I appreciate it absolutely, man, and it's a pleasure to

12
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:02.840
have you here in the studio with us today. You

13
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.000
kind of hesitated there at the game.

14
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:06.719
I don't know if you were going to keep talking

15
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:07.920
or not. I was waiting for more.

16
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:08.719
We all wonder that.

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.159
It was. Wow, such a big intro. I like it.

18
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.200
Yeah, Wow, pick on Steve Day, isn't it every time

19
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:17.640
I'm here?

20
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.400
Yeah, I've got no argument with you on that one, Josh. Now,

21
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.200
it's because I love you, Okay, that's kind of creepy. Now, Brian,

22
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.920
you're currently an officer I am? And what agency do

23
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:30.400
you work for?

24
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.000
Fort Worth PD?

25
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.560
How long you been? How long you've been over for Worth?

26
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.280
So I've been in Fort Worth for a little over

27
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.120
ten years and now I started my career a little

28
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.560
over twenty years ago in Irving though, so I did

29
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.439
a little over ten in Irving and then came to

30
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.280
Fort Worth and I've been there a little over ten

31
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.120
years and now currently assigned to the Weapons Range as

32
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:48.519
a firearms instructor.

33
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.040
A full time nice. So that's climate controlled at Fort Worth.

34
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:52.400
Right it is.

35
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.439
Yeah, we are very spoiled, very very spoiled.

36
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:58.200
That's a good that's a good place to be at

37
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.359
twenty years, you know, you know, twenty places years in

38
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:02.040
the profession.

39
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.359
It's yeah, there's definitely worse things to do in law enforcement,

40
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:06.040
that's for sure.

41
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.159
Absolutely. And I will say this. We we've known each

42
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.080
other for quite some time, and that goes back to

43
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.680
something we we kind of have in common. My my

44
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.000
wife Karen, as we've mentioned on the show before, she's

45
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.360

46
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.159

47
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:34.960
you you lost a coworker and you're actually married to

48
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.639
to the co worker's sister. I am, and we are

49
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.280
talking about Andrews Barza, Irving Police Department. Andrews into Watch

May may he rest in peace, but thank you. That's

52
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:52.719
how we know each other.

53
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.080
That is, yeah, we've we've we've known each other for

54
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.360
a long time. It's been it's been a while.

55
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:58.680
I'm sorry, chat.

56
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.120
I think we all think we all kind of met

57
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.439
at the kind of at the same time. I think

58
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.319
we all both names got put on the wall in

59
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.520
DC together, I think, and I think that's kind of

60
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:10.000
how we met.

61
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.879
But yeah, Andrew was he was my partner.

62
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.639
We went to the academy together, and we trained on

63
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.479
every ship together.

64
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.080
When we got cut loose, we worked together.

65
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.680
And I just happened to have enough id on him

66
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.319
to take off and go out of town.

67
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.599
The night he passed away.

68
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:36.080
So yeah, Zoe and I we met through Andrew and.

69
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.080
Got married shortly after his accident.

70
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.919
And and she's been stuck with you ever since.

71
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.360
She has she's she's she's amazing. No, she's she's amazing.

72
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.000
It's she's definitely my rock and my support going through

73
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:53.879
all the things that I'm going through, especially right now

74
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.599
and throughout my career. So it's it's been, it's been

75
00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:00.439
a blessing. Man, that's that's awesome. Your your wife's is

76
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.319

and man, those people are incredible as well. They're fun,

78
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.159
they are fun, they are incredib they're definitely incredible people.

79
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:11.000
But it's a lot of fun.

80
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.439
It's a it was it's a fun wild family to

81
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.039
uh marry into, for sure.

82
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.000
And it's been it's been a blasting.

83
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:22.319
Well you look like you're holding up. Well, yes, Oh, Now,

84
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.079
in your twenty plus years in law enforcement, I know

85
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.480
you've seen a couple of things. And you know that

86
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.079
that's what we like to feature here on the shows,

87
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.759
the funny stories because we've all we've all done the job.

88
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.120
We know that there's a lot of funny that happens

89
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.439
out there, and and sometimes we tend to overlook that.

90
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:42.199
But I understand that you've got a story about prank

91
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:43.079
on a rookie.

92
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:43.600
I do.

93
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.519
Yeah, So we had a he was a really good,

94
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.120
good officer, you know, he was. He's a go getter,

95
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.040
wanted to to really, you know, get out there and

96
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.560
do a lot of fun and exciting things.

97
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.680
And he he was just one of those rookies. I

98
00:04:58.720 --> 00:04:59.480
was kind of wound tight.

99
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:00.759
Know that.

