

[Tyler]

The weapon system officer landed deep inside enemy territory and immediately went into seer mode. Survival, evasion, resistance and escape. Alone, likely injured and surrounded by active search efforts, he did. He hid in high elevation terrain, limiting movement and using short encrypted radio burst to avoid detection. At the same time, Iran launched its own aggressive search operation, deploying ground forces and even offering incentives for civilians to help locate them. Turning the situation into a high stakes race between the US Rescue forces and Iran capture. Initial U. S Rescue attempts using helicopters and special operations scenes were met with heavy resistance and had to be aborted. Escalating the mission into a full scale combat search and rescue operation. The U. S. Deployed over 200 Special Operations personnel supported by fighter jets, drones like the MQ9 Reaper and MC130 aircraft, creating a layered operation that included real time surveillance, air cover and direct engagement with Iran Iranian forces. As teams pushed into the area, they reportedly came into Active firefights with hostile elements. While air assets conducted precision strikes on approaching units to keep them away from the survivor. Intelligence agencies added another layer by misleading Iran search efforts, buying critical time. Once ground teams linked up with one survivor, with the survivor who was wounded but mobile, they attempted extraction. But a malfunction or threat forced them to destroy their own aircraft on site and prevent sensitive technology from being captured. A second extraction was then executed under pressure, successfully recovering the airmen alive. In the end, both crew members were saved. But the operation involved multiple damage or destroyed assets and significantly heightened tensions, stranding it standing a rare example of high risk combat rescue conducted by deep inside conducted deep inside enemy territory. There was a mix of SEAL Team 6, Delta Cesar combat search and rescue. No word on little bird pilots, but likely night stalkers.

[Mike]

So that's crazy dude.

[Tyler]

So what did you hear that he did?

[Mike]

I was told that he got to like, he climbs like 7000ft in elevation to get to a like high ground in the mountains to get away from, you know, the locals and, and have more ability to hide. Which man can you imagine that feeling being shot down in Iran? You have like a radio, very little, probably no ammo. I imagine they're armed. So you're like in a foreign country that wants to any that all they want is one American in custody to hold up on the news that bargaining chip and you're shot down.

[Tyler]

And they, they were saying they were going to throw, they were, they were going to feed American service members or sharks. Oh yeah, like that's like they make fun of evil like that Austin Powers with laser beams on their heads.

[Mike]

Like they're specific. So any American that could be captured right now would be the, the grand prize and that becomes, you know, a huge bargaining deal. How does Trump face the media with you got one American pilot or weapons operator captured so you'd start blowing up people. We're going to kill you. Like that is the ultimate goal. But for that guy, like I said, he's a, he's a, he's not a pilot even a pilot. I mean they're obviously, they're trained in a very high, high level, you know, area. But they're not fighters. They're not, you know, they're not infantry guys.

[Tyler]

And I think, I think the country needed a story like this.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And it, and this is the Hail

[Mike]

Mary that gets caught and they win the national championship.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I mean that we need it. We need, we need, we don't know we need it but we need a good valiant effort and heroic Survival story where everybody gets home safe. Because that could have been bad. Yes. For the political side of this campaign that Trump kind of dragged everybody into.

[Mike]

So, yeah, I'm trying to find the

[Tyler]

rant he went on.

[Mike]

Like, he went on a rant. Is it the tweet where he cussed about everything?

[Nick]

We got old Trump.

[Tyler]

There you go.

[Mike]

He says two, this is that he's got a deadline set for tomorrow for Iran to like give up. Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one Iran. Open the straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. All caps. Just watch. That's the President of the United States. That's the President of the United States.

[Lewis]

That seems like a Patreon conversation about stickers or a camera like that. That's the President of the United States.

[Jake]

Do.

[Mike]

I'm just gonna play devil's advocate. I'll play.

[Lewis]

I'll play liberal.

[Mike]

Mike here.

[Lewis]

Does it make him.

[Mike]

Do you think it makes him sound weak or like he's WWE bad guy that knows he's gonna lose, but he's got to get the audience drawn in to start cussing and swearing. The sound. Make it sound.

[Lewis]

Because, you know, we talk about in

[Mike]

the hood, you're gonna cuss and swear a little bit more in certain areas.

[Lewis]

Do you think it makes him look

[Mike]

weak or sound weak or maybe he's wizard of Ozing it behind this curtain that he's acting like that because he's knows maybe it's not going well?

[Tyler]

I think that there could be a chance that maybe he's creating his own diversion away from the people's unhappiness with his decision in Iran. And I think now when he makes tweets like that, we're so short minded that we focus on that. Everybody's gonna go jump on this tweet like us, you know, I'm not. We're doing it, you know, and then

[Nick]

it kind of takes.

[Tyler]

So it's a diversion technique. That's all it is to me.

[Nick]

You know, that's why. But that's why he got in the

[Tyler]

White House in the first place. He said like this. And people were sick of the political, the politically correct.

[Nick]

That's what they were sick of.

[Tyler]

They were literally sick of PC culture. So Trump sending that tweet doesn't surprise me. And to be honest with you, I still kind of like it.

[Mike]

Okay. I'm not gonna lie.

[Tyler]

Okay. I.

[Nick]

But I don't.

[Tyler]

What's the point? What do you think? What do you think the point of telegraphing it is like that.

[Nick]

That doesn't seem strategic.

[Lewis]

If you're.

[Mike]

You can't. Well, here's the thing.

[Nick]

I mean, I guess you can't move.

[Lewis]

You can't move the power plants and the bridges.

[Mike]

So I guess that's like, we'll cut off all eight. You know, we're gonna cut off all aid to your location. We're gonna bomb your power plants and your. Because obviously the first thing we did was attempt to take. Take out as many missile depots.

[G Money]

And.

[Tyler]

Well, look at it like any relationship, Mike, if you do this to me, I'm gonna do this to you.

[Mike]

Yes. So you're trying to. Like, it's like aggressive bargaining.

[Nick]

Yeah. But you're also. It's also.

[Tyler]

There's no. When you do that, there's no. I guess in war you really can. As a president, but, like, there's no saying, maybe I shouldn't have done that because I'm gonna do this to you. And you go, I wouldn't do this to me because I'm going to do this. And I Then.

[Nick]

Now I put myself through this.

[Lewis]

Who does?

[Mike]

Who gets the worst? Who's gonna do it? And then somebody goes, all right, you know, I don't want you to do

[Lewis]

that, so I'm not gonna do that. But I might do this.

[Mike]

Like, it's.

[Lewis]

I saw a pretty good.

[Mike]

I'm trying to find the video. I saw a pretty good conspiracy video. Not conspiracy, but you gotta.

[Nick]

Oh, you got to do what I do.

[Tyler]

I just send them to the.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, it came from. I thought it came from my wife, but it didn't. I checked the inbox. It was a. I can sum it up. It was basically like, Trump's a genius at the end of this. Like, he creates this issue that.

[Jake]

About oil.

[Mike]

Now there's no more oil available. The straight. You can't get any more of their oil.

[Lewis]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

It's this crisis. Well, he has all of Venezuela's oil reserve. He has his own oil reserve. And basically the double back was going to be, oh, by the way, now everybody gets their oil from America. And this. He's creating this problem. This is just a theory. It was a real. It's not Mike Dilk saying it, but he basically is rated this shortage so that it all the way doubles back to, oh, look, everybody needs America again for oil. And then it drives our prices down. And essentially this. This was a conspiracy theory. It. It allows us to erase our national debt because everybody we owe money to that's. We're floating money To Is going to need our oil at some point.

[Lewis]

Yeah. We're gonna. We're gonna bomb all the oil in the world and say, all right, now we have Venezuela.

[Mike]

We have our own oil. You can only get it from us.

[Tyler]

America first, baby.

[Mike]

Yeah. And that was a real. That's not me. And I. I wish I had it. I should have sent it to myself.

[Tyler]

I'm gonna say that every time I say something. I'm just gonna say, I saw it in real. It's not me. So anyway.

[Nick]

Yeah, that's it.

[Mike]

Well, I said so many bad things that I know I got it on Copper from somebody this morning, and it was a. It was like an Asian dude talking. Not that that matters. It was an Asian dude talking.

[Lewis]

Hello, you get oil from Trump.

[Mike]

It was like one of those things, but made Lewis laugh. That was the.

[Lewis]

That was the basis.

[Mike]

Like, I don't know how. I don't have it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I. So no, Trump's treat tweet does not surprise me at all. But I, you know, again. Yeah, here. Do you want me to play bad guy?

[Mike]

Yeah, go ahead. I like that I'm always the bad guy. Even in group chats, I get left out of I'm a bad guy.

[Tyler]

As long as you don't make it into a social media reel, you're not a bad guy.

[Mike]

Oh, okay.

[Tyler]

Because everybody in here and listening to us really doesn't. Outside of emergency broadcast, no one really talks. But, I mean, do you remember when. Remember when Operation Red Wings happened and how we thought that was a narrative? But here's the thing. How dare you say that about this pilot? Now, granted, no one died, so there's. That's a different thing.

[Nick]

So now we can. Are we allowed to critique it now and question.

[Tyler]

It's. You know, because I remember when anti hero, a long time ago, we considered talking about Marcus Luttrell story, and I remember Brent saying, I don't know about that one because people died. And it's. It's. It's a different arena.

[Nick]

But we had someone came on our

[Tyler]

show that went nuts with it, and we were like, oh, okay, well, if this guy's gonna do it, he's a seal. He can do it. But it's different when people have died and you re. Because then you don't want to be wrong. You don't want to be like Alex Jones and Sandy Hook, like, saying that didn't happen. And you got 20 some families saying, how dare you?

[Mike]

Yeah, no, it's always. It's always a tough walk. But this one I don't know man. This is so tough because we're so conditioned now to not we're a question everything generation. And even as old as I go back where we didn't question anything. We were just. This is what it was. When your teacher told you something, your mom and dad you. There was no social media. We're now questioning everything to the point where a heroic rescue is. Is it AI? Is it fake? So like to try to figure out what is the, the real message motive

[Tyler]

behind you tell me.

[Mike]

Yeah, I know.

[Tyler]

Look at that guy on the right, on the left.

[Nick]

Well on the pod.

[Lewis]

First of all, I've never seen so many specialized guys smiling. They're usually miserable not smiling, doing writing books.

[Nick]

Now, now granted they've probably been on at least 72 hour operation where they're not eating more.

[Lewis]

I can't fly a plane. No water.

[Nick]

They just got into.

[Lewis]

Then they gotta blow their aircraft up because it broke.

[Mike]

Now they gotta wait for another one.

[Nick]

Yeah. And they probably were in contact a

[Tyler]

majority of that time. I don't think anybody's smiling no matter how happy they are.

[Nick]

But that does look like hey, we

[Tyler]

just won the state championship type photos.

[Mike]

Yeah. I'm not saying it's not real, but those guys don't really smile much. They're very business like and they don't like pictures.

[Nick]

That's another thing. Yeah, that's another thing.

[Lewis]

Unless those.

[Nick]

Are you gonna put the tier one guys faces up? It's AI. I know it is. I'm sorry, I don't know. People saying it's verified are wrong.

[Mike]

I would just, like I said, I would be curious to see if, if the White House had a picture like that.

[Nick]

Time magazine.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

Trump is a.

[Mike]

So.

[Nick]

And here's what you do. Here's what you do. You, you find the photographer. That's how you get the credit.

[Mike]

You'll never find it.

[Lewis]

Who took the picture?

[Mike]

The Internet's complete. It's impossible.

[Tyler]

Impossible?

[Lewis]

No.

[Nick]

Well would be the one that releases it. So therefore it's verified.

[Tyler]

I took this photo.

[Nick]

Here it is on my camera, here it is on film. Like that's why, I mean you're never

[Tyler]

gonna see an AI photo on Fox News unless somebody's seen it on Fox News. Has anybody seen this?

[Mike]

I don't know. That's the first time I saw the picture. And I, you know, and I'm on the Internet, I'm on Instagram quite a bit, but I just find it hard to believe. Like I know they're happy, but unless

[Nick]

bro, I don't even smile in my

[Tyler]

Christmas photos with my family, and I'm happy.

[Nick]

You think I'm gonna. After not eating.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Nick]

For 72 hours. Being in contact with the enemy, not knowing how I'm gonna get out.

[Lewis]

Y' all got a spare American flag back there? Who's got the flag? Like, they got a flag that's sitting around a Blackhawk.

[Nick]

I mean, maybe they brought that. So that could be something that they did if they know they're going to rescue somebody. Here's your American flag.

[Tyler]

Like that.

[Nick]

I don't know if that's a thing.

[Tyler]

That probably is a thing, and that's really cool if it is, but that picture's not real. And.

[Nick]

But that goes into my thing about we need to be careful what we're digesting.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Nick]

We need to be very careful about how it makes us feel emotionally, because guess what? We were pretty pissed about 9 11. We volunteered to go to two separate

[Tyler]

wards as a nation. Yeah.

[Nick]

And now we're all 25 years later

[Tyler]

going, huh, they pulled out my heartstrings a little bit.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I. I just. I don't know. Grab the flag, grab this, grab that. Get everybody smiling.

[Tyler]

Nick the gun guy says, I found Huckpin. In 20 seconds, I'll find.

[Mike]

Getting a hold of him was the wind.

[Tyler]

You can't. You can't run the photo through grok and have it determine if it's AI you can or can't. Maybe he make 10. The only time Tyler smiles is when he's pumping iron. Don't tell my wife that. We just. Yeah.

[Mike]

Cece, in the chat, he sent us a message.

[Nick]

He did. I just don't know what some things are.

[Tyler]

So when he uses acronyms and stuff like that, I'm like, well, if you

[Mike]

leave that word out, does it make sense? Yeah, it still makes sense. I don't know if we're allowed to say it. Can I talk about this, cc the message you sent?

[Tyler]

I would think so. He said there's a lot of chatter. Not someone sent it to me. All right.

