00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.560
Steve, what are you doing wheat sales and retirement?

7
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.039
No, and I'm not doing And it's just one scrotum

8
00:00:59.119 --> 00:00:59.880
unless you have another.

9
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:06.560

00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:27.959
one we get kicked off.

15
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:33.480
The No, no, don't, don't, don't say that, Josh, Rachel.

16
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.359
I do want to thank you. You sent us a

17
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:38.040
Lewisville PD patch, then today you showed up with a

18
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.760
Louisville Police Department coin. I know that's hard to see

19
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.640
if you're watching the show on YouTube, but much appreciated.

20
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.040
Thank you, even harder if you're listening on podcasts.

21
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.280
If you can see this while listening to the audio,

22
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.280
only use your imagination.

23
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.120
Yeah, we have a new coin coming as well, so

24
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:58.599
I'll see if I can get my hands on one

25
00:01:58.640 --> 00:01:58.959
of those.

26
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.159
Awesome. Now, Josh, good to have you back.

27
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:02.719
Thank you.

28
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.920
Haven't seen you in a while, so we sent out

29
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.840
a search party. Yeah.

30
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.120
Man, retirement's busy. So I've been telling people that, yeah,

31
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.199
it's it's it's busy, but you do it on your

32
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.240
own terms. So that's really where the winning comes. Agreed,

33
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.840
So agreed. I still I still encourage people.

34
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.120
Oh yeah, absolutely, I highly highly recommend it, highly recommend retirement.

35
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.120
But it's not a you sit on the couch watch

36
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:29.080
TV kind of gig.

37
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.919
If it is. I didn't know. I didn't write the

38
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.120
right or read the right book, so I screwed up somewhere.

39
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.680
You read a book? Well, I think Team Rust sent

40
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:41.159
me something.

41
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.599
Oh yes, yeah, highly important there.

42
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:44.199
Yeah.

43
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:49.439
Now, Rachel, again, let's remind our listeners you were on

44
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.919
a previous episode. You are an officer with the Lewisville

45
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.039
Police Department, and how long you've been an officer.

46
00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:58.960
I've been an officer sixteen years in two different states

47
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.360
and four different agencies. Don't worry, it wasn't for bad reasons.

48
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.280
I just needed to find the right place, and Louisville

49
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.159
PD is the right place. We're currently hiring. Feel free

50
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.319
to apply. If you have any questions, give me a call.

51
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.800
But I'm also the vice president of the Louisville Police Foundation,

52
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:23.439
which supports our brotherhood sisterhood internally with benevolence, morale boosting,

53
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.479
sponsorships and scholarships.

54
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.680
Good also, good deal. And I understand you've got event

55
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:30.240
coming up.

56
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.319
Yeah, it's not coming up right away, but October twenty

57
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.560
fifth in Lewisville at Harmon High School, we're doing the J.

58
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:43.360
Powell Memorial Car Show. Our Assistant Chief J. Powell, longtime

59
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.120
member of the Louisville Police Department, passed away unexpectedly a

60
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.639
couple of years ago at the very young age of

61
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.280
fifty two, and we wanted to keep his memory alive

62
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.680
and all of the memories of all of our lost

63
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.719
Louisville Police Department members.

64
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.000
Absolutely, so we're going to be doing a memorial.

65
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.400
Car show with his name, but we will have a

66
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.120
memorial table set up for all the people we've lost.

67
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.240
Nice yeah, classy's yeah.

68
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.319
And again the Offbeat we started doing Offbeat on the

69
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.199
Street and we we were at the Cops and Rogers

70
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.800
car show this the last weekend that was out there

71
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.079
benefit of the Farmersville Police Officers Association. And it's a

72
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.800
fundraiser they use in order to be able to get

73
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.079
out the community and be able to serve their purpose

74
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.560
to increase their community relations between officers and and their

75
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.480
associating with the officers and the community in which they serve.

76
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.279
So that that was a lot of fun. It's a

77
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:35.680
good deal.

78
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.959
Is that where the weed sales come in? We all

79
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.560
transitioning to weed sales. Now, Josh, you got beat on

80
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.519
the brain here, I will you know, I'm retired, so

81
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.920
always always looking for another business.

82
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.560
Wow, always looking for that opportunity.

83
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.720
Absolutely. Hey, how was in New Mexico this summer?

84
00:04:54.839 --> 00:05:00.240
And I mean, yeah, Josh, we're gonna have to it

85
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.319
looks like your mic doesn't work anymore. When to put

86
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.839
you off here? Yeah, now I understand you two actually

87
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.839
know each other. Rachel, you know Josh. Now you mentioned

88
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.839
earlier that something about Josh on it. Let's remind everybody

89
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.680
Josh was a motor officer for the city of Copel.

90
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.160
Sure it was fifteen years.

91
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.279
Apparently he's had issues with his motorcycle on his way.

92
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.839
To work, apparently, so because I work weekend nights for

93
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.600
quite some time. And I got a call a capel officer,

94
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.319
motor officer is in need of assistance. So there I go,

95
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.199
and then I found out he was something was broke.

96
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.279
They needed help with a fight or something.

97
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.360
So now you show up, lights and sirens, stand out,

98
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.480
grow tickets. I didn't fight it. That's crazy. That's that's

99
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:49.879
that's for the patrol guys.

100
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:50.560
No.

101
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.000
So I was coming in work and I was on

102
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.279
one twenty one and some truck had lost a bunch

103
00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.959
of like four by fours and so they were all

104
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.360
over the road and at seventy something miles an hour

105
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.879
hit that bent my rim on my motorcycle and they

106
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.439
were like, I think two or three other cars that

107
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.839
have blown tires along the way, and I mean these

108
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.399
four by fours are just shredded all over the road,

109
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.120
and uh yeah, called my sergeant like, so here's the deal.

110
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.519
And I was headed in early because I was worked

111
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.199
out before my shift, and so it was super early

112
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.399
in the morning. And yeah, it was it was real fun.

113
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:32.759
It was dark, it was dark.

114
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:34.720
It got light as we stood there together.

115
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.319
Yeah, yeah, and then Grahams came out and towed the

116
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:42.480
bike and took the Harley dealership. And to be fair,

117
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.079
the Harley Dealership was very familiar with me. Yeah, Slavery

118
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.120
placed everything, I mean everything just about.