100
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:06.120
Yeah, I'm seeing that before. You know, it's a good thing, especially,

101
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.319
you know, compared to nowadays. You see rookies that they're

102
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.040
just waiting to get out of patrol.

103
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.040
They don't want to do anything in patrol.

104
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.319
But this, this officer was a complete opposite, and he

105
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.720
just wanted to run around and chase bad guys.

106
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.399
So we my partner and I at the time.

107
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.360
He was an old salty Vetuh, he used to he

108
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.600
used to give rookies a bunch of crap. And we

109
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.839
went and worked an accident and he started gathering up

110
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.079
a bunch of glass on the highway and he put

111
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.680
it in an evidence bag, and uh, this partner, yes,

112
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.199
and so I'm asking him what he's doing and he

113
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:43.519
just kind of tells me, you know, you'll see, yeah,

114
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.360
And I had no idea what was going on. So

115
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.759
he calls a sergeant and he calls the shop and uh,

116
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.800
you know, make some phone calls. Well, we find this

117
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.920
rookie parked at a restaurant on a lunch break and

118
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.759
open his car and roll his passenger window down and

119
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.879
sprinkled glass all over the place, and perfect take his

120
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.040
patrol bag and everything out of his car and then

121
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.920
just go park like caddy corner in a business and wait.

122
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.879
And so this rookie comes out and he sees his cars,

123
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.759
you know, broken into there's glass everywhere, and he gets

124
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.120
on the radio and starts screaming, and he's running through

125
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.839
the parking lot and asking people if they saw anything.

126
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.680
And after the fourth different description of a suspect was

127
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.639
put out on the radio, the sergeant who's in on it,

128
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.279
finally says, hey, just take the car down to the shop.

129
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.199
Get another car, like, yeah, just down the car man.

130
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.519
So he drives it down there, and we just happened

131
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.279
to be loosely tailing him while he's driving down there,

132
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.000
and he's distraughted enough not to notice. Oh he doesn't

133
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.759
know anything. Yeah, he thinks he's getting fired for sure,

134
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.399
you know. But the maintenance guy who's in on this,

135
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.279
you know, the rookie pulls up and the maintenance guy

136
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.920
just rolls the passenger window all the way up, and

137
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.680
you know, we had his bag and everything, and he

138
00:06:58.199 --> 00:06:59.560
was not very happy.

139
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.959
But it what's he gonna say? It was worth it though,

140
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:04.279
That is awesome.

141
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:05.199
Yeah, it was fun.

142
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.399
And you know, I do have a story about that. Myself.

143
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.600
Very similar story. We had a guy. It was the

144
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.279
day before his retirement. This guy, he really didn't care

145
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.240
about anything. Similar deal went down the city shop. Well

146
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.399
I actually happened to be at the city shop. Looked

147
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.279
in the trash can. There's a munch of broken glass there.

148
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.319
They had just pulled out a windshield and bunch of

149
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:25.920
broken glass in it. So I asked him if they

150
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.040
had a box I could put it in. So grabbed

151
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.279
it and so that this will come in handy later. Yeah,

152
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.839
and anyways, found this this guy. He was sitting at

153
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.800
his favorite place we like to eat. And anyway, so

154
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.800
called another officer. And at the time our cars were

155
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:45.000
not all keyed the same, which that's a whole nother story. Yeah,

156
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.959
but anyway, so I called another officer, said, hey, grab

157
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.720
his spare keys for me at the station. Bring him

158
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.319
over to me. And we did that. We rolled down

159
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.439
the driver's side window, sprinkled the glass, took out his MDC,

160
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.959
his laptop, we took out his rifle, we took out

161
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.279
his bag, and we went and we sat up next

162
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.199
parking lot over and watched him. Well, he came out,

163
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:08.439
looked at it, looked up, looked down, got in his

164
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.480
car started driving off. And that's the difference between the

165
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.959
rookie and the veteran. Yeah, he was just gonna drive

166
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.639
the station. He's like, well, I'm returning, you know, I'm leaving.

167
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.560
Keeps that much less I have to check back in. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

168
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.920
he could care less not my stuff, you know.

169
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.560
Veteran. Yeah, veterans were definitely different.

170
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.240
I remember there was a guy who was his last

171
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.360
day in patrol and they sent him to a call

172
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.960
and he got on the radio and he's like, nah today,

173
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.559
you know, right in the middle of his last shift,

174
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.120
and like, what do you mean?

175
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.600
He said, he can show me how the service that

176
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.559
was it I'm done. Yeah. He's like, you know, I'm

177
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:44.480
not dealing with that right now.

178
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:44.799
I'm not.