[Mike]

He says, basically, there's a lot of chat. If there was a secondary operation going on during the rescue to see what they could. How they could get in and out, basically, and trying to get the uranium. So maybe, like, let's see how this go. I don't think he got. I mean, I ain't saying he got that shot down fake. Obviously, that was real. But maybe while that's going on. Oh, my God. They're looking for this pilot. That's a good time. That is an excellent time to launch a secondary mission or some type of counter mission to say, hey, while this is everybody's eyes over here, let's run over here and try to do xyz. But we have a lot of troops over there now too.

[Tyler]

Oh, I have one more reel I was gonna share that kind of explained it. Someone did better than we did. And I. And I. I want to share people that seem like they're know what they're talking about more than we do.

[Mike]

That's not hard to do.

[Narrator]

Happened to the trapped American pilot. Three amazing details you. You need to know. One, he survived alone behind enemy lines after ejecting over Iran. The American pilot hid in the mountains for nearly two days. At one point, he spent seven hours exposed in daylight, staying completely still to avoid being spotted. Meanwhile, Iranian forces and even civilians were promised rewards and they hunted for him. Imagine what would have happened. Two, the CIA turned it into a mind game. The Central Intelligence Agency launched a deception campaign inside Iran. They spread false intel that the pilot had already been moved, sending Iranian search teams chasing ghosts while the US forces closed in on his real location. Three, the rescue mission destroyed their own aircraft. Unlike Afghanistan, nothing was left behind. Special ops flew in using Commando 2 planes and little bird helicopters deep inside Iran. When things went sideways, two planes got stuck and were blown up. Four choppers were intentionally destroyed, all of it straight out of a movie. And that landed him in the world's most viral newsroom today. What happened to the trapped American violence? Three amazing.

[Nick]

A movie deal.

[Mike]

How do you think. Yeah, how do you think they all got out? They had to. If they had to destroy four or five helicopters.

[Nick]

Dude, know what I heard?

[Tyler]

I heard Rob o' Neill came and got him. But that's not verified.

[Lewis]

That goes with the intro.

[Mike]

It goes with the intro, huh?

[Nick]

The only thing I said that's not true. All right, we got G money. What is up, bro?

[Canine]

What's up, man?

[G Money]

Can you hear me?

[Mike]

Yeah,

[Nick]

Hi.

[Lewis]

This is the part. This is the part where you come in and storm the. Throw the pilot on your shoulder and walk out of the mountains.

[Tyler]

He's doing the dad joke where he acting like he's muted.

[Mike]

You can talk.

[Canine]

Hold on.

[Nick]

All right, we'll hold on. And we're in the middle of a live. Right. We'll hold on.

[G Money]

You hear me now?

[Lewis]

First day on the Internet.

[Nick]

We can hear. We've heard you this whole time.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[G Money]

You are hearing me?

[Jake]

Yes.

[Mike]

Just a joke.

[Lewis]

Can you hear us? We can't talk to New Jersey, but they're talking to the moon.

[Mike]

You want us to believe that, right?

[G Money]

That's what I'm talking about. I'm having a problem my end.

[Lewis]

Let's talk. Just start talking.

[Nick]

I don't have any problems, but I'm not talking.

[G Money]

I can't hear you.

[Nick]

Okay, if you can't hear it, just try Go out.

[Canine]

I got you.

[G Money]

You got me now?

[Mike]

I'm good.

[G Money]

I'm in.

[Lewis]

This is April Fool's again.

[Canine]

You guys have always technical difficulties.

[Nick]

We don't have any problems

[G Money]

today.

[Canine]

You didn't go ahead and it was

[G Money]

Kennedy that went in and got that Rob o'. Neill.

[Canine]

Get it straight. But listen up dude. You want to talk about some amazing how great this country is? You know what makes our country the greatest, strongest, freest nation the world has ever seen? This weekend, deep inside Iran, hostile actors. Two American pilots went down when their F15 got hit. Which you guys touched on. Did we leave them behind? No, we didn't. Not on our watch. The CIA ran a brilliant deception plan. They fed Iran fake intel, making them chase ghosts. While the real warriors moved in. Special operators, Delta Force, SEAL Team 6. Some of the best of the best.

[G Money]

SEAL T6 will tell you. I heard they actually wrote a book about this.

[Canine]

But that doesn't matter right now. They carved out a secret airstrip in the enemy territory. Landed massive C130s right in their kitchen. And they pissed in their bedroom. Overhead, Reaper Predator drones own the skies. That's what happened when you decimate a air force. They created a deadly 3 kil km kill zone around that damn pilot. The WSO, the Colonel Scanning every inch of that. And killed any Iranian force that dared to get close. Boom. A hellfire missile turned him into a ol is wet tree. They pulled out the first pilot quick. The second, well he hit up in that mountain we just talked about. In the crevasse for 24 hours. Evading capture. They even put a sixty thousand dollar bounty on his head. You believe that? But the real fight came on the way out. When our operators located him, got the colonel out of there. When it was time to leave two those C130s got stuck in the rough terrain. They weren't able to take off. Iranian forces swarmed all around. Not like Tim Kennedy's Iranian forces. Real Iranian forces. Fierce firefight broke out. Our warriors didn't flinch. They laid down suppressive fire. Pushed the enemy back and killed 1500 Iranian forces. They blew them the up right. They destroyed them C130s right there. Talk about burning the boats. Rather than letting sensitive American sensitive technology fall into The Iranian hands, which they've done before.

[G Money]

That's why they had it.

[Canine]

How they have all their drones. No equipment left behind. No American left behind. That's our credo. That's what makes us one of the greatest countries and militaries in the world. They thought their way to extraction, loaded up on the backup birds, and got everyone to out alive. This is the United States military. It's unmatched. The courage, the technology, the will. Unmatched. We dominate the battlefield. We protect our own. We make sure every damn soldier that holds that oath knows it. And the enemy knows it too. You don't mess with America. From our intelligence, our warriors, to the operators on the ground, to the drone pilots thousands of miles away, every piece worked perfectly. That's American excellence. You see what happens when you don't have leakers in your military like we had before, Like Biden, like the 13 on the gate, that horrible Afghanistan pullout. We are the good guys of this world. Don't let the liberals tell you something different. We're the protectors of freedom. As long as we have men and women like this in our uniform, no enemy on the earth stands fucking chance against our guys. God bless our troops. God bless the United States of America. God bless Donald Trump.

[Nick]

Whoa.

[Canine]

A good fucking day to be an American, baby. Let me tell you that. And there ain't no mistake. I heard you say something about, oh, it's not going too good. What do you mean not going too good? 32 days and we decimated the 16th largest military of the world. They had 47 years creating this army and we took it out in 32. It's battlefield. There's still, there's still elements with saws and surface to air missiles and like that. It's dangerous, dude. It's not a cakewalk, but they're still getting it done. I don't want to hear that it's going bad.

[Mike]

Yeah, I want to know

[Canine]

it's going great. What do you want to wait till a dude goes off in this country and then they say, oh, why didn't we do something about Iran? A million Americans were killed. Boo. Who? Why didn't we do something just like 9, 11? Well, somebody had the balls to do something about it and people were bitching. The pussification of America, it leaked into every area of this country and into everybody. I'm surprised at YouTube by saying it's going bad. It's not going bad, it's going great.

[Tyler]

Are you done? Can I ask a question? Is the 1500 enemy killed is that just a nick.

[Canine]

Confirmed.

[G Money]

Real. Yep.

[Mike]

Confirmed. Confirmed.

[Canine]

I believe, I believe some of that has to do with the. The Reaper and the Predator drones.

[Nick]

Hey, dead enemies. Dead enemy.

[Tyler]

Dude, I don't care.

[Canine]

I mean, bro, you know what they did? They blew up and created roadways to

[G Money]

that mountain that that colonel was on, creating backlog and traffic jams so they couldn't get up there.

[Canine]

So not only were they killing anyone that got within three clicks, they were

[G Money]

blowing roads up to even travel that way.

[Nick]

Hey, man, you know what we got to do too?

[Tyler]

We got to give it up for the intelligence guys.

[Nick]

Those guys do not get enough credit

[Tyler]

for what they do in the middle.

[Nick]

That PSYOP campaign. I mean, granted to us, that's really

[Tyler]

super cool and outlandish, but that's probably standard practice for anything like this. They're gonna launch some kind of PSYOP operation or, or, or counter, you know, operation where they make the enemy think one thing while we're doing something else, which is pretty cool.

[Mike]

Total deaths In Iran is 1500, including civilians. And everybody dead.

[Tyler]

Well, that's around.

[Mike]

That's a good number. Nearly 1500 Iranian civilians have been killed in US and Israeli strikes.

[Nick]

Are they military age males?

[Mike]

They're dead.

[Lewis]

In true American fashion, there's dead people.

[Mike]

We.

[Lewis]

That. That's all you gotta.

[Mike]

Yeah, they're dead. There's civil. There's Iranians.

[Canine]

Dead.

[Jake]

Dead.

[Mike]

That's all that matters.

[Nick]

I'll tell you what, Nick, but we do need.

[Tyler]

You're the ying to our yang. We're the one sitting here saying, you know, is this good? Look at 911. Look at these AI photographs that are making us feel the warm and fuzzies.

[Nick]

But we do need to be reminded

[Tyler]

about the spirit of America and what we were founded on. And we're allowed to do what we do when we do it, how we do it, because there are special operations guys out there and pilots out there

[Nick]

taking out what will be problems in

[Tyler]

the future, or could be problems, however you want to say, it could be problems in the future. And again, you're absolutely right. Are we gonna wait for them to bring a nuke here? Because guess what? I think about like 90 to 95

[Nick]

of the ports on our seasides are not checked.

[Tyler]

They're not. They. They can't.

[Nick]

They can't check them.

[Tyler]

They're.

[Canine]

They're, you know, checked it. During World War II, the Italians, we checked it. We locked down all the ports. True story,

[Mike]

different time. But you guys did. What do you. What do you think? So you think it's going. And I'm not saying I don't. I'm just adding. You think this.

[Nick]

You said you guys as Italians.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You guys.

[Lewis]

You think this is going great, right? Correct.

[G Money]

It's going great. Great. Absolutely.

[Mike]

Do you think we're gonna have troops on the ground?

[G Money]

Don't know.

[Mike]

To finalize it.

[Nick]

Oh, you mean conventional?

[Mike]

Like, are we jumping in? Is the 82nd Airborne gonna hit that?

[G Money]

Don't know yet.

[Tyler]

Don't know.

[G Money]

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

[Nick]

I don't think we will.

[Lewis]

Would you take the van to Iran?

[Nick]

Through you. What's that called? The uso?

[Lewis]

Yeah, like G Money driving off the back of a boat on the. Under the.

[Nick]

I'm gonna need a white utility van painted like the American bag.

[Lewis]

Roger.

[Nick]

I got. I got three. Here comes Nicker.

[Jake]

He's got a.

[Lewis]

He's got a piss bottle. There's a piss bottle going out the

[Nick]

window, throwing his trash out.

[Lewis]

Cocktails full of piss.

[Nick]

A big American flag. Just some Florida line barreling through the desert.

[Mike]

That's what we need. The real American hero.

[G Money]

I pissed my Gatorade bottle yesterday. I was tired.

[Nick]

Oh, man.

[Tyler]

So now you're out of Gatorade?

[G Money]

Yeah. I was. I'm like, why does it smell like this? Smells like orange. Gatorade. I realized my hair full Gatorade. It happens.

[Canine]

At least I didn't.

[Tyler]

Anything else in Iran will be. We'll cover tomorrow for the first hour of Patreon Tuesday, which is free on YouTube X and Facebook. But law enforcement stuff, man. Me and Mike were talking before the show, and one thing that you know as government jobs, like being in the military, right? Military as a. As a civilian. So we've all been cops. As a civilian, when you hear military leave and all this stuff, you're like, oh, they take care of their troops. But have you ever. Nick, yet when you. When you were a cop, you've seen dudes on military leave, right? And they're not really treated by the agency like it's painted. The troops are painted by the government.

[Mike]

Have you seen that, Nick?

[Lewis]

You mean cops, like cops being frowned

[Mike]

upon for being deployed or having National Guard or reserve status? Have you seen that in your career?

[G Money]

Rephrase the question.

[Lewis]

Have you seen cops who have been

[Mike]

on military status in any way, shape or form when they have to go away for their two weeks, their weekends, or have to get deployed, treated differently by the agency or not? The agency wasn't exactly excited about their

[Nick]

service because I get it.

[Canine]

I mean, I'm in a Big, Yeah.

[G Money]

I'm in a big city, it doesn't really matter. I understand when you're in a smaller township and that bodies really need it and they're bouncing for the weekends, I can get where the, the animosity might come from. But in Philly now it wasn't a big thing.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Nick]

Dude, I remember when I was a

[Tyler]

new cop and a smaller agency 400 man department, they were like all over this dude for being deployed and I'm like dude, he's overseas. Like he's overseas.

[Nick]

And they're like we're being covered as zone.

[Tyler]

And I think sometimes as cops you forget, you know because you're having to work extra hard and also you're not serving our country.

[Mike]

Yeah, well I've seen it firsthand and I have too. Like your agency's way bigger. Like 500 person agency have sworn and on, on treated differently. Constantly rewriting policy and, and the governor has made it clear, and I think the federal government has made it clear that no military person is supposed to suffer from deployment or service. Yes, but I have seen it defined suffer. Well yeah, legally, yes. Oh yeah, as soon as you got back. Oh dude, I forgot to tell you we need a guy on midnight shift or the courthouse is short. We're going to send you over there. I have seen policies rewritten. I've seen them not want to pay. I've seen them get to the nitpicky of the penny and the dollar on how oh where you were here this week then somebody got injured while they were gone. It's never, I've never seen it done very fairly from local agencies. That body, that, that body of soul they want in that bag out there. Patrolling is way more important to any agency then service to the country. And I'll say my agency was at the top was non military. They have no knowledge of what the military guys go through or what they, but they, I've seen multiple employees treated very unfairly.