119
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:50.240
Did he put a kickstand on?

120
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.199
No? No, I still kept that off, but we hit it.

121
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.279
Down and he wouldn't as fast we had light it

122
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.000
up once removed the kickstand sounds like a good idea.

123
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.000
So they're like, I don't think we've ever seen this

124
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.360
and somebody not go down. But that is the reason

125
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.720
that motorcycle officers do all these trainings and the rodeos

126
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.879
and everything else, because that teaches you how to react, Yeah,

127
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.360
how to how to react to when the fan.

128
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:18.560
I was about to ask you about that, I mean,

129
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.839
how did you not wreck out? I just grip the

130
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.319
grip the handlebars and hold on tight for the ride.

131
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.800
So it's a there's there's some agencies and for the

132
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.839
life of me, I think it's Garland, but I I

133
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.800
can't remember for sure, but I think they actually throw

134
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.040
logs out in front of the bikes and like you

135
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.360
either have to ride over it and maneuver through it.

136
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.839
And it would make sense for Garland to do something

137
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.519
that intense and they were they were a very good

138
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.639
motorcycle team when they came to compete.

139
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.360
And it's because of stuff like that. But in my mind, now,

140
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.639
mind you, time has passed, you know, since since we've

141
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.680
done this. But I want to say some agencies would

142
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.199
go trained with Garland and then told they could no

143
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.720
longer train with Garland because they trained so intensely that

144
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:06.759
there was a lot of damage to the bikes after.

145
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:13.240
So yeah, I mean, you know, you gotta you gotta

146
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:17.240
train for what you're gonna see on the street. And uh,

147
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.160
and some of the rodeos we'd ride in like the

148
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.680
Canadians the way that they do their motorcycle competition. So

149
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.439
for us in the US, if you hit a cone,

150
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.839
not I think if it was a brush, you got

151
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.079
a second, and if it was a knockdown, you got

152
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.559
three seconds added to your score. Lowest time is your

153
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.919
best time is how you win, right. But in Canada,

154
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.639
if you even touch a cone, you're out. Oh yeah,

155
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.679
And so it like it dwindles down to the end

156
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.039
and then at the end that is to speak, competition

157
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.080
where you can hit cones and and you get points

158
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.039
or seconds added to your store but it's it's pretty intense.

159
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:01.039
So they competed with us in Baton Rouge, and they

160
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:02.240
compete with us in Austin.

161
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.120
So dumb question. How did they get the bikes from Canada?

162
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.360
They just jump, throw them on a trailer and I'll drive.

163
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:13.159
No good question. So Austin was Travis County Sheriff's office,

164
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.240
and then Baton Rouge. They would land them bikes. Oh wow,

165
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.720
they wouldn't hit the car. They would lend them bikes

166
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.120
and lend them guns because they weren't allowed to bring

167
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.200
their guns across the border. So yeah, because their bikes.

168
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:29.759
Uh so Baton Rouge is in October, November something like that,

169
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.000
and so their bikes are underground in storage because of

170
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:33.840
the cold.

171
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:35.840
The cold and Baton Rouge.

172
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.600
Well no, no, no, no, no, Canada, Canada.

173
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:41.200
Oh yeah, that makes more sense.

174
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.159
I don't think there is cold and Baton Rouge.

175
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:43.399
No.

176
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.120
So yeah, no, that was It was a lot of fun.

177
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.159
So they're they're good folks.

178
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.399
Now moving on from motorcycles, Rachel, you brought several stories

179
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:56.960
with you today.

180
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.399
Oh yeah, and I'm ready.

181
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.200
Yeah, I in the titles you gave us, I couldn't

182
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:02.559
even get you the intro.

183
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:04.039
Was trying to get that shock in awe.

184
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:04.600
It's a thing.

185
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:06.639
Yeah, I'm thinking you got it.

186
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.080
Yeah, I don't know where to start. Let's go from

187
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:09.759
the bottom up.

188
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.320
Wow, you will start scrotum scrotam sales.

189
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.440
I'm sorry, weed sales. Sorry, we're starting.

190
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.799
From the bottom up. We're gonna start with scrotum. Yeah, Rachel,

191
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.480
go ahead with your scrotum story.

192
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.879
All right. So we got a like reverse in time here.

193
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.320
So back in the day, even when I was growing up,

194
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.960
there was a phone number you could call for information,

195
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.519
like if you'd wanted to know what time it was,

196
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.559
if you need a direction somewhere. Right, But the only

197
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.120
one that knew thisbody. This is way before Google or

198
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:43.919
asked you not on a cell phone.

199
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:44.279
Or the internet.

200
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.159
Yeah, there was no internet, no cell phone, but there

201
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.039
was an information number. There was even a TV show

202
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:53.200
I think called Herman's Head and he worked as the

203
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.399
person that did the information right, Okay.

204
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:57.039
I remember that.

205
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.519
But yeah, there was New Hampshire.

206
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.639
It might be in a different age bracket.

207
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:02.000
I don't know.

208
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:07.879
I am a grandparent, So somehow that that disappeared. It's

209
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.440
not a thing anymore. There is no information number, even

210
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.039
with the Google and the cell phones and computers and libraries.

211
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.960
Apparently we've lost the ability to be able to find

212
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.720
information on our own. So we have a whole clientele

213
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.480
of residents in people that utilized nine one one and

214
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:32.039
police services to get information information like what time does

215
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:36.399
bingos start? When does the bus pick people up? Yeah,

216
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.480
you must have seen those calls come through, right. So

217
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.440
another one of those calls that we received at my department,

218
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.639
specifically my unit, was a gentleman who went to use

219
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:51.120
the restroom in the city's rec center and said the

220
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:54.399
water was too high in the toilet bowl, and he

221
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:00.159
then went on to describe how his scrotum touched the

222
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.399
water and how unsanitary it was and wanted us to

223
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:04.480
correct the issue.

224
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.799
Are you sure that wasn't a cop playing a fun

225
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.440
game on a dispatcher.

226
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.240
So that I didn't go through dispatch, I went through

227
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.480
another outlet that we serve. With that being said, that

228
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.519
is what all of us did, because he wrote scrotum

229
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.720
over and over and over and detailed like, hey, how

230
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.879
how far the water was, which you know, this very

231
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:29.519
graphic picture of this, this scrotum dipping into the unsanitary water.