179
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:45.440
I'm not going to.

180
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.120
Oh yeah, well, I mean we all we're all rookies

181
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.320
at some point. Yeah, so so I I wasn't a rookie,

182
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.039
but I h I'll tell him myself. Dave Gilstorp, who

183
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.840
was on the radio or on the podcast, he he

184
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.639
I aim with the shop and uh, I was on

185
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:07.440
a BMW and motor I'm a motorcycle right, and I

186
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.120
had never been on a motorcycle. And he goes, hey,

187
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.440
don't forget. You got to get the air changed and

188
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:17.639
the tires. I don't know. I'm only got two wheels.

189
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.159
So I'm like, heck, yeah, I'm gonna go get this

190
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.559
checked out. So he calls BMW fort Worth and mind you,

191
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.679
I've worked in Capello and he calls them. He's like, hey,

192
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.799
Josh's gonna come down there to get winter air, but

193
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.080
tell him it's on his time. I drove all the

194
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.000
way to BMW for were nice, showed up to the

195
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.679
tech and I'm like, I need the winter air. Exchanges like,

196
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.759
oh yeah, you got to get that done, all the

197
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:43.879
way to BMW four.

198
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.799
That's wrong. It was the tech in on it.

199
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:47.639
Oh he was in on it.

200
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:47.919
Yeah.

201
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.279
Yeah, he didn't change it out, but it went. It

202
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.519
went pretty food far enough. Oh yeah absolutely, and build

203
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:54.840
me for it. Yeah personally.

204
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.639
Yeah, let's just say what it costs you to get

205
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:57.480
that cold air.

206
00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.679
It was BMW, so it's gonna be a lot. Yeah,

207
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.480
certified air, yeah, certified BMW German air.

208
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.679
That costs more to bring that over Germany.

209
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:08.519
It has to.

210
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.000
It would have been so much better if you they

211
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:12.399
would have done it and then build you like a

212
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.879
dollar seventeen cents or something, because you would have just

213
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.360
paid it. You'd have been like, well like, okay, I'll

214
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.720
just pay this, like it sounds reasonable. Yeah whatever, Yeah,

215
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.639
they yeah, Dave, Dave.

216
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.759
Dave could say it in such a stoic way that

217
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.279
it just seemed like it was legit. Right, So I

218
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.600
was like, Okay, that seems legit, and I asked around.

219
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.679
The guys are like, but you know, you don't realize

220
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:36.000
that until afterwards.

221
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.360
Well, and you bring up Dave day. Dave, isn't he

222
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:40.240
running for a uh?

223
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.279
He is running for Hill County commissioner. So he's running

224
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.399
for a Hill County commissional County commissioner.

225
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:49.960
And I bring that up because Brian, you two are

226
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.159
also running for positions.

227
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:53.080
I am, I am.

228
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.480
I'm running for United States Congress currently down in Congressional

229
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.080
District six outstanding.

230
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.600
And what what is uh this six compromise?

231
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.759
So the new map, if if that holds up, it's

232
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.080
gonna be all of Navarro County, all of Ellis County,

233
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.000
and then a portion about thirty percent of Johnson County,

234
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.720
and then fifteen or twenty percent of Teant and actually

235
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:19.879
twenty percent of Dallas fifteen to twenty percent of Dallas. Yeah,

236
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.279
so it's it's a kind of a it's a big map,

237
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.440
but it's kind of it's kind of shaped weird. It

238
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.639
starts down low and kind of bends through the metroplex.

239
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.080
We have all of all but.

240
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.159
Most of Arlington, Grand Prairie, Irving, a little bit of

241
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.840
Fort Worth, a little bit of burlesson Cleeburne, Grand View,

242
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.399
and then further south into Ellis in Navarro County.

243
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:42.360
So wait, I've gotta I gotta ask you this. Twenty

244
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.960
plus years in law enforcement and you you're now running

245
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.039
for Congress. I am golly, Josh, what are you doing

246
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:51.600
in retirement?

247
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.039
Well, I thought I was doing a lot till somebody's

248
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.200
running for congress.

249
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.000
Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Yeah, it was really awesome.

250
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.960
It's it's been fun. It's been it's definitely been fun.

251
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:09.960
It's it's go, go, go, all day every day. It's

252
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.159
it's been a lot of fun. Very excited about it.

253
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:15.840
We're getting a lot of momentum, a lot of support.