[Tyler]

Yeah, they have to come back. The only thing that's guaranteed is your employment status. That's it. I think I, I, I, I, the

[Lewis]

way it's written, demoted.

[Mike]

Yeah. I have this. I don't think you can be like demoted.

[G Money]

No, I don't think you can either.

[Tyler]

So you can't. So if you're a detective and you go and you deploy overseas. So let's talk like during wartime if you were in the National Guard reserve, you have a mobe, which means you're out for four months, right? Four, six months getting ready to go to work and Then you're deployed for another year. So you're out a year and a half. They would keep, Are you saying that they would keep people on their specialty assignments?

[Mike]

I know for like FMLA you cannot be changed. And I'm pretty sure with, I'm looking through the statute, I don't think they have the right to demote you or remove you from your position. It's kind of like FMLA injury, all that stuff. You can't be punished for service. When I say punished, you can't be formally punished for service. But they can make it very, they can make it very miserable. We had a guy that finally left and he went to another agency because of how they were treating him. And I know another person that works there that has been treated pretty unfairly in many aspects, but this being one of them.

[Tyler]

And there's what, there's different types of leave too.

[Mike]

Correct.

[Tyler]

And we're kind of get into that. The old, the old female cop getting pregnant, getting maternity leave and then not wanting any, any to be treated any differently. What's your, what's your thoughts on that, Nick? Female cop.

[G Money]

Good segue, Tyler.

[Mike]

Yeah, we know what you're doing. We kind of understand the job.

[Lewis]

We know who to ask this question to as well. So smooth.

[G Money]

That was smooth. Segue. Yeah, dude, it's just, stay at home and do what you're supposed to do. Raise your kid, get out of policing and have a couple more babies. That's the best way you'll benefit society. Stay out of cop work. Let the men do it.

[Nick]

I, I mean, because what we were

[Tyler]

talking about earlier is that, you know, it's, it's.

[Nick]

Women on maternity leave seem to be

[Tyler]

treated better and more accommodated than troops on military leave. And that's, that's what it seems to me is that, you know, like, for instance, you're a female, you get pregnant.

[Nick]

I know.

[Tyler]

At least in Florida, women make their own decision on when they leave full time work. They can be out there with a little pot belly because they're too afraid to tell women you're behind a desk

[Nick]

as soon as we noticed or you

[Tyler]

told us you were pregnant. The liability is on us for letting your dumb ass go out there and think that you're not gonna fight some

[Nick]

dude, be out in the field at all. Pride, dude, pride. Not knowing your place, I guess.

[Tyler]

I don't know. You're pregnant with another human being and you're gonna go, I'm gonna go out there and fight crime. Now you're a liability.

[Nick]

Do another whole ass human Being double liability, you're gonna put that liability on somebody who might just be resisting your arrest.

[Tyler]

Right?

[Nick]

I'm gonna play devil's advocate. I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to hurt you by any means as a cop. I, I. But I don't want to go to jail, dude. I'm gonna kick, flail and run. Right? That's the name of the game. That we would do that every night. That's part of the game. You get tackled. I'm sure in the 90s, early 2000s, a little bit more than that. But still, you get tackled, you get dust off, you catch your charge, we walk back to the car.

[Tyler]

It's cat and mouse. It is what it is.

[Nick]

I do that and I run as a bad guy. And you go to tackle me and you fall and lose a baby. That's on me. Even if it's not legally on me. That's on my conscience.

[Tyler]

I gotta sit in a jail cell.

[Nick]

Go, dude, I just didn't want to

[Tyler]

go to jail for a warrant. I didn't want to kill a baby.

[Mike]

You know, jump a fence, you might get hit with a homicide tased on accident.

[Nick]

Well, it depends on what political stuff.

[Canine]

When, when a pregnant chick gets murdered,

[G Money]

they usually hit him with two counts of homicide.

[Tyler]

That is true.

[Mike]

And they have the choice is what we're getting at is now my. In my area, it became a very big political thing. The sheriff's office allowed that allowed the female to go on light duty and take the desk job. The fire department did not. The fire department stance was, you are a fireman until you that kid out.

[Nick]

Are you serious?

[Mike]

There's a female that went.

[Lewis]

A very, very decent chick too.

[Mike]

Like her. Like, like not a piece of a good fire chick. She had to actually fight and fight and they denied it.

[G Money]

Is that the term?

[Canine]

I was just thinking that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Decent.

[Canine]

That's, that's the terminology.

[Lewis]

Like, yeah, she's like throws a gear on, goes and holds the hose. Like there's. Because there's a difference. There's a difference between fire chicks and cops. Firemen aren't responsible to fight anybody. Firemen aren't responsible for resisting.

[Canine]

Those with one or two hands, it doesn't matter.

[Lewis]

She can bring it up to her legs, man.

[Canine]

I like it when she holds with

[Lewis]

her mouth as long as she can hold the hoe. Because you're not aiming at somebody shooting back. You're just aiming at a fire. So I put more.

[Mike]

Never mind. I'm gonna lose every female fan, but

[Tyler]

everyone Hose in your mouth.

[Lewis]

So anyway, that the fire department did not allow light duty for fire for females that were pregnant until they gave the baby.

[Mike]

Until they gave the baby.

[Lewis]

Till they had the baby.

[Mike]

The sheriff's office allows for immediate FML or immediate desk duty, which is interesting because if you're injured off duty, injured, you're not.

[Lewis]

Hopefully you're not getting. Hopefully you're not getting pregnant on duty.

[Nick]

Right, Hopefully.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Lewis]

If you're injured off duty, there is

[Mike]

no option for light duty.

[Jake]

Yes.

[Mike]

If you're injured.

[Lewis]

If I'm walking down the street my

[Mike]

dogs and I blow my acl, you

[Nick]

just got to fake it.

[Lewis]

Yeah, well, I know how to do it, but you can't take light duty. You are home.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

You get knocked up, you're immediately offered

[Mike]

light duty on duty.

[Lewis]

You can go sit at a desk.

[Nick]

Anyway, Nick's like the class clown, the teacher now.

[Lewis]

That's why it's in the back. That's why his desk is outside in a van. That's why he's not in a fucking

[G Money]

normal room first time.

[Mike]

But what I'm saying is, is you get knocked up, obviously off duty, you're accommodated at the sheriff's office.

[Lewis]

If you're at the track busting your dick to trot for SWAT or. Or trying to be physically fit and

[Mike]

you blow your pack or you blow

[Lewis]

your ACL running at the track, sorry,

[Mike]

bud, you gotta stay home.

[Lewis]

That didn't happen on our time.

[Mike]

You're just a.

[Lewis]

You're not protected.

[Mike]

You're gonna use all your second vacation.

[Lewis]

If you don't make it back, we're

[Mike]

offer records or we're gonna fire you.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Somebody just said, sorry, I just saw a tactical redaction. I know. That is. I work for a sheriff's office for a short period of time. Got activated for active duty and they wanted to stick me in the court when I came back because they were pissed.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Tyler]

So I just resigned.

[Nick]

Exactly.

[Lewis]

That should be a lawsuit.

[Mike]

That should be a lawsuit. But get.

[Lewis]

Catch the. Catch the lightning rod at home, 3am

[Mike]

with your legs behind your head.

[Lewis]

And you get a. You get as much time off as you want.

[Mike]

You can.

[Nick]

Some.

[Mike]

Some people can even like sue for promotion when they get back. So it can go any way.

[Lewis]

Yeah, you haven't.

[Mike]

You have all the rights with the sliver.

[Lewis]

You have all the rights.

[Mike]

You can do whatever you want. That's all I got to say about that.

[Tyler]

About what?

[Mike]

That whole thing.

[Lewis]

What you're trying to bait me and I'm not buying it. I'm not Buying it.

[Mike]

But that is, that's to me is

[Canine]

what is.

[Lewis]

I think that that's where you go

[Mike]

down Dominic and Nick's role that like what can I do?

[G Money]

But you don't agree with it.

[Lewis]

Injured and I'm out or if I get deployed to war.

[Mike]

You're a Look at this stick on

[Lewis]

the Iraq what an so let's be

[Canine]

honest, most fire chicks don't take dick

[G Money]

anyway so they're not getting fire chicks dude.

[Canine]

They drive. They drive a jeep and they put

[G Money]

the little ducks on the front

[Mike]

do

[G Money]

too salt life stickers on the phone

[Mike]

especially the older ones.

[Lewis]

The for my generation, the gym teachers.

[G Money]

You'll find a flip flop decal and salt life sticker on the jeep and a.

[Nick]

In a Belgian mallet they got a

[Lewis]

shirt that says my other ride is

[Mike]

a Subaru when they're underneath their bunker gear.

[G Money]

My other partner's a clam.

[Lewis]

But.

[Nick]

I, I stand with Nick and Don.

[Mike]

But you can get knocked up and get everything back. You're protected. You could have three, four kids in a row, dude. Who says you can't?

[Nick]

I don't. And here's the thing. I know it does but I here

[Tyler]

look at it like a team, right?

[Nick]

We're a team.

[Tyler]

We're training for something. We got case files. We're detectives, we're attack team.

[Nick]

I mean let's just get away from

[Tyler]

patrol patrols are always going to be undermanned. It really doesn't matter if a guy's on deployment, a girl's pregnant, a guy's suspended for something, you know, or, or everybody's under man of troll. But you're a team. You're a specialty assignment and you know, you go get pregnant, you're choosing a family over your profession.

[Nick]

It's all the way you look at

[Tyler]

it because women are going to say you have a right which is fine, they do but. And then somebody's gonna argue, well what's

[Nick]

the difference between it I'm gonna get ahead of it.

[Tyler]

What's the difference between police working a regular job? Mike, if they worked at.

[Mike]

My favorite one to say is danger, expectation performance because.

[Nick]

Because other jobs you can work until you pop.

[Mike]

Three weeks after you pop.

[Tyler]

Yeah you can.

[Nick]

You can work but as a cop and we'll wrap fire cool fire chicks

[Tyler]

or whatever Mike said they don't get pregnant though.

[Lewis]

They're the father.

[Jake]

Right?

[Lewis]

They give.

[Nick]

But I mean yeah, when you're, when

[Tyler]

your profession is dangerous like that and then you're like hey team, I'm out for six months. I'm Gonna be behind a desk, and then I'm gonna be on FMLA or maternity leave, and then I'm gonna be post leave, and then I'm gonna not have any. I'm gonna have to be retrained on everything. Get back in the groove. It's just.

[Mike]

Missed training, missed fitness, missed firearms, missed performing. You know how it is. You come back from a week off and you're like, dude, I can't even

[Tyler]

remember my password again.

[Lewis]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Mike]

So you're.

[Lewis]

But.

[Mike]

And that's where I'm not. I want to go off the rails. It's just. It's not right. I don't care what you say. You can have three kids back to back, be out of work, what, two months, get knocked up again. Three months getting up me. My. My boys are. But what if 13 months apart.

[Tyler]

What if they don't have enough sick leave?

[Mike]

I don't think you can get rid of them, dude.

[G Money]

They're fmla.

[Nick]

Yeah, but you have to have the leave for fmla.

[Mike]

You have to hold your spot. Federal law requires them to hold it for. So, no, you don't have to just. You won't get paid.

[Nick]

Oh, but you can still have your spot.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[G Money]

Yeah.

[Nick]

For pregnancy.

[Canine]

And there's.

[G Money]

There's different laws now for pregnancies too. I. I think it's. You'd have to look into each state.

[Tyler]

What, are there different types of pregnancy? Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Multiple levels.

[Lewis]

Well, it covers it, Nick. It covers adoption too, for the fire chicks.

[G Money]

Yes, it does.

[Mike]

Lewis went to the middle camera there for a minute, just random like it.

[Lewis]

He even knew it.

[Mike]

He started shaking his head. He's like, I up.

[Lewis]

My perfect streak of Guitar Hero was over. But there is.

[Mike]

It covers adoption as well. So even this even encompasses the fire chicks that maybe want to adopt three kids in a row. They can be as long as they want. Their position's held. But you go to Iraq and you're a piece of. For leaving everybody and then you come back. I'm telling you, you can use.

[Lewis]

You can. Yeah, but as a man, you're gonna

[Mike]

agree with this G. Money.

[Lewis]

I go out for nine months to Iraq, right.

[Mike]

Or Iran. I go to Iran, the war ends. Trump drops the moab. I come home, I'm a war hero. They'd move me to a different position. I know. It's because they are mad I went to war.

[Lewis]

Yeah, I got a hair up my ass.

[Mike]

I'm gonna sue him.

[Lewis]

Do you think that goes anywhere?

[Mike]

Do you think anybody gives a. About Some middle aged white male that's like, hey, I got treated unfairly. Okay?

[G Money]

Same scenario, documentation.

[Lewis]

Female gets knocked up, stays out of work nine months.

[Mike]

They're like, hey, this is your third kid in five years.

[Lewis]

Like, they'll say it out loud, but

[Mike]

they're like, you know what? She always leaves this unit short. We're gonna move her from X specialty position back to patrol. She says, you know what? This is discrimination against my sex and my ability to have children. She files a lawsuit, you think she wins?

[Jake]

Yep.

[Mike]

Okay, I rest my arrest, my case.

[G Money]

It's all part of the.

[Mike]

It doesn't sound fair, does it?

[Lewis]

Yeah, but you as a man on top of it, if you claim that

[Mike]

you're feeling some type of way, you're a.

[Lewis]

You're a.

[Nick]

You.

[Lewis]

Oh, this big war veteran is mad.

[Mike]

He got transferred from the suppression unit to the road.

[Lewis]

Who the is he?

[Mike]

Oh, he's a. He spoke up. He came forward versus I got transferred. I was out three. I was out five years. Three of five years getting knocked up. And I came back and they told me I couldn't be a detective anymore. And I'm going back to row.

[Nick]

Here's the thing, too, the harsh reality.