232
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.879
We did think it was a joke.

233
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.519
Totally not a joke, totally not Wow, this this this

234
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.840
gentleman has many complaints about many things, and this was

235
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.200
a legitimate complaint for him.

236
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.120
Begs the question.

237
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.879
I mean, was the water level high or was it low?

238
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.440
Because there's two factors here.

239
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.200
Yeah, yeah, I think it was a reasonable amount. I

240
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.679
think he had the unreasonable scrotum if I'm allowed to

241
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.120
Is that.

242
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.679
A reasonable That sounds like a T shirt design?

243
00:12:58.919 --> 00:12:59.840
Yeah?

244
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.039
Out here I say that nasonable.

245
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.440
Yeah, I do not know.

246
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.000
I don't know if the water level was ever adjusted

247
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:09.480
with this complaint being launched.

248
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.720
It never received any subsequent.

249
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.519
The police department did not adjust the water or check

250
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.879
the average scroll them.

251
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.039
And this was where at what facility?

252
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:19.639
At one of our rec centers.

253
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:21.799
I was going to say, y'all, just redid the PD.

254
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.519
Is that the reason you redid the PD?

255
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:27.679
Scrotum's hitting the water.

256
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:32.559
There's a reason to keep it so cold in the

257
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.039
locker room. That won't happen.

258
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:37.559
Keep it all shrunk up, No problem with that. Hey, now,

259
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:39.799
cold plunge, I love it.

260
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:42.639
We have a coed locker room, by the way.

261
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:43.519
Do you really we have?

262
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:44.039
Yes?

263
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.799
I mean that's the way colleges are going, so why not.

264
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:48.200
It's great, It's great.

265
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:54.559
So yeah, I mean know whether scrotum touching, scrotum.

266
00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:00.559
Tipping, that went that went south. So I can just

267
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.639
see Steve all right, sit on the toilet. I'm gonna

268
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:08.039
measure the water level all right, I'm thinking is it

269
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.000
six inches or eight? Well, I mean you're gonna need

270
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.360
to lower the temperature in this room.

271
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.000
So so, I mean, it's as funny as it is.

272
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:21.600
I bring it out because unfortunately, we're at a place

273
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:24.600
in time in life where people do not know how

274
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.240
to manage. They don't know how to manage themselves or

275
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.480
their life or even their information. Forget trying to figure

276
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:34.840
out news outlets, something as simple as a complaint like

277
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:36.759
why are you calling the police?

278
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:37.960
You know, I used to have a spiel.

279
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.279
I'd tell people, you know, we're the last person on

280
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.759
the list to call, Like you got a friend, your

281
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.480
husband called you a bad name, call your mom, call

282
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.879
your sister, call a counselor call a preacher.

283
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.120
We should be the last person on the list.

284
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:52.879
We should be the person you call when things are

285
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:57.240
going so bad you can't do it yourself, which just.

286
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.240
Made me think of Okay, so this guy with a

287
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.159
scrut and touching the water, he should have called his

288
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:04.360
mom and said, mom my, scirtum is touching the water.

289
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:05.320
There's toilet.

290
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:10.480
Maybe maybe not that guy, but maybe there's another entity

291
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:11.879
he could have reached out to.

292
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.080
You know what, Maybe you need like a vending machine

293
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.000
with like a rubber bands, like a soup spoon so

294
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.720
you can hold it up there, you know, Like.

295
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.600
A ladle, Yeah, like the one with a little dinosaur

a lot of a lot of folks have you know,

they might have that one little project around the house.

313
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.080
They've been putting off for a couple of repairs they need,

314
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.360
but it's now a good time for them to reach

out to you guys and can you guys help them

316
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:29.960
out with these projects.

317
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:32.879
This is so common around this time of the year.

318
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.039
We get people that get busy through the summertime and

319
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.559
getting the kids back to college or back to school,

320
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.320
and and then they they're thinking about you know, they

321
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.600
get into oh, man, you know, I think we're having

322
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:46.159
relatives come over for Thanksgiving?

323
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:47.159
Are doing this?

324
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.159
And all of a sudden you go up to some

325
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.200
bedrooms or some rooms that you haven't looked at me

326
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:54.399
and go, oh no, there's paint feeling off the walls,

327
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:56.200
or I've got big cracks in my sheet rock.

328
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.000
Are you know this has happened?

329
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.360
Are you know that vanity in the bathroom is starting

330
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:01.519
to peel away from the wall.

331
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:03.360
And so these are all things.

332
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.440
That you know you want to have done, And this

333
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.240

373
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:45.359
So did you uh? I might have missed something?

374
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:51.119
Did you say that Alexander Financial is supporting this next

375
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.400
segment about weed sales.

376
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:56.559
We're going to clarify some things here.

377
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:01.119
No, you work for them, don't.

378
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.519
You see yes, I help out.

379
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:08.160
With that's why you live on acres now. It all

380
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:08.599
make wow.

381
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:12.039
We appreciate their support for the show. Has nothing to

382
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:16.039
do with the stories that we're telling them, no disclaimer.

383
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:19.000
And you know, the one thing, the one thing I

384
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.440
like about Alexander is the fact that they were founded

385
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.559
by a former Mesquite officer in ninety two. They've been

386
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:28.200
around the block, been around for a long time, and

387
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.559
there's no charge for them to sit down and help

388
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.799
out first responders. You know, whether it be something as

389
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:35.240
simple as you need to help with a budget, you

390
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:37.240
need a plan to pay off debt, or whether or

391
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.920
not you're looking at investment and or retirement planning. And

392
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.920
I will say I'm a client. I know several officers

393
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.440
that are and as well as survivors have fallen officers,

394
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.799
So it's awesome by all means. If you have any

395
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.200
questions and got any financial questions stuff like that, then

396
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.480
give those guys Alexander Financial Management a call or check

397
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:01.640

Josh sales noorth Texas dot com.

402

403
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:24.240
Oh well, sorry sorry, what happened is a Ladle's sor

405
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:33.920
Scrotm Ladels Josh's scrot him label La La Ladles dot com.

406
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:38.519
This is not alcohol. By the way, it's still funny.

407
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.160
You know, problem saying ladele, but no problem seeing scrot them.