254
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.399
We have a lot of events coming up, fundraising events

255
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.519
we'll talk about later. Said, yeah, I know, it's it's

256
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.879
something that you know, Uh, at first, when I got

257
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.399
into politics a year and a half ago at the

258
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.480
city level. I was kind of like, oh, you know,

259
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.360
I don't know if if that's the thing, But then

260
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.799
I fell in love with it. And it's a completely

261
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.799
different way of serving people. And I think being in

262
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.120
law enforcement really plays into serving the people and understanding

263
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:42.720
how to do that.

264
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:44.639
Yeah, that's awesome.

265
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.480
Well, and that's that's exactly where I was going to

266
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.360
go with my next question. You know, what what made

267
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:50.320
you want to run?

268
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.679
Yeah, so I became a city council member and about

269
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.000
a year and a half ago became mayor pro tem.

270
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.240
And you know, like I said, first, I was asked

271
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.519
to kind of try that out, and you know, usually

272
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.240
cops don't really want to deal with politics, right, and

273
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.840
so so I gave it a go, and then I

274
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.039
realized how much I loved it and how much you know,

275
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.320
they kind of parallel each other honestly, you know, serving

276
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.679
serving a community in a different way, but you're still serving.

277
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.320
And in order to do that effectively, you have to

278
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.960
be available for people and listen to people and and

279
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.639
and solve problems. And I think that we're missing that

280
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.519
significantly with the current person that's holding the seat so

281
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.320
you know, I started looking at after I was in

282
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.840
city council and did that for a little bit. I

283
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:45.720
started looking at other issues within our district and and

284
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.960
the elected officials and and really started to dive into

285
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.519
that and do some research, and and you know, I thought,

286
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.360
I can do I can do this, and I can

287
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.399
do this better, and I know how to serve people

288
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.600
and a significantly better in different way than how they're

289
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:00.639
being so right now.

290
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:01.879
So it's kind of a calling.

291
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.200
Yeah, absolutely, just like law enforcement.

292
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.559
It is calling. So do congressmen, if you're gonna be

293
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.039
a rookie in the Congress, do they do pranks on

294
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:11.440
each other?

295
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:14.960
You probably probably probably ready?

296
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.200
Yeah, yeah I will, God willing, I'm gonna be a

297
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:18.759
rookie again.

298
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:20.720
Yeah all right, I'm gonna ask for a commitment then

299
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:25.200
right now, Okay, if elected to Congress, any pranks, you encounter,

300
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.440
any pranks, then I'm gonna request that you come back

301
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:28.360
on the show and share.

302
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.120
Those guaranteed outstanding we.

303
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.799
You can you can telephone them in too. Yeah, like

304
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:37.000
if he's important stuff.

305
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.720
I will come. I will come to you when I'm home,

306
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:40.279
I will come. I will come back out.

307
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.679
Here, and I will your stories now joining us from

308
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.399
the Halls of Congress represented Brian.

309
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:51.360
Stall that even uh that even like Trump's a firefighter, right,

310
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.919
maybe depends everybody loves fireman. Everybody loves everybody loves the fireman.

311
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.399
Yeah, no, it's good to be a fireman.

312
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:02.000
Yeah.

313
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.879
Getting back to some of the stories, Brian, you you

314
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.159
were talking about your first traffic stop.

315
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:08.200
Did you ever conducted?

316
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:10.840
I was telling you about that earlier.

317
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.200
Let's share it.

318
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.320
Yeah, it was, you know, it's one of those stories

319
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.399
I think nowadays people would be fired over it, unfortunately,

320
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.080
you know, but it was a great learning lesson. So

321
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.120
I met my very first traffic stop ever on day

322
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:27.840
one out of the academy. It was like four hours

323
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.080
into the shift, and I pulled this this girl over

324
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.639
for running a stop sign. And I go up to

325
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.840
the car and I don't get any of the right information,

326
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:38.200
like none, like it's your first one.

327
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.480
It's my first one, you know. And so I go

328
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:41.120
back to the car.

329
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.200
My training officers like, you know, did you ask her this, this, this, this,

330
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.519
and this? And I was like, well no, and he's like, well,

331
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.000
go back up there and ask her, you know. So

332
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:51.320
I go up there and right when I get to

333
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.240
the car, I hear sirens in the distance, and so

334
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.919
now I'm getting like flustered because I I'm trying to

335
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.840
remember what to ask, but I really want to know

336
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:02.080
what going on, because like they're sirens, and I don't

337
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:02.639
want to miss it.

338
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.360
It's my first day.