[Tyler]

I don't think the detective bureau wants somebody that's been out.

[Lewis]

No, but you can't say that if it's a female.

[Mike]

You can't.

[Lewis]

Would you rather have a guy come back?

[Mike]

I'm gonna put you on the spot big time.

[Lewis]

Guy goes, a chick gets knocked up. Third kid in six years, out for another year.

[Mike]

You're taking all the caseload. She comes back, everything's great. Or a dude goes over and blasts Iranians for six months, comes back and you're like, who in your mind would be like, all right, this guy, he gets. He or she gets a pass.

[G Money]

Hold on.

[Lewis]

Or just who am I less perturbed with?

[Tyler]

The Iranian blaster.

[Mike]

Okay, yeah, hold on.

[G Money]

So when the girl comes back, is she blowing you in the evidence room?

[Lewis]

Well, she gets a pass if she's doing that, right?

[G Money]

Absolutely, yeah.

[Lewis]

She ends up pregnant again. She ends up pregnant again after that, like at some point, then she's out again. And now you got, like, quasi child support, so.

[Mike]

I don't know. I just personally think that I. If that's go. If you're gonna go, and I'm gonna go full izzo here. That lends credibility to women in law enforcement. There's no scenario where a man can go, I'm gonna take off. Nine months, I'm out.

[G Money]

No balls broke. When you get Hurt in the line of duty. They.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Nick]

Men are awful.

[G Money]

You're not even out hurt.

[Tyler]

We're not even talking about the ball busting. We're talking about. This has been out for three months. Because we know how it is. Workman's comp is a corrupt system. They're going to. They want to stall it out. They don't want to fix you. They want. They want you back on duty asap. They need boots filled. So what they're going to do is they're going to play mind games with you and make you feel like a. For going, no, I'm not taking this doctor's word for it.

[Nick]

I literally had one doctor say, yeah,

[Tyler]

you have a torn ligament in your knee. It was like MCL or something. They're like, it's not terrible, but it. You need to address it. And then they sent me.

[Nick]

So I was like, holy. This happened on duty.

[Tyler]

I went to the workman's comp doctor, and he was like, I don't see it. And I'm like, this is the same MRI that this doctor said. He goes, I don't see it.

[Nick]

I don't.

[Tyler]

I don't see it. I'm like, I think they circled it

[Nick]

in red right here, you know, so at the end of the day, you're a giant.

[Tyler]

If you sit there and fight for your own health, for your own rights to be treated fairly, you know, that's. That's what it. You know.

[Nick]

Straight, white male.

[Mike]

I've lived it. In 2018, I had meniscus tear surgery without telling a soul. I was a detective on a Friday, I had the surgery, and I came back to work Monday limping, just like, oh, yeah. So, never told anybody. Two, three years later, 28, 19, 20 years into my career, I blew my hamstring and left me again, like, in front of everybody. I couldn't hide it. The first time I ever did anything workers comp. It was my leg was this, you know, size of a bowling ball. My knee was off immediately. Immediately.

[Lewis]

Treated like dark, and I'm fit.

[Mike]

I want a fitness competition. The agency.

[Lewis]

I do CrossFit. I work out.

[Mike]

I'm on SWAT. Immediately, this guy like, my knee, you know, my shit's.

[G Money]

How many lesbian cops were working out with you in CrossFit?

[Mike]

None. Female cops rarely work out.

[G Money]

The lesbians. CrossFit.

[Tyler]

Catnip to lesbian.

[Mike]

You can tell those ones, they have, like, shaved side of their head and stuff. Like, they're different.

[G Money]

They love.

[Mike]

They can work a fire hose, though.

[G Money]

I'll tell you that, yes, they can. With their mouths.

[Mike]

Oh, God.

[G Money]

Yo, I got breaking news, man. Israel just hit a petrochemical plant in Iran, killing two top Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders.

[Mike]

And the gas prices were up 70 cents.

[Lewis]

And the gas prices just went up?

[G Money]

Just temporary, dude.

[Mike]

What else? Do you mind?

[G Money]

What are those little bottles on your desk?

[Mike]

Vengeance.

[Nick]

Vengeance, baby.

[Mike]

Or our commercial at halftime?

[Lewis]

We're not storms.

[Mike]

They're not.

[G Money]

Can you tell me I'm attaining that up for you?

[Mike]

Yeah, but we're gonna play a whole video.

[Tyler]

We're literally about to go put, like right now.

[Lewis]

I thought you were talking about my

[Mike]

steroids I got back here, my testosterone.

[Nick]

What's in those vials, Mike?

[Lewis]

Vaccination.

[Nick]

Yeah, I know.

[Tyler]

Vengeance obviously has been a sponsor of ours. I think maybe. Maybe in. Maybe it's either ghostbed or. Or Vengeance have been longest man. Jason from Vengeance has been on the show, is a great dude. What he did was he started.

[Nick]

He's a big dog lover and he

[Tyler]

was watching all these dog.

[Nick]

Dogs, like 99 of the dogs in

[Tyler]

our population have problems that are easily avoidable.

[G Money]

That's a commercial you play. Okay.

[Tyler]

With the right food.

[Mike]

Welcome to the show.

[Nick]

The right food.

[Tyler]

So he started making essentially supplements for dogs to keep his dog alive. He kept his dog, who only had like a couple months to. To live for another couple years with the supplements that he created. Like a lab scientist because he wanted his dog to live. So he created a product out of it. It was so good. People were like, man, my dog is doing amazing.

[Nick]

My terminal dog's doing amazing.

[Mike]

Maybe it works for me. Can he.

[Nick]

Can you make it for humans? And he was like, okay. So he then met.

[Tyler]

No, Vengeance really took off when he started making the stuff for humans.

[Mike]

Before we go, there's a lot of things about dogs people don't realize. One of the other things I learned was by nature, by the world, they drink. They like to drink water that's moving, like to drink out of creeks in the wild and all that stuff. What do we do? We stick a bowl of water in the corner for our dog parasites. Stuff grows, it's stagnant, and dogs will actually under hydrate because they're scared. So I bought a part of It's a schema. But I looked into it before we bought it and it's true. We bought like a water fountain type drink for the dog. It's like a little machine and it constantly pumps water in and filters it. So my dogs only drink filtered water,

[Lewis]

which is funny because at one point

[Mike]

my wife used to Laugh at me for pouring bottled water into the dog bowl. Now we have a whole filtration system just for the dogs.

[Lewis]

But they say some dogs will under

[Mike]

hydrate due to the fact that the water is not. They don't go drink as normal as they would.

[Tyler]

It's the same reason why I've had my dog for what, three years, Two years. And he, I go to hand him a piece of anything and he sniffs it first before he takes it.

[Nick]

I'm like, dude, I'm not gonna kill you. Yeah, I'm not gonna give you that. Something that kills you.

[Tyler]

He sniffs it every time and then eats it.

[Nick]

Nick, you gonna come back later?

[Tyler]

Are you done for the day?

[G Money]

You tell me.

[Mike]

We'll bring it back on later on when we're, we're faltering and we need the hero that we didn't ask for to come back in.

[Tyler]

And you're like Batman, dude, We don't deserve you, but we need you.

[Mike]

We'll see you in a bit.

[G Money]

I agree with that. Okay, bye.

[Nick]

All right, guys, we'll be right back

[Tyler]

with a commercial after our commercial break with sports. Sports. We got some blue collar segments.

[Mike]

What?

[Tyler]

Oh, oh, oh, Mike's. Mike's just getting. I guess he's got something to do. So we'll be right back.

[Vengeance Advertiser]

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 across. 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 on profitability. The truth, toxicity, compromised immunity and chronic inflammation. They're not fate, they're engineered. And so is your power to undo them. We built three targeted formulas to return the body to homeostasis for pets and people to detox, defend and restore. We are the correction to decades of corruption. We are vengeance.

[Tyler]

[Tyler]

[Mike]

Yeah, you can remove that, Lois. All right, I'm gonna preface the next guest.

[Lewis]

We talked.

[Mike]

We. We've talked about first responders, military. But our third most important.

[Tyler]

Whoa, you gotta rank them like that, dude.

[Mike]

No, no. Okay, yeah, I did say it like that. You're so nasty.

[Lewis]

Third most important, based on careers I've

[Mike]

worked because I've been a freaking modern military. Maybe more.

[Nick]

How about third?

[Tyler]

Recognize that?

[Mike]

Just use the right word. You're.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you're concentrating on that third.

[Mike]

99 cent.

[Lewis]

99 crew. Don't let me down. Third most recognized based on Mike's hatred

[Mike]

for blue collar workers.

[Lewis]

But blue collar workers. When we started talking about blue collar

[Mike]

guys, we had a bunch of people reach out. Some people hesitant to come on, some people gracious enough to come on. We have a guy coming on named Jake. Jake is a wireline rigger, works in

[Lewis]

the field hard every day.

[Mike]

And he said to me the same thing you guys are talking about on this show. Even though it's first responder. Law enforcement is the same thing everybody's talking about around the country, just regular guys. Dude's got a pretty impressive resume for what I would say. Oil rigger got bachelor's degree in history.

[Tyler]

And Russian dude, he's got a pretty impressive stash.

[Mike]

He's got a hell of a stash. He's got. He's worked in the corporate world for addiction treatment. Sober proponent for military and LEO families.

[Lewis]

He always wanted to be a Marine

[Mike]

like all of us, but he was denied over some asthma when he Was a kid.

[Lewis]

But we're going to bring in the third most important part of our culture in America. The blue collar worker.

[G Money]

Jake.

[Lewis]

Jake, I had no idea your mustache

[Mike]

was going to be this impressive.

[Jake]

Thanks, man. I agree with myself.

[Lewis]

Tell us about,

[Jake]

like, a little plug here. You've heard of pbr? Like pro. Pro bull riding?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Lewis]

I thought you're going beer, but yeah, pbr. I do do a pbr.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jake]

I want to consider riding stock for pmr. Like, promote. Like, I don't do the writing. They give me eight seconds, baby. I'll make you a champion.

[Tyler]

He's really hard.

[Mike]

Do you have a headset? Like, you're real hard to hear. Hold on a second. There you go. Crank it up.

[Lewis]

Blue collar, guys.

[Canine Sports]

Man.

[Jake]

Well, dude, I've got these shitty earbuds.

[Mike]

That's better.

[Lewis]

Just talk louder.

[Mike]

Scream like Nick does.

[Lewis]

What? So when we. When you reached out to me, you were telling me like, we're talking about

[Mike]

the same thing you guys are talking about. Is that correct?

[Jake]

Yeah, I mean, well, I wouldn't say, like 100%. I get the job that I work right this second. I work with a bunch of retards. But, like, in general, like my oilfield blue collar experience. Yeah. Like, it's. The conversation is very, very similar.

[Mike]

You keep cutting out. I don't know if it's a headset, Pierce.

[Tyler]

It's not that you're cutting out. It's that you're going in and out of volume. So, like, you'll be, like, really clear and then you'll. It'll be kind of hard to hear you.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Maybe take those out for me.

[Jake]

Yeah, I take those things.

[Mike]

There you go.

[Tyler]

There you go.

[Mike]

That's better.

[G Money]

So tell us.

[Lewis]

Tell us a little bit about yourself

[Mike]

and, you know, how you ended up where you are,

[Jake]

dude. So, I mean. Well, I don't know. I did. I grew up in a law enforcement family. My dad was a. He worked for dps. So, you know, that's the state police down here in Texas. He was a state trooper for forever. He promoted up to. Well, back then they still called it narcotics. He, you know, we moved around for that. He retired doing that. Now he's an elected sheriff. All that to say that's just kind of like my background for, like, being around law enforcement enforcement for whatever reason that, like, you know, I think when I was a little kid, that probably seemed like a great idea. Cool. Everybody wants to be like their dad. Like, Tyler, your story is, man, like, talk about, like, riding around with your dad, like, doing and Learning about cop stuff, like, took me back, but for whatever reason, dude, I end up, like, just kind of going down, like, a different path, like, getting in trouble. I get thrown in jail. Like, back in2011, over some. We had. We'll just call it a bad night.

[Lewis]

We've all had one of those.

[Jake]

Yeah, dude, it was. That's. That's a story for another time, but, you know, so that kind of, like, I. You know. Dude. So Marine Corps had told me no, like, before that. That was a crazy thing, because that was my only plan. Right. That's all I wanted to do. Like, in 2010. Yeah, 2010. They told me no over this childhood asthma. And I didn't know how to beat it. I'd even. I cheated. I went and took a pulmonary function test, and, I mean, dude, I gave myself a breathing treatment before I went in there, so it looked like I had superman lungs. I was cheating, lying, doing everything I could. When that guy told me no, I drove out to El Paso because there was another recruiter that I knew that said he could hook me up, but he couldn't. So anyways, I was just adrift and wound up in the jail or whatever.

[Lewis]

And are they tied together in any way? Like, you left the Marine Corps office

[Mike]

and got, like, belligerent?

[Jake]

Well, I would not say they were not connected, but it wasn't like, same day, dude. We're talking, like, months.

[Lewis]

But you went into some type of

[Mike]

way from being denied.

[Jake]

Well, I just did. I mean, I didn't have anything else going on, so I just went back doing what I was doing. Doing, which is, like, drinking and misbehaving. And so, you know, whatever. This misunderstanding happens in a parking lot, and I'm in jail, and then I'm looking at some felonies, and, like, that.

[Lewis]

You did it, right?

[Jake]

Dude, you know what's crazy? You look it up online, you would think it was, like, some freaking, like, bank heist gone wrong, but it wasn't. It all happened in the parking lot of a shitty apartment complex. Like, so many things do.

[Mike]

Yeah. Is there a Nissan Altima involved at all?

[Jake]

Dude, there was not a lot of ultima Americans there. This. This apartment complex was inhabited by Indians. Like, the.

[Mike]

Like, other Indians, not.

[Canine Sports]

Yeah.