408
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:43.319
Well I wasn't cap for twenty years.

409
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:44.680
It rolls off the tongue.

410
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:51.279
Yeah, well, well that's what she says, does Josh?

411
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:54.599
Okay, we need to go to stories. Yeah, let's go

412
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:59.519
to our safe place here safe Rachel. You you brought

413
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.640
several stores and I got mad stories. We got mad stories.

414
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.519
Let's go to your weed sales.

415
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:06.319
All right.

416
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:09.559
So this is not news to most in law enforcement,

417
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:11.839
but I think like, if we ever have any listeners

418
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:13.880
here that are not in law enforcement and you want

419
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:15.240
to hear some of the things we go through, like

420
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:17.119
that's what you get to hear on that light side.

421
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.640
Of law enforcement.

422
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:24.240
The last weed call I received as an officer was

423
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:27.359
a young lady calling in that her neighbor sold her

424
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.599
weed and she paid him, and when he went to

425
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:32.880
go get it and brought it back, he only gave

426
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:38.680
her some some some of it. Yes, so she wanted

427
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:41.839
to report that, So in law enforcement we have to

428
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:43.880
look at it from a lot of angles.

429
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:45.279
Is that a civil matter?

430
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:46.880
No?

431
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.680
No, I think that stuffed under one hundred. How much

432
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:52.440
was she How much was she trying to buy?

433
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:57.319
So apparently not much, just about about an eighth which

434
00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:58.920
I think at the time was fifty.

435
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.599
Dollars, So like a hit. Is there maybe two? I don't,

436
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:03.039
I don't know.

437
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:08.599
Once we started discussing it, the report started quickly disappearing.

438
00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:10.119
Shocking.

439
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.000
Yeah, yeah, can I see what he gave you?

440
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:16.559
Yeah, she didn't want to provide that, so she had.

441
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:18.519
No custody of it. It was in somebody else's pants.

442
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.759
Yes, yes, okay, another thing people say. So The funny

443
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:24.680
The funny part about it is this is a common call.

444
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.640
This isn't like a one off. It happens all the time.

445
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.680
People get ripped off doing illegal activity and still want

446
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.480
to report the crime of theft or whatever it is.

447
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:36.000
I mean, I can't be the only one to get that.

448
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:37.680
Well, you know, I mean that you got to think

449
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.559
about it. A criminal has to have somebody to call too. Yeah,

450
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:44.880
I mean if they get cheated, that somebody's violated their rights,

451
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:49.119
I mean they they need to be able to call somebody. Yeah,

452
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:50.279
even if.

453
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:55.480
What mistaken was illegal to possessed, I mean, still theft.

454
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.640
If any if anyone has that case that has actually

455
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:02.200
gone all the way through, because I've never had one

456
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.599
go all the way through. We've never arrested a suspect

457
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.720
for ripping someone off, and at least in my police.

458
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:08.359
History, that'd be interesting.

459
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.480
But if it does occur and it does go to trial,

460
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:11.440
can you please call me?

461
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.200
Yes, well, I would like to be there. I'd like

462
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:16.759
to attend. Yeah, you wonder what county that would actually

463
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:23.160
fly in. I'm thinking it's going to be outside the state. Yeah, really, Yeah,

464
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:25.160
I don't know that Texans Well no, okay.

465
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:26.920
No nobody else cares about weed. It's just Texas.

466
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:31.640
So here's a question. Then if it's federally illegal, right

467
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:35.839
still yeah, but New Mexico and all these other states

468
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.000
that legalized it, in so many calls and says they

469
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:42.359
got ripped off, would an officer have to take that

470
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:43.400
report if.

471
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:44.920
It's legalized, because then it's no different.

472
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.240
But it's not on the federal size, which is legal

473
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:47.680
in the state.

474
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.000
Ass Yeah, but if they're going to prosecute, it depends

475
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:52.599
on how much.

476
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:55.240
What if they steal your sowd off shotgun, you know,

477
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.559
like four years ago. What if they sole your brass knuckles?

478
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:03.039
Yeah, true, they better not. Oh sorry, sere legit.

479
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:03.640
Now we're good.

480
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.759
Yeah, I still think. I still think you're the victim

481
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.279
of a crime. Hey, I paid for this much and

482
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.079
I got this much. I don't know.

483
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:13.519
Yeah, it's interesting.

484
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:15.240
You know, we'll have a conversation with guy. If you

485
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:16.880
could take us to that guy who ripped you off,

486
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:18.000
we would really appreciate it.

487
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.599
Yeah. Yeah, I got his name, Alvin.

488
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.480
The Chipmunk, So I think he's the weed dealer.

489
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:28.319
Wait wait, did he get ripped ripped off by Theodore assignment?

490
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:34.160
He didn't get ripped off, he did off? Yeah, yeah,

491
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:38.880
of the leader, I guess the neighbor, Alvin. You got

492
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.799
your number, Alvin? You know, I'm every once in a

493
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.319
while you'll see one of these like police departments that say, hey,

494
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:48.119
let us check the consistency or the of your drugs,

495
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.599
your poison meth. Bring it in and we'll check it

496
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:54.119
for you. And I always wonder does anybody actually bring

497
00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:56.440
stuff in? Yeah, they have to, I would think so.

498
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:58.920
If you've got a story about that, we want to

499
00:25:58.920 --> 00:25:59.440
hear about it.

500
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.119
I mean they can the smartest.

501
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.440
You know, Well, if you're already high, it seems like

502
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:10.480
a and then you become paranoid, it might seem like

503
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:11.759
a very reasonable.

504
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:12.519
Thing to you.

505
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:16.079
Yes, yeah, reason I think this is a good opportunity

506
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:17.880
for us who say, don't do drugs.

507
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.400
Yes, don't do drugs. Yes. Remember the fried egg commercials.

508
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:26.720
Listen, that's a good one. But I learned it from

509
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:31.559
watching you. It's my favorite one. The dad not me, No,

510
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:35.799
not Josh Jackson, Josh Jackson, Rachel Roberts.

511
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.279
I'm tired that much.