339
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.240
There's got to be something really cool happening, right, So

340
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.080
I'm trying to ask her questions, and the sirens are

341
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.559
getting louder. So I'm trying to ride as fast as

342
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.480
I can. And you know, I probably asked you the

343
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.840
same question four times. I don't remember. But this card

344
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.120
running code comes around the corner down the street, and

345
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:25.399
now I'm confused, like I have no idea what's going on. Well,

346
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:28.200
he stops behind me and gets out, walks in front

347
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.320
of his car and slaps the back of my head

348
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.200
and says, turn your f and radio on, Rookie, and

349
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.559
gets back in his car and drives off. And I

350
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.720
look back at my training officer and he's crying, laughing.

351
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.360
Yeah, yeah, you can't can't do that anymore.

352
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:48.279

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.960

the website, cookdfw dot com. Anything new in your world, Daniel.

358
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.720
Steve, it's been hectic, has been busy, but we love

359
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:15.599
that and so we're ready to keep helping as many

360
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.400
people as we can.

361
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.799
And and you say it's you say you've been busy,

362
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.480
it's been hectic. Well, Daniel, you work with a lot

363
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:26.799
of a lot of clients, a lot of customers that

364
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.680
are working with their insurance company UH in order to

365
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:35.480
file claims. Wait, what kind of advice can you give

366
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.119
homeowners when it comes to insurance claims?

367
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.079
Insurance is scary and you should never do it by yourself.

368
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.359
That's the first two things that come to my head.

369
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.640
You know, everybody, there's always that myth that you know,

370
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.039
you know, insurances is going to be here for me

371
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.559
regardless of what happens to my house and my property,

372
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:56.759
and and it is intended to be that way, but

373
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.880
sometimes they don't look at the repairs sary to really

374
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.640
bring your property back, and sometimes they may not see

375
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:05.559
all the damage. Because you got to think about that,

376
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.319
you know, how many people are they seeing in an

377
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.480
average day when they come out to inspect your property,

378
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.119
are they going to be there for three hours?

379
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:13.400
Four hours to really.

380
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:16.200
Make sure they see everything. And so when you have

381
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:18.839
a contractor that you trust, as you know, it's gone

382
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.039
over your property already, they can walk hand in hand

383
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:25.720
with you and there and show them everything and make

384
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:29.519
sure that your property actually gets repaired back the way

385
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:31.799
it deserves to be done. So you don't want to

386
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.680
go alone, You don't want to try to, you know,

387
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:36.640
think that you are going to get taken care of.

388
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.119
You just need to make sure that you have somebody

389
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.480
on your side. We'd love to come out.

390
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:42.039
You know.

391
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:46.119
Obviously as a construction company, we can't talk about insurance policy.

392
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.079
We can't talk about coverage. That's not in our specialty

393
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.839
will and it's against the law. But we could definitely

394
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.880
tell you from a construction point of view, what your

395
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.240
property needs, how it needs to be repaired, why it

396
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.160
needs to be repaired, and then that way we can

397
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.880
tell the insurance company when they're out there, this is

398
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.000
what we're seeing, this is what it needs.

399
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:10.720
So yeah, definitely good advice, Daniel. Have you know, have

400
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:14.440
someone there with you, you know, someone experienced, you know,

401
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.599
that's that's something that you do quite a bit, Daniel.

402
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:18.519
Go out and talk to people. You know, Hey, do

403
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.119
I have enough damage to file acclaim?

404
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:21.599
Do I not?

405
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.079
Is there something underline that that's not obvious that is damaged?

406
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.680
Those are the kinds of things that you can help

407
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.759
people out with. If you're in need of a new roof,

408
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.640
roof repair, remodeling, or restoration, give Daniel a call. Cook

I love the lights, which I know they are cool. Yeah,

422
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.039
they are cool, you know that's what I did on motorcycles.

423
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:35.519
That's what I did.

424
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:37.599
Remember it looked like that though on your bike, No,

425
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.680
they didn't know.

426
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:41.640
And in the Harley lights first, the BMW lights and

427
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.000
the Honda, I'm totally different. Yeah. So it's just like

428
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:45.440
the writing.

429
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:48.720

flip on your line.

431
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.880

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:58.039

433
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:58.440

452
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:05.519
I think Curtis has some competition.

453
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.480
There is Curtis do that too? He does. He does

454
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:09.920
not as good, not as good now, not even close.

455
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.599
He's like an elementary kitch versus my, like varsity level. Okay,

456
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:16.279
so you can tell him that I will. I will,

457
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:16.839
he will.

458
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:18.880
He will probably watch the show and text me and

459
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.680
say way better.

460
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:20.079
Yeah.

461
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.319
Now he can sing better than me. He can definitely sing. Man,

462
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:24.359
that guy's got sing.

463
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.640
Wa wait wait wait, I think that's up to interpretation.

464
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.519
Who sings better? So, Josh, you've heard Curtis sing. But

465
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:32.599
go ahead, Josh, I don't want.