[Jake]

And, you know, so I. You know, it occurs to me, and it's, like, maybe mentioned to me by folks in my life that I ought to get sober because I keep getting. You know, all this crazy bad keeps happening, like, when I'm. When I'm drunk. So I kind of did get sober Then and end up going to college. Like, it didn't really want to. I hated it. But I was doing that. I was going to college. I ended up, like, getting a divorce degree or whatever in history. Actually, a focus on Russian history. That was an accident, too, but it happened. And. No, but that. All that probation was easy, dude. Like, being sober and just having a job. Like, that lady thought I was like. I was like a unicorn in the probation office.

[Mike]

It was.

[Jake]

It was pretty chill. Yeah.

[Mike]

Literally.

[Lewis]

So how'd you end up in. How'd you end up in the oil world?

[Jake]

Yeah, fast forward a ways. But, man, I figured out that, like, this, like, the corporate stuff, like, the working inside. Like, it sounds great, but every time I do it and start making some decent money, I just hate it. Like, I get miserable real quick. The people are just kind of, like, slimy. I don't know, dude, I'll back up. It's not even a value judgment on them. They're just not my people. I like to be outside. I like to do stuff that is, you know, at least a little physical. Dude. I like, turn a wrench like that, have a sense of, like, dude, we go on jobs, you know, like, in the corporate world, it's not really like that. We go on jobs and then when we finish the job, it's done. That's a good feeling. Yes, but specifically in the oil field, I had a buddy that did. I do what's called wireline, where we. We mostly mess with explosives and like that. We send them down the hole to do various different types of things, like poke holes in the earth with shaped charges and stuff like that. I just had a buddy that was doing it. Say again?

[Tyler]

Like Bruce Willis and Armageddon.

[Jake]

I haven't seen that.

[Nick]

What? That's like, the best movie ever.

[Tyler]

They're a bunch of roughnecks that save the world.

[Mike]

It could be you.

[Jake]

Oh, dude, I. Dude, the oil field is so stupid. Like, you would. There's no way you could make a good movie about it.

[Nick]

I'm telling you, it's a classic movie, dude. You gotta watch it. How old are you?

[Jake]

33.

[Tyler]

It was before your time. Like, you were a baby when it came out. Probably.

[Mike]

That's when he, like, flies in and saves the world, right?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

There's an asteroid coming towards Earth.

[Nick]

It's a global killer.

[Tyler]

They don't know what to do.

[Nick]

Somebody in NASA goes, we gotta blow

[Tyler]

it up from the inside. Then they go, how do we do that?

[Jake]

Oh, wait, they fly them out there, right?

[Nick]

They fly them in space. Shuttles and they drill a hole and blow the asteroid apart so it misses Earth. But the only people that can do that, I thought, I always thought the concept was really cool because it's not

[Tyler]

a bunch of Navy SEALs going out there and saving the world or, you know, not Rambo or Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was a bunch of roughnecks that didn't want to go. They were.

[Nick]

But it's like they had to be.

[Jake]

That part's right.

[Nick]

They were like, why would we do this? And then they got like the best part of the movies they got. They all got a free night out.

[Tyler]

They're like their, their boss who's Bruce

[Nick]

Willis was like, my guys might not

[Tyler]

come home on the mission. They're leaving for tomorrow. They need a night out to remember what they're doing this for. And they go out, they all get arrested.

[Jake]

Okay, that's another accurate part.

[Nick]

Dude, it's a great movie.

[Jake]

I mean, dude, yeah. If you were gonna find a group of that would show up hungover to get on a space shuttle, like, that would be it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's like I, I have my,

[Nick]

it's place in my heart for Marines.

[Tyler]

I have a space in my heart

[Nick]

for blue collar guys.

[Tyler]

Like, I always, I, you know, there's

[Nick]

just jobs I couldn't do.

[Mike]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jake]

Oh, dude, you can do it. Like, you just like, you literally gotta shut your brain off for a while.

[Mike]

It's just.

[Lewis]

No, you've never been a cop. I mean, primadonna, being a cop and being able to sit in air condition and run a hose from the passenger side air vent.

[Nick]

They make, they make devices you can buy where you put it. I mean, it came from Iraq. When we were in Iraq, they started

[Tyler]

selling these things with like the, you put a.

[Nick]

Some soldier got an idea to put a, like a tube on the vent of the Humvee and run it up his vest while he was in the turret. And so it got brought in a cop where now cops sitting in the AC is not enough in their 20, 22 Ford Explorer. They gotta run AC.

[Lewis]

Yeah, like yesterday I'm going to dinner

[Mike]

last night and there's a cop driving like a cutting, blah, blah, turns up.

[Lewis]

Where's he going? His buddy sitting in the parking lot of a park and he comes, gotta get there. Got it. The most ridiculous ever. Like, all right, man, I thought you're going to murder the way he's driving. It's like, no, my buddy's in the park. We gotta go shoot this and then run our air conditioned tube down Our back look at in the field working

[Mike]

like, hey,

[Jake]

how do you. Okay. Like, how do you actually feel about doing that? Like, dude, because I, you know, like a lot of like these. A lot of like non cops will look at cops doing like that and they're like, oh, dude. Like if they, if they saw us doing that, you know, they'll just go on and on about the driving like an yeah, dude. But I look at it and I'm like, I'm like, dude, if I had that car and those lights and. And like nobody's gonna question me. I know I'm doing it.

[Lewis]

So there.

[Jake]

I'm just being honest.

[Mike]

It's kind of like anything else with cop work, like working informers or anything else, you have to have some level of integrity. So I drove like an. But it was when I was actually. It's like that call, you know, the in betweener.

[Lewis]

Like you really can't run with your lights and siren on. But unknown. You're like, man, this doesn't sound good.

[Mike]

And you're kind of like in between. But just to.

[Lewis]

I mean, like I remember driving so

[Mike]

crazy one time a complaint came in about me, but they got the wrong vehicle.

[Lewis]

So I'm like, I'll handle that complaint driving like an.

[Mike]

Because my buddy was fighting a chick with a warrant. It was like, I wasn't the closest. There was no reason to run code, but I wanted to get there. So I was like driving crazy and

[Lewis]

I'm like, I'll tell that dude I'm the sergeant. Like, I'll tell him to calm down. And it was like a silver suv.

[Mike]

I'm like, now I drive a black

[Lewis]

Ford, but it was definitely me come based on the location, I got the car wrong.

[Mike]

But no, you have to be smart because nowadays you run a light or you do something stupid, it's all on camera. You have to justify it. But yeah, that.

[Lewis]

I guess that kind of separates who

[Mike]

gets into the job and who does it. Because if you're just gonna throw the lights on and go, it's. You can't do that.

[Jake]

But dude, I'm not saying I would be reckless, but like,

[Nick]

dude, you're faced

[Jake]

with that temptation every single day. You're not ever gonna give into it, like, take it.

[Lewis]

But there's the time when you, you

[Mike]

know, you're going to that call and you run the red light.

[Nick]

Yeah. And that's.

[Tyler]

I think that's why cops get in such bad accidents. Because you do get a little bit of a Superman vibe when you drive for 12 hours a day. That's your job, essentially. I mean, yes, you can call yourself a crime fighter, but you're a professional driver.

[Nick]

You drive around in traffic for 12

[Tyler]

hours a day, and you don't get an accident. Set your goal.

[Nick]

So you do become pretty skilled in

[Tyler]

driving, just by nature of doing the job for a long time.

[Lewis]

Time.

[Nick]

And then, man, I remember towards the end of my career, I was driving

[Tyler]

eat with my knees, going 90 miles an hour in and out of traffic. And then it happens. You t bone somebody and it's devastating because you're just. You get that Superman mentality.

[Nick]

Not saying you're like, I don't care

[Tyler]

about traffic, but you just get so confident.

[Mike]

I've been in one crash, and it was because of that. Exactly. I was driving.

[Lewis]

I was looking at the computer about

[Mike]

the call, and my late friend here,

[Lewis]

Paul Newborn, calls me, and whenever he calls it serious.

[Mike]

So I'm like picking the phone up like the. Does Paul want. I put the phone back to my

[Lewis]

legs, I took one more look at

[Mike]

the computer, and there was my partner

[Lewis]

in the Crown Vic at a dead stop. And I'm going 55 miles an hour

[Mike]

with like 25ft left. And I just locked it up.

[Lewis]

I'm like, I was smart enough, though, because it was right in the middle

[Mike]

of the road, like a busy road. There was a. There was an abandoned citrus plant.

[Lewis]

I drove my car right in the

[Mike]

citrus plant, right up against the wall, stopped it.

[Lewis]

That way nobody could see the damage

[Mike]

on the front of my car.

[Lewis]

And I just got out, stood at

[Mike]

the back like, nope, Nobody's gonna get me on camera with a wreck with a wrecked car.

[Nick]

But what happened to your car, bro?

[Lewis]

And I couldn't see it. I hit it. I was like, nope, you're not. I'll take the write up, but you're not getting me on Facebook. Stand in front of my wrecked patrol car. But it's a. I always say it's

[Mike]

a wonder we don't crash more. And that's why I have no, I would never. If I was a sheriff, barring, like. Well, you're talking about complete recklessness. I would never go after anybody for. I think we should be in a ton more wrecks than we are.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's true.

[Jake]

You want to hear a crazy story about some of that cop privilege that we were talking about?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jake]

So. All right, maybe not crazy. It's pretty funny, though. I was a little.

[Nick]

He was actually waiting for me to say.

[Lewis]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Usually people preface. You want to hear crazy story? You were waiting for me to Say, like, I'm gonna go. No, I don't want to hear it.

[Jake]

I mean, dude, you could say no. I don't know how much time we got. What? All right, we'll end it.

[Lewis]

We'll end it on your story.

[Mike]

You got plenty of time to tell a story.

[Jake]

Oh, okay. Well, dude. All right, so before I tell the story, let me tell you about this cigar company real quick. It's called Freaking. It's called, like, Roughneck Cigar Company or like that. They also make this coffee that I'm drinking. The guy that made it, he's never worked in the oil field or anything like that, but he's really cool. He made a badass logo with, like, a skull and a hard hat and, like, that.

[Nick]

People making cigars and coffee don't.

[Lewis]

No, you're not allowed. You're not allowed.

[Tyler]

No.

[Lewis]

Yeah. So people make cigar coffees that don't

[Mike]

do what they say.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jake]

And look, I'm just. I just want to plug them real quick. Rough.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Great.

[Jake]

The product's actually terrible, but the logo is cool, and, like, it's got. You know, it appeals to us. I mean, I don't know what. Actually, I think he owns. He actually owns a bunch of sperm banks. He just buys, sells. I'm not sure what that is.

[Nick]

You're built for the Internet.

[Jake]

He deals in sperm.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Lewis]

Does he put the sperm in coffee cups or not?

[Jake]

I couldn't tell you. I've never asked anyways, though. So we were. I was a little kid, and we were going to a basketball game. My dad had this cop buddy. He worked for the state police, you know, at the time, and his. He had a buddy that he was on some task force with or some like that. And he worked for the sheriff's office. Local to him. And we were in this dude's truck, and it was like, me and that kid. That dude's son were around the same age. And then him and my dad are up front, and this guy. I think his name. We'll just call him from first name Tom. It's a. It's a basketball game. Like, college basketball game. And he's driving around trying to find a good parking spot, and he goes, man, this. And, like, go, like, pulls, like, right next to the stadium where there's, like, some little dude in an orange vest blocking it. And he just pulls up and, like, throws his hands up at the guy, like, let us in. And the guy looks confused and comes up to him, and he. He has this little placard. It's just Like a piece of paper, dude. It's, like, laminated, and it just says police business. And he flashes that up at him. The guy, like, tilts his head and just. And the guy's like, wait, let's go. The dude just opens a little thing.

[G Money]

He drives in.

[Jake]

We park, like, front row. And I like, dude, I was probably 7 or 8, and I was like, man, that seemed kind of fucked up.

[Tyler]

That's.

[Mike]

That's when you learn you want to be a cop.

[Nick]

That it is true.

[Lewis]

Discount.

[Jake]

Because we jump out, and I'm looking at the. The security dude that just had to let us through, and he's staring at us like, what the. Because he sees, like, little kids getting out of the truck. He's like, there's no way.

[Tyler]

I love the fact that you're smoking cigar inside, bro. That's very. That's very. Somebody said you look like a masculine Shia LaBeouf.

[Jake]

I don't know how to feel about that.

[Nick]

I don't know either, because it's masculine. Is good. Shiloh. Busted.

[Tyler]

Train wreck.

[Mike]

But just look.

[Tyler]

And somebody asked if you could tell us what. What state you're in. Texas, I think. You did say,

[Jake]

how tall are you?

[Mike]

Well, Jake, appreciate so much for the support. Appreciate. Coming on. I know you're available. You said, like, every other two weeks or so. So get. Get us some new stories, come up with your next best story. We'll have you back on a week from Friday, maybe.

[Jake]

Yeah.

[Mike]

All right. We appreciate you so much.

[Jake]

If I can.

[Nick]

If you guys watch Armageddon.

[Lewis]

Watch Armageddon. Thank you so. Thank you so much, bro. We appreciate your support, man.

[Nick]

Later, dude.

[Mike]

Good dude, man.

[Tyler]

Yeah. That's what I always want to say, that every time somebody gets off and we just met him, like, good dude.

[Mike]

But, like, he's. He is. He's got the Internet savvy built. He's.

[Nick]

Dude, even if it's not on purpose, off the cuff. He had me first off. I'm just busting balls. Are we not allowed to bust balls anymore?

[Tyler]

I.

[Nick]

We're just busting balls. But he got me with that.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Nick]

That was all scripted.

[Mike]

That was good. Yeah.

[Lewis]

That mustache deserves its own show. I mean.

[Nick]

Oh, I forgot to tell. Somebody said he. We were talking about Mag and PI the other night. He looks like Maggie.

[Lewis]

We were going to. We're going to dinner last night, and the Magna PI theme comes on.