512
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.200
So I love that commercial for so many reasons where

513
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.480
dad finds his box in this kid's room. I mean,

514
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:48.400
it's got everything. That kid free bases. He shoots stuff up,

515
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.799
he smokes crack pipes, he's got he's got everything. He's

516
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:55.160
like fourteen years old. I'm like, man, the kid went

517
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.680
to my high school. Uh, And and Dad's shaking the

518
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:01.119
box in his face and and he's like where did

519
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:01.640
you get this?

520
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:05.279
And the kids like from you? I learned it from watching.

521
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:06.680
You, I do remember that.

522
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:07.720
I love that.

523
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:09.920
That replaces in my head often and I chuckle and

524
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:13.519
giggle right along with I got a hankering for a

525
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:18.000
hunker of a chunk of cheese that I wish they

526
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.759
ingrained something really important in my mind growing up.

527
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:22.440
But those are the things I have left.

528
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.240
So so you know, it begs the question, So that's

529
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:28.960
what sticks with you back back when we were kids,

530
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.359
Right back when we were kids, you who were forced

531
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:34.519
to watch commercials. Yeah, yeah, Now you can just fast

532
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:37.200
forward through commercials or you don't watch commercials at all, right,

533
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:39.880
I mean Netflix and all those others. So is there

534
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:42.319
still creative advertising out there like that?

535
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:42.640
Yeah?

536
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.359
The commercials have to be so intense and engaging, like

537
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.000
you can't like not watch it, okay, Right, and.

538
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:50.680
Then then crumbs Across is like more of a real

539
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:54.920
or something than a commercial, like like the was it

540
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.960
the doctor? Squash soap?

541
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:57.400
Squatch?

542
00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:59.599
Yeah, squatch, that's it. Yeah, they I mean they do

543
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:02.799
a good juh so uh, Steve got an alert.

544
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.440
I like commercials, but it could be a generational thing.

545
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.720
I'm not gonna And I'm constantly amazed at the alcohol

546
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.720
commercials because I swear for a long time they were banned,

547
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:16.319
Like there was no liquor commercials on TV. There was beer,

548
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.000
but there was no liquor. But now I see like

549
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:20.079
Crown Royal and all these other things. I'm like, when

550
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:22.720
did they When did they lighten that up? Like I

551
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:25.160
miss things sometimes all of a sudden, something that was

552
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:28.559
not normal and okay, it's totally normal and okay.

553
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:31.200
Do you remember the cigarette vending machines?

554
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:31.519
Yeah?

555
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:35.599
Yeah, yeah, bucking a quarter, a bucket a quarter at

556
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:37.839
the Chinese food place in the in the back door,

557
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:38.519
not the front door.

558
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:41.920
Yeah.

559
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:42.880
I saw one of.

560
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:43.559
Those not long ago.

561
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.759
I think it's in Frisco, the Green Gator, the Green

562
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:48.880
Gater in Frisco. It's right off Main Street. It's a

563
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:54.759
like a Bayou place whatever that food ocasion. They got

564
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:57.079
a vending machine in there. I don't know how you

565
00:28:57.119 --> 00:28:59.119
put like eleven dollars in quarters in it.

566
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.519
Yeah, it takes credit cards. Well, and how do you

567
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:05.160
verify it? I mean I guess they do it with

568
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.240
the lottery machines. They verify, but.

569
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:09.519
They have you have to scan your idea's license.

570
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:10.759
Yeah huh.

571
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.519
Well, you know we talk about rights and age restrictions

572
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:19.799
and all that Rachel, I understand you. You have brought

573
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.079
up the First Amendment in one of your stories.

574
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:24.079
I did, I did, and and and you know, these

575
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.519
are the questions that come up in law enforcement. State

576
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.400
of Texas doesn't have an adjourned Attorney General's Manual, so

577
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.319
some other smaller states, the attorney General's like, Hey, this

578
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:35.880
is the laws. This is what I'm telling you the

579
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:38.839
law means, and follow these rules, like it's a guideline,

580
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.960
so you know what to do as an officer. Texas

581
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.279
we all kind of wing it. Every agency, every county, Right, Hey,

582
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:45.079
that's the way it is.

583
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.519
H we get the CCP Criminal proceeds.

584
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:51.519
Yeah, but there's a lot of ways, like, okay, case

585
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:53.119
in point had nothing to do with the First Amendment.

586
00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:56.559
Someone's walking a dog, and did I talk about this

587
00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:57.160
last time?

588
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:00.559
I don't. I don't think we covered well the dog.

589
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.000
So someone's walking their dog on a leash and their

590
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:05.519
dog urinates on your mailbox? Is that criminal mischief?

591
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:08.519
Can the dog be held culpably?

592
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.279
It can't because in the law it says a person

593
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.400
a person. It's the offense.

594
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:17.000
Did that dog intentionally, knowingly or recklessly urinate on your mailbox?

595
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:20.519
Either way, a dog's not a person, right, So I

596
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:23.920
can read it says a person commits this offense. And

597
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:26.400
I have to argue with people I work with that

598
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:28.519
that's not an offense, and they say it is. So

599
00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:31.799
the fact we have discrepancies throughout law enforcement about letter

600
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:34.240
of law wording of law, well, we believe a.

601
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:36.119
Lot of mean is a little bit crazy.

602
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:36.400
Right.

603
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.400
So here's where one comes in. We've got a guy

604
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:42.839
calling in many times he wants someone arrested.

605
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:45.720
What for for throwing a newspaper on his yard?

606
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:47.160
Sounds reasonable?

607
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:47.599
Yeah?

608
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:51.400
So, I mean, he doesn't buy the newspaper, he doesn't

609
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.039
order it. He's asked the newspaper to stop throwing it there.

610
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:56.160
He's tried to tell the guy that throws it to stop.

611
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:59.640
And it came down to a long, lengthy discussion that

612
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.319
that's a First Amendment right to throw a newspaper in

613
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:04.400
someone's yard, and I'm not.

614
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:07.240
Sure it is. I'm not sure who clarifies that.

615
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:09.160
Okay, wait, wait a minute, are we going to get

616
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:13.119
into curtilage here in what's the you know, right to reasonable?

617
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:13.960
You know?

618
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:17.720
But if it's what if it's like, well, I don't

619
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:19.160
want to blast out a newspaper.

620
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:20.640
I was the p IO for a short time.

621
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:23.160
But what if what if it's a paper that might

622
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:32.440
not have accurate or fair information, then that would be littering, right,

623
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:33.680
because it's garbage.