466
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.960
To break any type of tool instrument that you have

467
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:37.000
in here, and and I'm pretty sure that s CC

468
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:37.839
would shut us down.

469
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:39.599
Oh dang it.

470
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.680
Nice try though, Yeah it was a valid effort. Can

471
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:44.960
you get Curtis to sing on here or not?

472
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.440
Yeah? Okay, you can't get him to stop singing.

473
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:47.839
Yeah.

474
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:50.759
I wrote around in the car with him for about

475
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.119
a year, so okay, he can sing.

476
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:57.000
He absolutely can now he did tell a story about

477
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:01.319
a partner passing gas and uh, that you that was

478
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:04.279
not me. It was pretty epic if I remember.

479
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:06.559
Dang, you took that only back to like episode one.

480
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.160
You know that's what I do, steel trap, steal trap,

481
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.359
Steve still trap. I don't mess up names.

482
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.480
I can probably guess who he's talking about, because I'm

483
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.160
pretty sure I know. But it wasn't me, Okay, I

484
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.519
bet I would probably guess right.

485
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.119
And that was referencing back to Curtis in a squad

486
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:27.359
car with his partner passing gas and I think he

487
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:29.440
said he was singing the national anthem or something.

488
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:32.799
It was something I can't remember. Go back to season one. Yeah,

489
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.319
and we also get to see Steve pose with blue

490
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:35.960
bonnet butter.

491
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:40.200
Okay, we need we need to move on. These poor

492
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.559
listeners don't need to be that. I do want to

493
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.240
mention we got a couple of patches in We've got

494
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:50.000
one from Calgary Police Service and the other one from

495
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.559
the Warren County, Mississippi Sheriff's office. So both these were

496
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:58.319
actually given to us by wise county deputy who had these.

497
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:03.440
Deputy I believe is his name, So yes, thank you, sir,

498
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:05.759
we appreciate it. We'll get those hung up on the wall.

499
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.920
I love the story of love to know the story

500
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.240
of how you got Calgary.

501
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:16.519
Yeah, well was was Calgary? The the motor guys from

502
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.720
Canada that came down. Did you guys in Louisiana really

503
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.400
from Calgary?

504
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:21.079
You know?

505
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:24.039
I don't know where they were from. I can't remember, okay,

506
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:27.599
and I probably wouldn't say it right if I. For

507
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:29.680
some reason, I think they were northeast. I don't know

508
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:34.519
part of Canada, but I can't remember. I mean, that's all.

509
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:36.799
I mean. They wore their pretty ready uniforms and that

510
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:37.680
was pretty awesome.

511
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:40.000
Wow, why are they ride in their motorcycles?

512
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:44.759
Okay, no, they looked like us, So all right, it's

513
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:45.559
pretty boring.

514
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.319
Now and again, and not to get too far off track,

515
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.640
going back to one of our first episodes, you'd mentioned

516
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:54.480
going down there for the motor rodeo in Louisiana, and

517
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:56.319
you mentioned that you guys went out to an alligator far.

518
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:58.920
We did, and we already know that you handled an

519
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:00.160
alligator on a call.

520
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:05.119
I did. I did, And then we we had some

521
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:07.480
lemonade that we were drinking.

522
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:09.480
Okay, wait a minute, we were talking alligators and you

523
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:10.720
just went off to the lemonade.

524
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.119
I'm trying to make it sound like we're drinking beer.

525
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:16.640
And we went down on these peninsulas and I was

526
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:18.599
trying to trying to be nice and you know, like

527
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.960
professional and all that, like little peninsulas and there's a

528
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:24.240
guy with a stick and he said it's it's it's

529
00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:26.119
kind of like Super Mario Brothers. If you turn your

530
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.519
back on the alligator, he'll come after you. And he

531
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.200
has the stick and he just like poked this, poked the alligator.

532
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:36.000
Because that doesn't piss it off, right, I mean, like

533
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.799
I said, we're drinking a little bit. We'd had some

534
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:43.200
good Cajun food, and uh, we were all getting a

535
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.319
chance to pull and that it looks weird. We were

536
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:47.799
all like pulling on the tail and you know, all

537
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.079
pulling on the tail and trying to lift it and everything,

538
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:54.759
and it was man, those things are stout. Yeah, but

539
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:56.319
uh yeah, that was nice.

540
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.240
And I brought that up just because you mentioned the

541
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.480
guys from Canada and you told us that they came

542
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:02.799
down to the motor rodeo with you guys. What did

543
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.839
the guys from Canada think about the alligators.

544
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:06.359
You know, I don't think they were at that one.