[Mike]

Joanna's like, look, Magna PI.

[Lewis]

Like, it's crazy how all of a

[Mike]

sudden we talk about something and it's everywhere.

[Tyler]

Somebody is it Chief Chief Featherbed or what's his name in Patreon? Is it Magnum PI Is his profile picture. Yes, yes, yes.

[Mike]

All right, that was good.

[Nick]

We got canine.

[Mike]

Canine's ready. Looks like he's ready. Bring him in.

[Lewis]

Hold on. I want to tell a little story. Before, when we took our break, right about five minutes before the break, Lewis

[Mike]

was doing something on his phone. And I brought my phone up like this.

[Lewis]

I brought it down, and Lewis says, not.

[Mike]

I'm not gonna use my phone. Not that I'm gonna.

[Lewis]

Lewis says to me, do you want me to get a camera for myself? So the next time you catch me on my phone, I could switch to the view of me not doing what

[Mike]

I'm supposed to do.

[Lewis]

That's genius.

[Nick]

That is genius. And he's kind of like saying, yo, you want.

[Lewis]

I could do whatever I want.

[Nick]

You want a camera to film me?

[Lewis]

Is that easier Capitalize on my talent of getting on my phone, phone, or do you want to just look like an taking pictures of me getting on my phone?

[Nick]

Why don't you take a picture, Mike?

[Lewis]

Yeah, I was like, damn, dude.

[Mike]

That was pretty good.

[Tyler]

Lewis.

[Mike]

Lewis is superstar.

[Nick]

We had a camera on you, Louis, but you never used it.

[Mike]

Yeah, you never used it.

[Nick]

You never.

[Lewis]

Well, Jimmy sent it back. Finally, it's back.

[Nick]

No, no, no. Not that camera.

[Mike]

We.

[Tyler]

We took. We needed another camera for night shift.

[Mike]

I should have brought the stickers in here. I should have brought the stickers in there.

[Nick]

If you go to Patreon. Is that for all Paid?

[Tyler]

The Patreon.

[Lewis]

If you go to paid Patreon.

[Mike]

We talked about the sticker heist and all that stuff.

[Lewis]

I want.

[Mike]

It's worth. It's worth a five dollar membership.

[Lewis]

I want everybody to go on the Patreon.

[Mike]

Look at the pile of stickers I posted and tell me if I said these are up for grabs, would you take one? Two.

[Lewis]

There's patches.

[Tyler]

Funny story.

[Mike]

It is a funny story. I posted a picture of the stickers that came back.

[Nick]

If it makes anybody feel better, if I did the same thing, Mike would

[Tyler]

still be posting this about me.

[Mike]

We would do.

[Lewis]

Oh, you did about me.

[Mike]

About the camera.

[Lewis]

I broke the camera. And I'm on a cruise with bad Internet trying to defend myself from mad Tyler. So anyway, without further ado, canine sports.

[Canine Sports]

Yo, what's up, OGs?

[Nick]

What's the word?

[Canine Sports]

I just chugged a C4. I feel crazy, dude. I feel geek.

[Nick]

You're not. You're done being sick, right? You were. I could tell you were pretty sick last week.

[Canine Sports]

Yeah, man. I. My ex dropped off my son. He had the flu real bad. So, you know, daddy duties. I took care of the boy. I ended up getting.

[Lewis]

How old are you? 31.

[Mike]

30. 30.

[Canine Sports]

I'm 30. 30.

[Mike]

He's going through the Mike Dilks 30.

[Tyler]

Oh, you drinking?

[Lewis]

Drinking train wreck. This one, that one. How many beers did I have? 3:00am 2:00am he's going, I. I know

[Mike]

where he is right now.

[Lewis]

The workout game is off a little bit. We're not hitting the gym quite as frequently.

[Nick]

Yeah, let's go.

[Lewis]

Mine looks a little bigger. You're in a medium.

[Mike]

I'm in a large.

[Tyler]

But.

[Lewis]

No, but. What's. What's going on in sports?

[Mike]

Talk to me.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

Put your personal life on blast.

[Nick]

Let's go to sports.

[Mike]

Normal life.

[Canine Sports]

Hey, it is what it is. We're podcasters, man. I got nothing to hide. You know, dealing with a dumb. It is what it is. But, yeah, I have been getting. I have been getting down, man. You know, Friday nights have been wild, you know, ubering back home.

[Tyler]

Home, you know, it is Ubering, right?

[Nick]

That and you deserve. Here's the thing. I made the.

[Tyler]

Before sports, I was a single dad for a very long time. Me and my son's mom split. We were never married. When he was like, less than 1 years old and we had him every other weekend, I became a cop. I worked every other weekend, so it worked out okay. On the weekends, I'm off.

[Nick]

I pretty much all of my days off as a cop because I work

[Tyler]

15 calendar days a month.

[Nick]

Scheduled all the days I was off,

[Tyler]

I had my son.

[Nick]

Then you run into the problem where

[Tyler]

you have no time for yourself. You're either working or you're being a parent. There's no.

[Nick]

And I. And I moved away from home.

[Tyler]

I was in Florida. I had no family here. I had no babysitters, no nothing.

[Nick]

That is something I wouldn't take.

[Tyler]

I wouldn't change what happened.

[Nick]

But that is definitely something to keep in mind that you do need to

[Tyler]

have time for yourself. You do need to have nights out for yourself. Just like if you were married, it wouldn't be all the time, but you'd

[Nick]

be like, hey, babe, I'm going to

[Tyler]

join the boys for a little bit. You know, you need that. And when you're. When you're not married and you're split and you're trying to be the best dad you can. Because dad guilt is a thing.

[Nick]

Single dad guilt is a thing.

[Tyler]

I suffer from it. Every dad suffers from it. We don't think we do Enough for our kids. Especially when we destroy the family dynamic and we're trying to make best of what was out of our hands. It's just make time for yourself, everybody.

[Mike]

I did the same thing. I intentionally induced a situation where I could not go out for almost three years. That was when I went through alcoholism and all that stuff. I was like, I am going to trance to a shift. But eventually, yes, you come out of that. You're like, I need some time. But I. We've all gone through it, so it

[Jake]

is what it is.

[Nick]

Yeah, yeah. I'm a straight white male.

[Lewis]

Suck it up, dude.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Canine Sports]

I mean, right now I'm just trying to build a roster. You know, I got a little decent roster going on right now and I think the main thing I gotta do is I just.

[Nick]

Oh, I thought you're talking about like fantasy sports. No, no, no.

[Canine Sports]

I got me a little roster going on right now. I bought a pack of condoms like three months ago and I haven't used one yet. And I need to. I need to tighten up. I don't need any more jitterbugs running around.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Here. I challenge you to do the ultimate thing.

[Tyler]

I think sometimes we fill voids with vices.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Alcohol.

[Mike]

Marry a 20 year old girl. I did.

[Tyler]

Women gambling.

[Mike]

Just named everything

[Lewis]

you were supposed to stop. I still do all that.

[Mike]

What are you talking about?

[Lewis]

I just have one woman.

[Nick]

I challenge you to fill the voids with yourself, with Jesus and with being

[Tyler]

constructive and staying off dating apps.

[Nick]

I'm not saying if you meet a nice lady at the farmer's market or your friend has a. Hey, man, my wife's got a good friend. I think that's actual dating. Like, hey, it this person's been verified, whether it be a non crazy. You didn't meet her at the strip club. You met her at a farmer's market. Or your buddy's wife goes, hey, verify it. I've known her for 20 years. She's not nuts. Like, all right, that's okay to date,

[Tyler]

but guys jump on that farmer, those

[Nick]

dating apps, like right then and there,

[Tyler]

like, I gotta fill the void.

[Mike]

And that girl from the farmers marketing setting a.

[Nick]

Setting a pumpkin patch, like in superbad pumpkin patch. Something that's a very neutral setting that's not full of sin, like a club

[Tyler]

or bar or a casino.

[Mike]

Riverside, I never met. I don't mean anybody in the casino. I'm too busy gambling.

[Nick]

He's got him and the devil locked in.

[Lewis]

Locked in, locked in. So what's going on in sports?

[Jake]

All right.

[Canine Sports]

Yeah. Let's talk sports. Tonight, the national championship in college basketball. You have UConn going up against Michigan. UConn is an underdog by six and a half points. I think it starts around nine o' clock tonight. So that's, that's a pretty big game. You know, winner wins the championship. Should be a really good game, man. Our boy Dan Hurley brought his team back to the championship. If he wins it, this would be his third championship. I would, I think, in the past five years or four years, actually. So this is pretty big.

[Tyler]

He's.

[Canine Sports]

He's a. He might be on goat status, man, when it comes to coaching college basketball.

[Lewis]

Ref headbutt, huh?

[Tyler]

Oh, man.

[Canine Sports]

He said he couldn't hear the ref. That was his excuse. He just couldn't hear him. He just wanted to make sure he

[Tyler]

could hear him like that. That. Man, it was last. It was last season. But when that player spit on that other player, he's like, nah, I didn't do that.

[Nick]

And then the video footage came out

[Mike]

of him just going, yeah, that was the Eagles. The Eagles. Who the Was the other guy?

[Nick]

I thought it was the Steelers, but.

[Tyler]

Is it the Eagles?

[Lewis]

No, it was.

[Canine Sports]

Oh, Jalen Carter on the Eagles.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lewis]

Got spit on first.

[Canine Sports]

Yeah, it was the first game of the year. Well, Jack Prescott spit on the ground and he was. He was trying to.

[Lewis]

Yeah, there was a second one.

[Canine Sports]

Yeah, the Florida Gators guy.

[Nick]

No, he's in the locker room and

[Tyler]

they're like, did you spit? And he's like, nah, I didn't spit.

[Mike]

Yeah, it was a Steelers game and

[Nick]

the footage comes out like 12 hours

[Tyler]

later of him spitting on the player.

[G Money]

So

[Canine Sports]

you're talking about Jamar Chase?

[Nick]

No, it was actually John Tavius.

[Mike]

It was the Bengals, not the Steeler. It was Jamar Chase.

[Tyler]

It's just more of a. Well, well, well, well, well. It was.

[Mike]

I believe we got breaking news. Angel Reese was traded. Not that anybody follows the NBA.

[Nick]

HE laughs.

[Mike]

That's true. I mean, they're crazy.

[Canine Sports]

Hey, I like Angel Reese. I think she's hot. I've always been a child.

[Lewis]

She's the one that, like, went out

[Mike]

with Caitlyn Clark, right?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jake]

Yeah.

[Canine Sports]

I have a thing for black women, so I. I've always thought she was attractive.

[Mike]

Right.

[Nick]

We're going all in off the rails right now, bro.

[Lewis]

Fortunately for you that we have zero followers or watchers, so you're out of luck there. I don't think you're gonna. I don't think. Yeah, I don't think you're gonna hit the Jackpot on that one.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Canine Sports]

Hey, you told me to come on with energy, man.

[Nick]

I love it, dude. This is relatable material to us, our audience.

[Tyler]

Yeah, man.

[Mike]

This is it.

[Tyler]

You know, this is good stuff.

[Nick]

I. I noticed that you do have a little it. I don't want to.

[Tyler]

I don't want to sound disrespectful to anybody, but do you have a couple groupies that watch sports with canines that might not be into sports, or are they actually females that are into sports?

[Mike]

It's roster.

[Lewis]

The roster, baby.

[Canine Sports]

It's part of the roster. I'll be honest with you.

[Tyler]

It is.

[Canine Sports]

We've had actually some beef with that, you know, behind the scenes, you know, girls messaging me. Who is this? Who's that? Yeah, I mean, hey, that's one of the Internet happens.

[Mike]

I don't know anybody.

[Lewis]

I don't even answer dms. I don't know what you're talking about.

[Nick]

To go on this podcast. Don't talk about it.

[Canine Sports]

How did you hear about this, Tyler? Now I'm interested. Did you just.

[Nick]

I didn't. I just watched your show.

[Lewis]

We watched the show and there's a.

[Mike]

There's a couple chicks in there. I noticed that.

[Canine Sports]

Yeah. I'll have my boys messaging me. They're like, bro, what's going on? You have, like, different girl on there every week.

[Lewis]

Girls are super chatting, my man. Dude, hey, make that money, man.

[Mike]

Anybody can.

[Tyler]

My God.

[Canine Sports]

Hey, I'm living it up, man. I'm living it up. I'm single for the first time in 11 years, and I was depressed at first, and then I. My boy, you know, my boy, we've been boys since we were kids. He's like, bro, get a roster. Do your thing. Go out, have a good time. It'll help. He's like, you get some new in your life. It helps out a lot. And it does.

[Tyler]

Let me see that hand tattoo.

[Canine Sports]

Which one? The one I got a Bible, and then I got the Spartan. So you could either get hit with a Spartan or hit with a Bible.

[Tyler]

Well, you gotta. They got the Holy Bible on your hand, and you're talking about having a roster canon.

[Mike]

I mean, you don't find a wife the first one you meet.

[Nick]

I'm saying, go to the Farmer's market. Hey, you let God put this woman

[Tyler]

in front of you.

[Nick]

You give it to God.

[Tyler]

Like we always say, you got to give it to God.

[Canine Sports]

I know, I know.

[Mike]

It goes down the dms, man.

[Canine Sports]

Well, Greek Easter's this Sunday coming up, so. Yeah, maybe I'll tighten up by then,

[Lewis]

give me a week.

[Nick]

And then Flag Day and then maybe President's Day.

[Lewis]

By then, July is almost right around the corner.

[Nick]

I mean, by Labor Day, I'll be scoring.

[Lewis]

UFC 250s, right? Coming right up.

[Jake]

We'll.

[Mike]

We'll have you.

[Lewis]

Are you bringing anybody from the roster to Easter?

[Canine Sports]

No, no, no, no. We're not on.

[Mike]

We're not on public status yet, right?

[Canine Sports]

I don't think so, man.

[Tyler]

All right, Michael, Be in there.