624
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:36.359
Josh, is good to be retired, what do you?

625
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:43.480
Yeah? Yeah, because I'm trying to think that through. And yeah, interesting, I.

626
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.920
Think it depends on where the paper lands. If it

627
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:47.400
lands twin the sidewalk.

628
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.880
The curve, Yeah, what if it's like on your like

629
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:53.400
front step, Like, let's play a newspaper boy on Nintendo.

630
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:55.160
Remember that I got a reasonable right price.

631
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:59.960
There's a guy in a car, are there?

632
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:03.119
You know? I didn't work a lot of nights because

633
00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:07.240
I was on motors, But I remember, right motors by

634
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.680
the way, and uh, but I remember those newspaper drivers.

635
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:13.839
I always thought they were drunks. And and of course

636
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:15.559
it's like three or four o'clock in the morning, right,

637
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.119
and you're like, thatt's kind of late for a drunk,

638
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:21.000
but maybe because they are freaking all over the road.

639
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.680
Yeah, yeah, and they're throwing things out the window. So

640
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:25.559
I went to pull one over one night because I

641
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:27.400
thought he was throwing my beer cans out And then

642
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.119
I felt so dumb. I'm so glad I saw what

643
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.160
he threw. I'm like, okay, I gotta go a different way.

644
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:36.680
Before I realized it might be littering based on the

645
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.000
calls for service we're getting.

646
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:41.640
Yeah, well we've we've received a call before because some

647
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:44.599
of them went out to retrieve their newspaper and apparently

648
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:46.160
then they got the wrong one because this one had

649
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:47.839
a baggy of cocaine rolled up inside it.

650
00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:48.599
Nice.

651
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:51.799
Yeah, yeah, just like you know, that's what parents worry

652
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.440
about when you go trigg or treating.

653
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:54.920
Yeah, and which is coming up?

654
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:57.160
Someone's gonna give you a bucket of drugs.

655
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.240
There's another one that needs giving away their drugs. I mean,

656
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:02.720
come on, remember those commercials.

657
00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:04.720
Yeah, well I figured it out.

658
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:06.519
I mean it took me a delayed time in life,

659
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.200
Like maybe I'm a slow learner, but the whole razor

660
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:11.839
blade in the candy that was always in recey cups.

661
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:14.079
Oh it's sorry, I'm allergic to peanuts.

662
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.680
Well that's I'm pretty I realized finally it's because my

663
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:18.759
parents were stealing the recy cups and they wanted to

664
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:23.039
eat them all nice. Oh wait, thats res Yes, those

665
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:25.119
are the ones with the most razor blades. So those

666
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.240
always got taken out of our bags. Yeah, I'm I'm

667
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:28.960
a slow learner.

668
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:31.079
I guess damn it. I didn't even know that until

669
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:33.119
just now. I was thinking. I'm sitting here thinking, how

670
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:34.920
do you get a razor blade inside a piece of candy?

671
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.480
You're always worried about that as a kid, you were,

672
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.160
but that they were still candy, they were still in

673
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:40.640
the candy.

674
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:44.039
Yeah, yeah, son of a bitch. I guess we're all

675
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:44.720
slow learners.

676
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:47.319
Yeah, okay, you're in good company.

677
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:51.039

679
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:56.119
I'd like to file a theft report statue statue.

680
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:00.440
Well, well, if you look at totality, so how many times,

681
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:04.039

00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.039
like one hundred thousand dollars of candy over my lifetime

683
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.199
because I still took a treat?

684
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:11.440
Wow you got? Do you go as a firefighter?

00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:15.280
I go as a variety of things in this year.

686
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:18.199
My husband's not happy with my selection, and I believe

687
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:19.639
he's going to end up talking me out of it,

688
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:23.360

There you go.

00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:55.960
I never used the sounds in here. Yeah, that would

700
00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:59.079
have been a great one. Yeah no, that's uh. I

701
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:01.199
guess you're gonna be looking for your bicycle in the

702
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:02.519
basement of the Alamo or.

703
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:03.760
Okay, straight up.

704
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:07.559
When I moved here from New Hampshire, the only thing

705
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:10.599
I knew about the Alamo was that Pewe's Herman's bicycle

706
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:11.519
was in the basement.

707
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:13.199
I didn't know anything.

708
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.960
They don't teach us that we don't care about Texas history.

709
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:18.760
We care about the Boston Tea Party. The Red Coats

710
00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:22.400
are coming like actual things, actual.

711
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.840
Things, actual things, things.

712
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.199
That created this country. And then I come.

713
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:29.880
Here Rachel Country.

714
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:30.519
Now I know.

715
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:33.239
Now I didn't know. This is the old Rachel, the

716
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:35.760
new Rachel's of Texan. I went to the Alamo. I

717
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:41.000
went to the Haunted Hotel there, the Crockett Hotel, it's

718
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:42.000
right next to Alamo.

719
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.239
The there's like three haunted ones down there.

720
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:47.679
Yeah, yeah, so I tried.

721
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:50.519
You know, I took the Texas government class Texas History.

722
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:52.480
I learned a lot of things I did not know

723
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:56.079
were a thing because I grew up on the other side.

724
00:35:56.639 --> 00:35:58.239
So on the other side.

725
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:03.039
I didn't know about a lot of the Union uh stuff. Okay, yeah,

726
00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:06.400
it was scary anyway. O, wait forget that.

727
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:08.320
Let's go back to happy stuff.

728
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:13.320
So again and glittering speaking about happy stuff. You you

729
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:16.000
gave me one title, resting happy Face?

730
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:21.760
Oh my god. Okay, everyone's heard about RBF? Right, Ever

731
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:25.079
heard about resting happy face before today? No, it's a thing,

732
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.440
so I have it. Uh, it's not a bad thing.

733
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:31.960
What kind of what's probably? So?

734
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.239
Yeah, it's the opposite of RBF. It is a is

735
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:39.199
a pleasant approachable face. Where what I have learned through

736
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:43.280
my entire life, strangers love to talk to me, ask

737
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:44.159
me for directions.

738
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:46.360
If I'm in a grocery store, people ask me for help.

739
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:50.800
It's just a constant barrage of other people feeling comfortable

740
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:53.480
enough to come over and speak to me. Now, with

741
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:57.559
that being said, I didn't know till I was mid twenties.