545
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:09.400
I think because so the alligator farm got shut down

546
00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:13.160
because every time would flood down to that area, the

547
00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:15.599
alligators would get out. Well, they had a lot of

548
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:17.920
really nice homes in that area, so the people of

549
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:20.680
the really nice homes didn't love the alligators.

550
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:22.839
God go imagine that.

551
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.839
Yeah, no, thanks, I don't want to find an alligator

552
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:28.759
in my house after a heavy rain.

553
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.920
And and uh, you know there's a picture of Mark

554
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.599
Lemon's who's been a guest on the show Wrestling and

555
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:38.039
Alligator too. I think I think I sent that to you. Really. Yeah,

556
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:40.279
we'll have to we'll have to get that back on. Yes,

557
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.960
he looks a little bit younger then.

558
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:48.599
To be continued on that. Yes, okay, moving right along now, Brian,

559
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.279
I understand you've got a story about a vehicle pursuit.

560
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:54.599
I do you know what it's.

561
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.359
It's a funny story, but I was never actually involved.

562
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.000
Those are the best.

563
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:02.920
Yeah, so no, meet undo their officer.

564
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.960
We were at the station working on an arrest report

565
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:07.880
or something, and we were up in the report writing

566
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.680
room and you know, we hear the radio that Dallas

567
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:13.880
is in pursuit approaching our city.

568
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:14.599
You know.

569
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:19.119
A couple of minutes later, there's a little bit of

570
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:23.000
chatter about the pursuit, I mean nothing like they weren't

571
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.720
really requesting assistants or anything. And so this officer gets

572
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.160
up and and you know, he pushes away from the

573
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:31.839
computer and he he disappears, and I figured he was

574
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:37.680
going to the bathroom or whatever, you know, And about

575
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:40.160
ten minutes later he comes back and sits back down

576
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:40.839
and just.

577
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:45.400
Like starts typing and like, yeah, okay, I.

578
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.200
Didn't think anything of it, you know, And come to

579
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:50.759
find out, what he did was is he went downstairs,

580
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:52.519
got in his car, and drove up to the freeway,

581
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.680
and when the pursuit was approaching, he threw his spikes

582
00:27:55.680 --> 00:28:00.119
across the freeway and then left them and spiked two

583
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:01.559
or three DPD.

584
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:03.599
Cars and like four or five civilian cars. But then

585
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:04.279
he just left.

586
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.880
He just went back to his police car, drove back

587
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:10.480
to the station and sat down and started typing. And

588
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.640
and it didn't take long for people to find out,

589
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.079
like where in the heck did these spikes.

590
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:17.920
Randomly appear from?

591
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.640
And wonder not it?

592
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.839
Yeah, so it was it was It was a funny story,

593
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:25.480
you know, they were asking on the radio for a while,

594
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:26.680
like who threw these spikes?

595
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:28.160
And he just never know.

596
00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:29.720
He's trying to concentrate on his reports.

597
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:31.839
He's just up there writing a report like, Oh, I

598
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:33.119
wonder who spiked those people?

599
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:34.920
That's that's weird, that's weird.

600
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:37.960
The only thing better would have been you know, hey, man,

601
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.519
can I see your keys? Yeah?

602
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:42.400
If you want used mine? Yeah.

603
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:44.839
So, so was that before or after GPS or like

604
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:46.680
before GPS and all the cars.

605
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:49.440
Oh, it was way before GPS. Yeah, yeah, it was.

606
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.359
It was definitely before GPS. I don't even think all

607
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:54.000
of our cars had cameras at that point.

608
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:54.799
Wow.

609
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.240
Even better, Yeah, honestly, I know, well ours did because

610
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.119
we were both training on so we had cameras.

611
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:03.799
But is that back in the day where you had

612
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.680
the vhs and they actually had the on off switch

613
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:09.480
for whether or not it would come on with the

614
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:10.759
lights or you could.

615
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.160
Yeah, manually crazy. It was the good old days, good

616
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:20.400
old days, not anymore now. An officer, and it like

617
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:23.160
clicks on your camera and every time many.

618
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.680
Everything turns your camera on. And I know I've mentioned

619
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.000
it before when the last half of my career I

620
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:32.000
was actually in the station or I had an office

621
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.759
in the station. I was never there, but there's a

622
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:37.920
bathroom right across the hall from from my office, and

623
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:43.400
that seemed to be the preferential facilities to use. Yeah,

624
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:48.240
wonderful location. But they upgraded all their body cameras where

625
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.720
we had all the sensors on your holsters. So if

626
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:51.720
you can holster, it turns on your camera. So these

627
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:53.519
guys would all go in there and go to the bathroom,

628
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.119
and I would see someone go inside the bathroom. I'd

629
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:58.039
be sitting there and I'd have my gun belt next

630
00:29:58.079 --> 00:29:59.599
to me on the floor. I just you know, just

631
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:01.359
like slack to go down the holster, put it back

632
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:03.680
real quick, because if mine triggers, then.