[Nick]

Easter dinner on Patreon for Patreon only.

[Lewis]

Canines, hide your wallets. Canine's girlfriend's here. Hide your. Hide your jewelry.

[Nick]

Hey, dude, Come on, bro. It's too soon.

[Canine Sports]

It's too soon for that, man. That one hurts.

[Mike]

All right.

[Lewis]

All right.

[Canine Sports]

That one hurts. Oh. Back to sports. For those that did not see. For those that did not see. This was the first time, I think, in MLB history this ever happened. And this was actually really crazy. And a lot of people didn't even know this happened. So it was Saturday night, the Angels were playing the Mariners. There's a guy named Joe Adele. He plays right field for the Angels. Now, for anybody that watches baseball, you know how hard it is to rob a home run. So, Tyler, I know you're not too into baseball, but, you know, a guy goes up, he hits the ball and it's about to be a home run, and the outfielder can go up and jump and catch it and jump over the wall and he can rob a home run. This guy did it three times in one game. First time in MLB history. And of course, my luck, I bet on the Mariners.

[Mike]

He bet. Ended up in the stands. On the last one.

[Canine Sports]

Yeah, on the last one in the ninth inning, he ended up in the stands. He caught it and landed on one of the fans laps.

[Tyler]

It was crazy.

[Lewis]

I've got.

[Mike]

I've got breaking sports news that's unfortunate for Giants fans. Oh, boy. ESPN sources state that Giants all pro defensive tackle tackle Destor Lawrence has requested a trade and he will not be participating in the team's off season workout program that still starts Tuesday. Lawrence and the Giants have been through two off seasons attempting to negotiate contracts. We'd like to think his value over the last few years, but there has not been any progress. So that's their best defensive player. He was a. A Pro Bowler two years ago. He will not be reporting to camp. It's always something that the Giants up.

[Canine Sports]

Yeah. Typical Giants type news. Yeah, he is a great defensive tackle, too. That's. That's tough.

[Mike]

Well, it's good. He's saying this before the draft because they can probably get some picks for him if they decide to move them. I'm surprised with a new coaching staff coming in and everything going on, but. All right, where can we find you today?

[Canine Sports]

Tonight, 7pm Eastern. Counterculture Sports. Be there. It's the best sports show on YouTube. We're live. You can comment whatever the hell you want. And it gets wild. You know, we talk sports, but I'll talk about the roster. You'll see the comments. You'll see some women arguing on there.

[Tyler]

Tonight.

[Mike]

I'm coming to stir the pot. Yeah, I'll be there.

[Nick]

Hey, who's this? Yeah, hey, did you know about so and so? I'm just gonna. I'm gonna super chat to 20 bucks to say, hey, man, how's Monica? Is that the girl you with? Monica?

[Lewis]

That's not the girl you brought to my mom's house last night.

[Nick]

In fact, if the 99 were to flood your comments with asking you about

[Tyler]

how women are, would that ruin your show?

[Lewis]

99 centers. It's on you. 7:00pm Counterculture sports. Hey. Hey, babe. This is all for entertainment purposes. Is there a lot?

[Nick]

All of them are.

[Canine Sports]

Allegedly. Allegedly.

[Lewis]

All right, big dog. We appreciate it, man.

[Mike]

Thank you so much. Make sure you bring condoms everywhere.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

We'll see you tonight at 7pm we'll all be there to show support for canine and his roster. Peace.

[Nick]

Later, bud.

[Mike]

Hit it, Louis. But there he goes. Well, that's interesting. Canine, for those that don't know he's a relative. So I could really get him good.

[Nick]

Really?

[Mike]

Yeah. I can get him on Patreon. I can get him at the house. We do have Greek Easter coming up this Sunday.

[Tyler]

You guys celebrate that?

[Mike]

My whole I'm Greek, large Greek family. Like, I talked to my relatives in Greece, dude.

[Nick]

I'm not gonna lie, man. I see a new dilks pop up in my Facebook.

[Tyler]

Like every day.

[Nick]

It's a totally different dilks.

[Lewis]

There's not that many, bro.

[Nick]

There's a million of them.

[Mike]

They're not related to me.

[Nick]

Then they're a mutual friend. Is you.

[Mike]

There's no. There's not that many. My one daughter is completely gone Time.

[Tyler]

I mean, maybe that's because I have

[Mike]

the care Constantis side. Like, that's my Greek side of my family.

[Tyler]

What's the last name?

[Mike]

Karen Stantis. That's my mom's maiden name. Karen K A R C O N S T A N T I S Kara Constantis.

[Lewis]

You remember when you're a kid, what

[Mike]

was the question they always ask you? In school, you had to validate your mom's maiden name.

[Tyler]

They did?

[Mike]

Yeah. Back when I was a kid, everything was your mom's maiden name. Like, you had questions. What's your mom's, man?

[Tyler]

Went down on, like, verification.

[Mike]

Yeah, Yeah, I had to spell that out. Para Constantis. Most Greeks came over and changed it to Charis when they came to Ellis island, and they just left off the end part. So you'll see a lot of Greeks, last name K, A, R, I, S. They left off the rest of it, but my family didn't, so that's my mom's maiden name.

[Tyler]

All right, so bring them when we.

[Nick]

We're bringing G money back on. He had a.

[Tyler]

An idea for me that I totally forgot to message back to him. He's. He's drinking out of his Gatorade bottle.

[Mike]

You bring him in, Louis.

[Tyler]

I got him. Oh, there you go. Me and Lewis both doing it. Nick, you there?

[Mike]

Yep.

[Tyler]

Do you remember Friday? The idea that you shot me that you thought the 99 could help you out with?

[G Money]

No, I don't.

[Nick]

Oh, honestly. Well, then never mind.

[Mike]

He fires a lot of ideas.

[Tyler]

He does. You're.

[Nick]

You're. Hey, if you fire 10 ideas and one of them's good, it's a good idea. What was it you wanted people to help you swipe?

[Canine]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude, I think that'd be fun.

[Nick]

And I'm con. I'm conflicted because I.

[Tyler]

As much as I joke and stuff, I do think Tinder is bad for dudes. I think it's bad.

[Mike]

That's real bad.

[Tyler]

It's bad.

[Nick]

You're feeling a boy, dude. You should be focusing on yourself.

[Lewis]

They see, they.

[Mike]

They upgrade to, like, Bumblebee, and it.

[Tyler]

It's, like, different.

[Mike]

It's different.

[Nick]

Oh, because they messaged me first.

[Lewis]

It's Bumble. It's not.

[Mike]

Why is it different? Well, it's Bumble. It's not Tinder. It's Bumble.

[Canine]

Bumble seems to have anymore.

[Lewis]

That's right. It's not just a jiggle joint. It actually has Old state.

[Nick]

I'm telling you. What, dude. If dudes could take over, dudes could take over the world and set masculinity straight again.

[Tyler]

If they all dudes got together and got off dating apps, that women would have to go back to regular dating.

[Mike]

No, the big one is the other one. Only fans.

[G Money]

Only fans.

[Tyler]

They gotta shut that.

[Mike]

They gotta shut that down.

[Nick]

You wanna.

[Lewis]

You can't. They already had the power.

[Mike]

Yeah, in the. In. In all of it.

[G Money]

And then you gave them fat Girls thinking they're tense.

[Mike]

It's ridiculous.

[Canine]

Dude, I only want to do six

[G Money]

foot with washboard abs. That makes 200, 000 a year. Well, you're £300.

[Mike]

It's unreal.

[G Money]

You ain't getting that.

[Mike]

People are paying for it.

[Tyler]

Dude, I cannot believe dudes pay money.

[Mike]

It doesn't make sense to me.

[Nick]

I mean, before I insult you, do you pay? Really?

[Mike]

Okay, no. Okay.

[G Money]

No, I said pornhub's free.

[Tyler]

Oh,

[Nick]

well, you shouldn't look at porn either, Nick.

[Canine]

I don't.

[G Money]

I try not to.

[Tyler]

It's free.

[Nick]

Try not to, but it's free.

[Mike]

Doesn't cost anything.

[Nick]

What I never do is I never.

[Tyler]

I. I try not to lecture people too much. I don't like luxury people. I. I always find out. I always find my own way through my own strength.

[Nick]

But I do look at people sometimes

[Tyler]

go, man, if he could do it, I could do it. You know?

[Nick]

So I challenge you guys.

[Tyler]

Get off porn.

[Nick]

Obviously, I don't think anybody here is

[Tyler]

subscribing to only fans. That's.

[Mike]

I don't understand.

[Lewis]

It's even worse.

[Mike]

It's like I said, the AI you'll see an AI and a thousand dudes in there like, sweetie, you're so hot. And I'm like, what world are these?

[Nick]

Oh, the dudes that comment pictures.

[Tyler]

Yeah, and they're fake, even if they're not fake, bro.

[Mike]

It's genius, though. It's genius, man.

[Tyler]

You just.

[Mike]

It's genius. It's genius, man. It's the devil's ultimate extension, but it's genius.

[G Money]

Is she fake, though? Is it really fake if they're getting what they want?

[Mike]

They're generated images, not a real person.

[G Money]

I know, but to the.

[Nick]

Nick's like, hey, man, the guys are

[Tyler]

getting what they want.

[Mike]

People are getting so.

[Nick]

It's like being a hospice. Are you really alive?

[Mike]

Some dude's making millions, man. Off AI generated images, dude.

[Nick]

I saw this one skit.

[Mike]

It was a.

[Nick]

It was a comedian doing a reel,

[Tyler]

and he did a whole skit on.

[Nick]

Hey, my name's Vance, and I'm the

[Tyler]

guy who actually reads your only fans messages. And he's like.

[Nick]

He's having to. He's like, I'm not gay, but I have to type this stuff out because obviously we tell you all the time. We don't. We don't. We're not that big at all. And there's no way we could keep

[Tyler]

up with the messages.

[Nick]

You're talking like girls with only fans that guys think they're actually getting.

[Tyler]

Messages from them.

[Mike]

That's where it's a genius. You take the only fan, you take the AI generated image. No woman is going to talk to a man like a man wants to be talked to because they're not nasty enough. They're not nasty enough.

[Lewis]

So you get a man that's generated

[Mike]

the images and then respond. It's like anything else. You know exactly the right way how to do it. It's genius, dude, but it's. It's the ultimate devil, dude. It absolutely is. I drove by a strip club yesterday, was closed on Easter. I was surprised. What's the economy coming to?

[Tyler]

Maybe it was hilarious. Maybe they're trying to be.

[Lewis]

We found it.

[Mike]

We found this Cuban restaurant we love down. It's like 25 minute drive. So we're driving and it's like, Joanna's perplexed that all these business are closed.

[Nick]

She's like, it was weird public.

[Mike]

She's like that. She's like, this Mexican restaurant's closed.

[Lewis]

And then right across the street from

[Mike]

there in Port St Lucie is a disgusting strip. She looks over, she goes, body talks, clothes. I'm like, bro, what's the world coming to? 3 o' clock on 4 o' clock

[Lewis]

on Easter, you can't walk it. I thought it was 365, man, like every day.

[Tyler]

Like the casino, Chinese food restaurant.

[Lewis]

Yeah. The buffet was. I swear to God, the next box was the golden noodle buffet. That was packed. But I was like, what is the

[Mike]

world coming to Christ, when body talk is closed, dude. Like, what are they doing?

[Lewis]

Were they at home with Easter?

[Tyler]

Hey, man, they're.

[Nick]

They're trying to get their Christian beliefs back.

[Lewis]

My Nick's got somewhere to go eat, man.

[Nick]

The strip club owners, like, hey, Chick fil a is honorable for closing on Sundays.

[Tyler]

We're going to close on Easter.

[Mike]

I couldn't believe it.

[G Money]

They opened, dude. They just opened late.

[Mike]

I thought maybe they opened late, right? Eight, nine. Like a late opening? Yeah. Poker room was open.

[Lewis]

Poker room was open, buddy. Full, full house.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, well, degenerate gamblers, man. Can't get them out.

[Tyler]

But never heard of a poker room closing.

[Mike]

No, casino never closes, dude. World War III outside. That motherfucker's dealing cards, man.

[Tyler]

I got something for you guys. Oh, well, we never covered it, so I'm gonna go.

[Mike]

You see how bad my sheet turns into by the end of the episode?

[Tyler]

Yeah, mine's the same way.

[Mike]

Thought I was just the only one.

[G Money]

Do you actually write down like I see you guys writing sometimes when I talk, I'm like, is he writing down, taking notes?

[Mike]

I'm like, I'm drawing. There's a son.

[Lewis]

That's your thing.

[Nick]

That's what you're talking.

[Mike]

When you're talking, I'm like this. I'm drawing circles and. But no, for the most part, I'm taking notes.

[Nick]

All right, do you guys remember?

[G Money]

Tyler writes down. Yep.

[Canine Sports]

All right.

[G Money]

Say something of I'll see him.

[Canine]

Right?

[Lewis]

Actually, he does this crazy thing, which

[Mike]

is called, like, reels and marketing and social media.

[Lewis]

So he actually writes down the time

[Mike]

stamp to go back and make. I don't know.

[Lewis]

That doesn't make sense to me.

[Tyler]

Like, I wrote intelligence because I wanted to talk about the intelligence. When we were talking about Iran, I said, how many Iranians died, as you said? As Mike looked it up and said it was 1500.

[Nick]

Iran.

[Tyler]

Iranians. Not Iranians.

[Mike]

I got the. I got the line for the game tonight.

[Lewis]

I got Michigan minus six and a

[Mike]

half for the line. I got Patreon. I got a Nick's picture under there with that big scribble line where I drew him. I drew a picture of them, and I'm throwing darts at it in my head. No, I'm just kidding.

[Nick]

All right, so this happened. You guys remember when this happened? Blackhawks did a flyby on Kid.

[Mike]

I saw this. And they got suspended. Unsuspended or something.

[Tyler]

They got suspended, Suspended. And then Trump was interviewed by it, and he goes, I mean, should they have done it?