742
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.960
My practice husband pointed it out and grocery store, standing

743
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:04.440
there looking at food, and this little old lady comes

744
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:08.360
over comes over. I'm like, Hi, grabs me, hugs me,

745
00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:09.360
kisses me on the face.

746
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:11.920
Yeah, yeah, totally assaulted you.

747
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:12.760
I don't know her.

748
00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:16.039
I'm like, hey, so she her husband comes over, grabs her,

749
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:18.039
drags away. I'm just sitting there doing what I do.

750
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:21.840
My ex husband was laughing so hard, and I'm like,

751
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.800
why are you laughing? And he goes, because You're the

752
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:27.719
only person in my entire life I've ever met that

753
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:31.079
happens to you all the time. And I'm like, what do

754
00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:33.280
you mean? He goes, it happens to you. I go, no, No,

755
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:37.039
doesn't it happen to everyone. Don't Small children run up

756
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:38.760
to you and like climb up your leg and want

757
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.679
you to carry them around, and handicapped people like grab

758
00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:43.599
on your arm and want to hang out, and little

759
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:44.440
old people kiss you.

760
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:45.280
That's not normal.

761
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:49.519
Okay, So this.

762
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:51.719
Is what I learned resting happy face. That's what happens

763
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:52.079
to us.

764
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:56.639
And so becoming into law enforcement, that's where things get weird, right,

765
00:37:56.840 --> 00:38:00.960
Because what's good is I also have a pretty good

766
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:04.239
sense of, you know, predatory behavior. So I got an

767
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:06.159
inkling that lady with I mean they sh had a

768
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.400
lot of gray hair hair on her chin. When she

769
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:11.079
got that closed to kiss me, I had a pretty

770
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:15.840
good inkling. She wasn't a threat, right, But I have

771
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:20.039
had some instances in this business where being in crisis

772
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.920
intervention team, we deal with people that are mentally ill

773
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:26.320
or in crisis. And I had another seasoned woman, as

774
00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:29.559
I like to call my older folks in need of services,

775
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:31.239
and so they called me to come and help, and

776
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:33.320
of course it's all all my buddies are there, and

777
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:36.239
I'm like, a cool cop crisis intervention, I'll take care

778
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:36.719
of this lady.

779
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.199
You guys can't handle. So I go over. I'm like, hey, ma'am,

780
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:41.280
I'm here to help you.

781
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:48.360
Excuse me, she's doing this, and I'm like, I don't

782
00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:50.480
know what she's doing. So I lean closed because I

783
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.679
thought she was going to whisper something. It wasn't a whisper.

784
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:59.599
It was a kiss, a big wet one.

785
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:01.639
No I turned. I turned.

786
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:03.880
I was trying to listen to her, so luckily it

787
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:05.440
was a side of my face, but it was very big,

788
00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:09.599
very wet, and I understand there's a crisis there, and

789
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:13.239
she said, so I can manage it, but I'll never

790
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:15.840
live it down. My co workers same thing as my

791
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.159
ex husband laughing there took uses off.

792
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:19.800
They just thought it was the funniest thing.

793
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:24.559
But uh, the worst part of that kiss is uh,

794
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:30.280
I to feel it. You know how you know what

795
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:33.159
what triggers your memories in life and in this job.

796
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:39.079
You know, it's sights, sounds, feelings, and smells. Because when

797
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:41.599
she got that closed and she she laid that one

798
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:45.000
up on me because of my resting happy face, I

799
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:48.320
had the smell. Well I found out what the smell was.

800
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:53.199
It's gang green. She had an infected surgery on her

801
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:56.400
abdomen and it had gone gang green. And uh, now

802
00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:59.480
now I know what that is. Like, that's in the toolbox. Yeah,

803
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:03.519
right up there, hankering for a hunk of cheese. So,

804
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:05.159
but I just want to share A resting happy face

805
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:05.760
is a real thing.

806
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:06.320
Google it.

807
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:09.280
It's uh, it's it's opposite of the other one and

808
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:12.000
it's not a bad thing, but it it can be

809
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:14.800
very hard to uh make people go away.

810
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:19.960
Yeah, so again another learning another learning tool.

811
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:20.800
Yeah, I'm a teacher.

812
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.639
Just because someone looks approachable, don't go up and kiss

813
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:27.239
him on the face and I found out I'm old

814
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:27.920
who knew?

815
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:28.280

883
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:27.360
times in the job you come across vehicles that are

884
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:30.239
obstructing the roadway. Yeah, and I understand you've got a

885
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:34.760

explanation of the people. You know, you just really never

887
00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:39.920

00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:42.599
park in the roadway. Wait, wait, go ahead and share

889
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:43.280

890
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:47.000
Oh man, So I really wish my buddy from work

891
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:49.320
was here with me because he was driving and I'm

892
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:50.880
in the car with him. We're on our way back

893
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:53.440
to the police department for what have you. And I'll

894
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:55.320
even like line it up, tell you where we're at.

895
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:59.239
So if people are local in the DFW area, what

896
00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:02.840
Sam Rayburn toll Ways pretty big fast road and even

897
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:06.519
the front edge road is three lanes wide, sixty miles

898
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:06.880
an hour.

899
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:09.320
So we're tooling down that and.

900
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:14.360
Going southbound and there is a vehicle like a little

901
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:16.599
sedan in a in the right hand lane with their

902
00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:17.199
hazards on.

903
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:21.760
Bonus just stopped. So we're the police, right, We get

904
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:22.679
up behind it, turn.

905
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:23.840
On the lights, does everything okay?

906
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:25.159
Yeah, yeah, my partner.

907
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:27.480
Joe goes out there and and uh, Joe's gonna have

908
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:29.559
to come on the show because we work together.

909
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:33.760
So we h so Joe's endo it a lot, then, yes,

910
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:34.079
he has.

911
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:36.280
We went on another podcast together too, and it was

912
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:39.119
I had a different name there, but.

913
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:43.519
We don't names here because of statue limitations.

914
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:45.360
No, that's why I didn't become a cop. Tell I

915
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:45.920
was in my thirties.

916
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:50.400
Oh okay, yeah, So, so Joe's getting out of the car.

917
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:51.360
I'm on the radio.