633
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.880
It's gonna around there. So yeah, and if the videos

634
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:09.640
less than two minutes, it has to be reviewed.

635
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:09.920
Yeah.

636
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.400
It's it's amazing how many of those videos are out there.

637
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.680
You know, like if somebody's going like let's meet up

638
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:20.839
at QT or wherever, and they're in there, you know,

639
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:23.319
going to the bathroom real quick, and their buddy shows

640
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:26.039
up and opens the driver's side door and activates their camera.

641
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.440
You know, it's that I can't imagine how many thousands

642
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:30.799
of those videos have to exist.

643
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.240
There was There was one of the officers I won't

644
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:38.240
say his name, and my my past agency, and he's

645
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.680
he's code brown right. Everybody know, everybody's warned. A duty

646
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.440
belt knows code brown, right. And so he's finds a

647
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:47.519
church and there's people in the church, and so he's

648
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:50.559
running into the church. That's not right. He's working nights,

649
00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:52.400
and so that he was, he was running into the church.

650
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:55.200
He just had to get somewhere, and somebody tries to

651
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:57.640
talk to him. He's he didn't realize his video was

652
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:00.839
on and so all this I didn't see the video,

653
00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:04.200
but I was. It was told many times. But then

654
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:06.680
he sat down finally and then there was like no

655
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.759
toilet paper, and he's like trying to get just little

656
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:13.319
bits of pilet paper, a little bits and toilet and

657
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:16.039
you know, the evidence is there. Yeah, that was not

658
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:20.200
brought up at his retirement though, Oh I'm sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.

659
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:21.279
A funny story about that.

660
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:24.759
Actually, there was a big house up in the northern

661
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:28.240
part of the city and there was an alarm call there,

662
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:31.880
huge house, and two of the officers get there and

663
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:33.920
and I found out about this like shortly after it

664
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:37.519
happened because it happened, right, and one offs like, hey,

665
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:38.880
I need to the bathroom real bad, like, and you

666
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:42.920
just watch out the bay window and if they show up,

667
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:46.440
holler at me. So the officers watching out the bay

668
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:49.400
window where there's a back driveway that they didn't know about.

669
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.000
And so the officer watching out the window gets, you know,

670
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.640
a tap on the shoulder from the homeowner.

671
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.039

a couple of people breaking into a concession stand at

773
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:06.239
a at a high school stadium. And I go around

774
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:08.840
the backside of the stadium and and see a car

775
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:11.280
match in the description and and they're loading their trunk

776
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:14.159
up and I only see one person, so I put

777
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:17.719
the car in park and get out and footchases on. Well,

778
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:20.199
there's another passenger in the car that happens to get

779
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.239
out too, and my dad happened to step out at

780
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:23.519
the time.

781
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:26.320
So your dad's with you. He's riding along with me, Oya.

782
00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:29.199
So he gets out and he just lights a cigarette

783
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.679
and and the other guy gets out of the car,

784
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:34.280
and I'm chasing the driver and we end up catching

785
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:37.360
him across the parking lot through the field, and you know,

786
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:39.599
there's a bunch of bunch of units coming to us.

787
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:41.199
And they finally get to me, and I tell one

788
00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:44.840
of the officers to go back to the car to

789
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:47.280
get the bag that they're throwing in the in.

790
00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:49.039
The suspects vehicles. See what they've got.

791
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.480
Yeah, So you know, this officer grabs this big trash

792
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:54.280
bag full of candy.

793
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:55.599
That's what they took, and.

794
00:37:57.239 --> 00:37:59.760
Yeah, yeah, I like it. That's there.

795
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:01.840
Yeah, So sheer seeds to bring it to us, but

796
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:05.320
she drags the bag across the parking lot and when

797
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.159
she gets to us, she lifts this empty bag up

798
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.239
and there's a trail of candy back to the car.

799
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.199
And then one of them asked me, well, where's the

800
00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:12.679
other guy at?

801
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:14.480

00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:21.920
guy is proned out on the sidewalk, hasn't moved, and

804

00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:36.800
easily gotten away here. And I have no idea to

810
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:38.880

829
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:25.599

831
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:30.199

We always as you were telling this story, I couldn't

837
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:46.800

838
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:49.880
trunk or treat because it is almost October.

839
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:52.199
