SHOW NOTES:
- The Cops television show was a reality TV show in which a camera crew followed police around. The police departments got final approval of what was included in the show but it was educational to see what police thought made them look good.
- District Attorneys are adjacent to cops, but aren't exactly cops.
- Training Day is a movie about Denzel Washington as a bad cop.
- Columbo is TV good cop who is completely non-violent and walks around being an unassuming disheveled genius and catching rich people who do murders.
- Lethal Weapon is a movie about two cops, one of whom is a "Lethal Weapon" because he's suicidal.
- Die Hard is a movie about an off-duty cop and an on-duty cop (who shot a child while on duty) learning to trust each other.
- Beverly Hills Cop a movie about a cop from Detroit who goes to Beverly Hills and puts a banana in the tailpipe of cops there.
- Movie cops are always good or at least necessary.
- England is a country where cops don't carry guns.
- We discuss gun ownership. In the USA, 3 in 10 adults say they own a gun. It's something like 40% of men and 20% of women.
- RoboCop is another movie about cops in which the police force has been privatized. It's fantastic and Ronny Cox from Beverly Hills Cop is fantastic in it as Dick Jones.
- The Pinkertons were founded as a sort of private police force to crush labor.
- Rod Lavers shoes are Adidas sneakers named for the great Australian tennis star Rodney Laver. The Australian Open is played in an arena named for him as well. They're fantastic shoes but the best ones are white and it's hard to keep them clean.
- Firefighters are people who fight fire. When Phil imagined a fire that hated firefighters he was thinking of a little stinker like this guy.
- Clowns are people trying to make other people laugh.
- Commandos are special military units.