[G Money]

Probably not.

[Tyler]

Look, Kid Rock's a great American, and I guess. Pete. Headset. I can't say that guy's name. Pete Hegseth. There you go. Thank you.

[Nick]

Kid Rock. He gets it.

[Tyler]

U.S. army pilot suspended. Suspension lifted. No punishment, no investigation. Carry on, patriots.

[Nick]

So this right here, Pete Hegson said,

[Tyler]

thanking Kid Rock for the bigger picture.

[Nick]

Kid Rock is acknowled.

[Tyler]

You need people like Kid Rock out there.

[Nick]

If you start losing the Kid Rocks, you start losing just overall as your.

[Tyler]

As the red, As a. As a conservative side. You can't lose your Kid Rocks, which

[Nick]

means you got to let the army guys off who fly by a Kid Rocks house. Much like I talk about when a cop pulls over Kid Rock for a dui, right? Cops are all like, we need the public support. We need the public support. Dumbass, stupid cop is gonna go, right. Kid Rock a dui. You got people like Vince Vaughn who are openly, publicly supporters of law enforcement. And you're gonna write Vince Vaughn a DUI when you can let Vince Vaughn go and go get another DUI in 15 minutes. No you're gonna take Vince Vaughn out of Duke dui. And that's why people don't like cops. Change my mind,

[G Money]

dude. I had a dick bag that worked for Philly. I won't say his name because he died still a. He wrote Joe Frazier. He. He got dui. He gave Joe Frazier dui. The boxer, dude. One of Philly's best boxers. He's the real Rocky of Philadelphia.

[Nick]

Okay.

[G Money]

Yeah, dude. So up.

[Canine]

And he's a big supporter of police.

[Mike]

If you love America, you can drive drunk.

[Tyler]

No, clearly, you can't, because we got cops out here that will write.

[Nick]

But I'm just saying, would you. If you pulled over and you were. And let's say you did you guys. Because you're not a DUI guy.

[Tyler]

You've done them.

[Nick]

That's not your thing. You're a DUI cop. Obviously, the way government works is that if your guy goes to you and goes, hey, man, should I write Kid Rocket dy? As a supervisor? You cannot go. No, dude, it's Kid Rock. You gotta go. You got to do what you got

[Tyler]

to do in your head.

[Nick]

You're like.

[Tyler]

You're a. If you write Kid Rock dui.

[Nick]

But that being said, would you have

[Tyler]

written Kid Rocket dui? No, because it's me personally.

[Lewis]

No. Yeah, but it's the wrong thing to do.

[Nick]

But you.

[Lewis]

It's the wrong thing to do.

[Canine]

You have discretion.

[Mike]

But if I can. I can debate this all day.

[Lewis]

What if he killed.

[Mike]

You know, there's always.

[Canine]

He could kill someone. Then he's getting locked the up.

[Nick]

Tiger Woods.

[Canine]

No, because he hit the body.

[Nick]

I was like, I gotta make this out, right? Yeah.

[Lewis]

Come on, let me hear it.

[Nick]

Tiger Wood.

[Lewis]

I would let Tiger woods go.

[Nick]

See, Really?

[Mike]

I wouldn't have arrested.

[Nick]

Is he like a pro?

[Mike]

American Gospel Trump at.

[Nick]

He goes. I just got off the phone with the president.

[Lewis]

Yeah, he hung up with the president at the.

[Tyler]

See

[Mike]

on the phone with the president.

[G Money]

Yo, I got a story for you. I can't.

[Lewis]

Are you taking Tiger Woods?

[G Money]

Yeah, I'm letting Tiger woods off.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Tyler]

I think I am, too.

[Nick]

However, hold on. When you roll your car, it's a little bit different.

[Canine]

Not even that.

[Nick]

It's.

[Canine]

He hit somebody.

[G Money]

Prior. If he didn't hit someone.

[Lewis]

It was in the subdivision.

[Mike]

He grazed them.

[G Money]

All right, so listen, I got a good one for you. I get a phone call two in the morning, laying next to a hottie. Too really hot. I didn't. I didn't answer my phone. I don't know the number. So after the fourth Time it rang. I answered. What's up? He goes, dude, cops. Car crash.

[Canine]

You need to get over to the

[G Money]

house where I used to live. I won't mention. He mentioned some names. So I get over here. It looks like a war zone, dude. There's a overturned Porsche in the middle of the road. There's a minivan crash up a hill into a house. A couple other cars all crash. It's. It's a friend of mine who's driving and a friend who's a passenger. All up, dude. I open up the back of the. The back of paramedic. He's got blood pouring everywhere. Like, what happened? They're drunk, allegedly. And he wanted to open up the Porsche, and he opened it up. He banged off a couple cars. He hit a minivan so hard, it crashed up a hill into a house, and the Porsche was overturned. So I said, all right. And then, you know, talk to the cop. What's going on here? And she goes, nothing. I'm just writing up an accident report and going back to the station. I'm like, okay, cool.

[Canine]

Thank you.

[G Money]

So it happens. Discretion.

[Mike]

Discretion.

[Nick]

But why did she choose to do that? Because you asked.

[G Money]

I. I listen. I got.

[Nick]

Yeah, it sounds like you're sorry. She had already made up her mind that she wasn't.

[Mike]

That's how he's trying to make it sound.

[Lewis]

When people say.

[Mike]

When people say they can't trust cops, does that not lend to their credibility?

[Canine]

That.

[Mike]

That's John Q. Citizen. He's going to jail.

[Tyler]

Well, you should have gotten maybe brotherhood.

[G Money]

Yeah. Should have lived with a cop.

[Mike]

You should have joined the most armed militia in America. The gang. The law enforcement guy. You can get away with me.

[Tyler]

This guy bases his entire business model off cops.

[Mike]

Accountability. Accountability. I'm just saying, that dude bangs into your kid, you're gonna be like, hey, he's a cop.

[Tyler]

We've talked about that.

[Canine]

They were all.

[G Money]

They were all unattended vehicles. They were all.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

What about the minivan? Who's.

[Lewis]

Probably the first time he ever drove drunk, too.

[Mike]

I'm sure it was.

[G Money]

Nobody's gonna move in. I don't know if you.

[Canine]

Property.

[Nick]

Property, yeah. Insurance covers it.

[Tyler]

No point in ruining somebody's life. Yeah, that's.

[Mike]

We're good. All good.

[Nick]

Nobody was hurt.

[Mike]

Nobody.

[G Money]

I was. I was in my cop car one time, and a dude, same thing. I'm in a stop sign, and he takes it doesn't take off, but he starts to drive forward, and he hits, like, four cars. Car turns on its side. I'm like, what the. There's too many people out for me to drive away, so I gotta get out and handle it. And as I walk up there, I'm like, all right.

[Nick]

I love the fact that that would

[Lewis]

have been an option.

[G Money]

I contemplated it because I think it was close to me getting off of work too. And I'm like, all right, maybe this guy had a medical episode or some like that. Of course, he opens up the door. It wasn't overturned. He opened up the door and like a bottle of vodka falls out. The entire neighborhood's out. So I had to lock him up for dui. That sucked.

[Mike]

I mean, we've all let people go. I'm not gonna say I'm just playing devil's app.

[Tyler]

My law enforcement career, baby. I've never arrested somebody for dui and I've never narcaned anybody.

[Mike]

Almost

[Tyler]

Darwinism.

[Lewis]

Dy.

[Mike]

I did one very early in my career, and she blew over the limit. And the jury found her not guilty. And I was like, this is a fraud here. This is a fraud.

[Lewis]

Like, DUI is a scam.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Lewis]

The rest is a scam. The attorney, you pay a ten thousand dollar, there's one reckless, and you're done.

[Mike]

So that happened. I. I mean, I. I remember I had an old vet, he hit like a tree on a quiet road by himself. And I'm like, look, dude, like, sit right there and don't say a word.

[Lewis]

Call it in as a deal.

[Canine Sports]

Disabled.

[Lewis]

Disabled vehicle gets there.

[Mike]

The ambulance comes.

[Lewis]

First words out of his mouth. I've had about seven martinis.

[Mike]

I'm like, shut the.

[Lewis]

Sit back down.

[Mike]

Like, sit down.

[Tyler]

That free body game.

[Mike]

Yes. I'm like, he's good. He's a little. Little head injury. Like, just make sure he's okay. So we've all done it, but I mean, yeah, so it's okay till it isn't.

[G Money]

Ace later says, I had a cop tell me he was gay and could help me out. I took the dui. So I got a good story about this one too. I'm walking up. We just had our. We've moved into, like, our new police building. It was kind of high tech for the time. It was like 2002 or three. And they had cell rooms up, up at the detectives. Detectives were upstairs from us, our division detectives. And they're little individual holding rooms. And I'm walking by and then one

[Canine]

dude's like, yo, yo, yo.

[G Money]

So I go in there and it's just like, you know, blacked out. You know, this black, like, out dude.

[Canine]

He's like, yo, man, you need to get me the out here.

[G Money]

I'm like, what's up?

[Canine]

He goes, that detective just blew me and jerked me off. He goes, there's my load on the floor. I'm like, God, dude, you just spit there. Are you talking.

[G Money]

Come on, man. So I go tell my partner, laugh about.

[Canine]

And detective he's talking about. Cool.

[G Money]

Everyone loved this guy. Well, about five years later, he got arrested for jerking off and blowing prisoners and all kinds of.

[Nick]

What though?

[Canine]

Yeah. What dude was telling me the truth is he handcuffed?

[Jake]

Like, stop.

[G Money]

Oh, yeah, he got locked up.

[Canine]

He got locked up.

[Nick]

The dude. The prisoner in the cell, Was he handcuffed?

[G Money]

Oh, he was handcuffed.

[Tyler]

Dude, that's like rape.

[Canine]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. I. I thought he was.

[G Money]

I'm like, come on, dude, shut the up.

[Canine]

Look at my load, right? I'm like, dude, you just spit that.

[G Money]

Dude, get the out of here.

[Canine]

I walk laughing, telling my body. I said, yo, you should hear what

[G Money]

this guy just told me.

[Canine]

Ed Nordo was jerking them off and

[G Money]

blowing them in the cell room.

[Canine]

Well, that he was.

[Nick]

That's like that Star wars meme where they're like. He just told me that he jerks him off, but he's like, he's joking, right? Right, Right.

[Lewis]

No, bro, I blew him.

[G Money]

Yeah. This cop. I mean, rightfully so. Everyone loved this guy too. Nordo was like. Everyone loved talking to him. Cool, funny.

[Canine]

He showed up the scenes.

[G Money]

Everyone loved bullshitting with them.

[Canine]

Great detective.

[G Money]

Well, now we know why he got confessions and. But yeah, I mean, he's doing. He's gonna do jail time, too.

[Nick]

Precision with purpose.

[Tyler]

Five bucks says body cam footage is public information. It would get the cop fire that the public would lose their minds. The days of discretion are over.

[Nick]

I agree. It makes it a lot harder. I have let. I had body worn cameras every time

[Tyler]

I didn't write a dui. And my way of doing as I knew I had to articulate on that camera that there's no, like, I couldn't show any signs of them being impaired.

[Nick]

Maybe I just never had anybody that.

[Tyler]

That was that bad. But when you do and you let them go and like Mike said, they

[Nick]

crash into somebody else, you're gonna be

[Tyler]

on the hook whether or not you

[Nick]

stay on the hook legally or through at your job. But you. They are going to want to chop heads, and your head's going to be on the chop.

[Lewis]

I was talking about.

[Canine]

That's why you don't let them drive. When you let them go, you drive them home.

[G Money]

You Put them on or the bus.

[Mike]

Yeah, we had a guy, he still works there. He's a. And we show up late to the call. He's like, getting the guy back in the car to leave. Never had any contact with him. He's annihilated the dude. Lets him go. He literally drives 35 seconds down the road and t bones a car. And then we get another DUI call, go. And he's hammered. And of course, the guy who's a didn't get yelled at. Me and my buddy got yelled at for being the competent ones on scene, but we never spoke to him.

[Jake]

Him?

[Lewis]

Yeah, I never saw him.

[Mike]

I just saw him getting back in the car. And I'm like, what's going on? And dude's like, oh, he's fine. I'm like, okay. So we get in our car, we drive away, and like, 45 seconds later, here comes a call with the same car. T. And then, of course, I'm getting screamed at.

[Lewis]

Why the did you let this guy?

[Mike]

I was like, I didn't get. I didn't. I didn't see him.

[Tyler]

But that's the thing.

[Lewis]

If you are going to use discretion

[Mike]

on dui, which it's a misdemeanor. I mean, I can't argue with.

[Lewis]

There's discretion.

[Mike]

You have to make sure they. They get taken back to the house or a ride. You can't let them drive away.

[Tyler]

So, whoops. Unless their car is totally demolished in an accident, then they can't drive. Then you're good.

[Mike]

Yeah. I think the first time I ever saw my wife, it was a guy who. I say this a lot. He drove his car. He kind of got a little too close to the edge. I think he was parking.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And he drove his car.

[Lewis]

He drove his car into a canal,

[Mike]

but it was in the dirt road area of town where there's not much going on. And I remember she pulled up, she was a trainee on FTO with another guy. And I'm like, I'm good. I got this way before that. I don't even know she was there.

[Lewis]

And I'm like, hey, you're good.

[Mike]

And I was like, it's just a D or dav. I remember her asked me like, how's that a dav? I'm like, it's disabled vehicle.

[Lewis]

She's like, it didn't fall in the canal by itself.

[Mike]

I'm like, yeah, it's debatable. I didn't see anybody in the car. When I got here, it was upside down in the canal. So he got a ride home.

[Lewis]

Nice.

[Mike]

Happens happens, right? Saw him yesterday. Did he?

[Tyler]

Thank you?

[Lewis]

No, it's been years.

[Mike]

But he told me he came back from the casino. He got murked by those slot machines.

[Nick]