918
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:53.440
I'm putting it so prior to having to call out

919
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:55.599
all the radio traffic, Like, I like to put in

920
00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:58.800
all the information myself to make sure it's accurate, and

921
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:00.920
just I put in more, he tells the others because

922
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:02.159
I believe in information gathering.

923
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:04.320
So I'm in there. I'm typing away getting everything in.

924
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:06.880
Told him where we're at car here, I'm thinking we're

925
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:07.800
gonna need a tow truck.

926
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:12.199
I look up and I see, for the people watching.

927
00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:16.840
This, this head like bobbing left, bobbing right, and a

928
00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:20.559
lot of movement. But but Joe is standing at the

929
00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:24.519
passenger window, hands hands up in the air like he's praying.

930
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:29.239
He's like Sunday masks like hear me, Lord hellelujah. And

931
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:32.320
so to me, that means he's something's going on and

932
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:32.719
it's not.

933
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:35.079
It's it can't be bad because he would be you.

934
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:37.400
Know, hand on guy rock and roll, like moving, you know,

935
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:39.719
getting to the B pillar. No, he's standing there, hands

936
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:41.280
up the air, like what the heck is going on?

937
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:46.199
And I finishing up, and then he just starts walking

938
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:49.920
back to me, and the car's hazards are still on.

939
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.840
The car drives up, goes thirty feet up the road

940
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:55.840
and pulls into the parking lotch nice, And I'm like, Joe,

941
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:57.840
what was that? And he You'll never believe it? What

942
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:01.199
she stopped to breastfeed.

943
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:02.519
In Atlanta traffic?

944
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:03.280
Yeah?

945
00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:04.119
Is that safe?

946
00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:09.199
Sixty miles an hour with a parking lot thirty feet away? So, like,

947
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:11.400
I just want to, you know, let everyone know. I'm

948
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:14.280
totally cool with breastfeeding. I think that's fine. I think

949
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:16.239
that's a good thing for families to do.

950
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:16.760
People do.

951
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:19.159
It's your decision, Josh, you're good with breastfeeding as well.

952
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:21.280
Sure, I have never done it.

953
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:23.920
I'm not going to shame you. There's no intent to

954
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:26.360
shame any females at breastfeed. But I will shame the

955
00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:29.280
dummy that stops in a sixty mile an hour roadway

956
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:32.760
in the road to breastfeed their child, taking them out

957
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:34.840
of a child seat to breastfeed them when there is

958
00:47:34.880 --> 00:47:38.199
a parking lot thirty feet in front of you.

959
00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:41.000
You know, that's the youny think about law enforcement. There

960
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:43.360
are so many times that you come across and throw

961
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:47.480
your hands up and go really, yeah, really, this this

962
00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:48.599
was a good idea to you?

963
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:52.800
Yeah, well whose idea was this? Was it the mom's

964
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:54.320
idea or was it the baby's idea?

965
00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:57.239
So this is where a missed opportunity occurred, Like I

966
00:47:57.280 --> 00:47:59.760
really should have went up there too, but it happened

967
00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:04.559
so quick because he quickly let her know how you

968
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.119
need to pull in right there. And I would have

969
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:09.320
loved to hear her side of it, like what was

970
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:13.719
so horrible? Or my question, which neither one of us

971
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:15.760
thought to ask at the time or even ask each other.

972
00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:19.239
Was she breastfeeding the whole time driving and then it

973
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.519
got too complicated or she needed to switch out and

974
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:23.480
decided to stop.

975
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:26.920
That could have been it, because which does the driver's

976
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:31.119
seat the seat belt's going from left to right? I

977
00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:33.400
mean the babies? Yeah, I mean, if you need a

978
00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:34.760
shift to the left.

979
00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:37.719
So she would take she would wear a seatbelt, but

980
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.039
baby is okay not being seatbelt.

981
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:42.119
Yeah, well the air bag will hold them when it's

982
00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:46.719
you know, because car crash. Hold on yeah, yes, yeah,

983
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:50.239
you can just hold on. Yeah, I mean it should

984
00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:53.000
be funny, but it is terrifying that the poor decisions

985
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:55.760
people make, and and luckily were there to like move

986
00:48:55.800 --> 00:48:59.159
them along without without making them feel ignorant or inferior,

987
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:00.880
just letting them know this isn't safe. You need to

988
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:02.559
move along, and then we can come on the show

989
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:03.639
and laugh about it all day.

990
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:07.679
Yeah, and I'm still I you know, we we don't

991
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.880
know this baby's intake. Maybe he was he needed to

992
00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:13.239
get hydrated, you know, maybe that's what it is.

993
00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:15.400
Well, there's mom brain too, right, so like after you

994
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:17.519
have a child, you're not getting sleep, You're like, I'm

995
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:20.159
so tired. This kid won't stop crying. So there could

996
00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:23.159
be a variety of reasons. It definitely wasn't drugs or alcohol.

997
00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:27.840
But still even even impaired, even without sleep, even when

998
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:30.920
you have a child in need, never a good idea.

999
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:32.400
Not a good idea, just stop in the middle of

1000
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:37.000
the roadway soon. So after our first was born, Yeah,

1001
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:41.599
obviously we're not sleeping, and she wakes up crying, and

1002
00:49:41.719 --> 00:49:45.639
because that's what kids do, and my I get out

1003
00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:49.159
of bed to check on her. And I looked at

1004
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:51.639
my wife, who I guess had woken up to probably

1005
00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:53.400
hit me, and said, hey, go check on the baby.

1006
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:55.440
And I said, which number is she?

1007
00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:57.719
What?

1008
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:04.920
No, no, idea, there's there's just one. I said, which

1009
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.199
number is she? And she got up and got to

1010
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:09.760
get take care of her. I went back to bed. Yeah,

1011
00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:13.280
that's the currently. I was pretty tired, lost your mind,

1012
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:17.199
But she's reminded me of that time and time again

1013
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:17.800
over the years.

1014
00:50:18.039 --> 00:50:18.599
What number?

1015
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:22.039
Which number is she?

1016
00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:23.639
Well? Is she now number one?

1017
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:26.159
She is the oldest? No, no, no, you don't call

1018
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:29.719
him number one because then the other two siblings say, oh,

1019
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:32.639
she's number one. So becomes a competition.

but you all have to act like that one nice.

1025
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:47.079
