Speaker 1 (02:47):
I guess you got k why.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
But but it's not Kyle, right, yeah, because that would
be that would be terrible.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
But oh wow. Yeah, and I almost said, no pressure
for pronouncing this. Oh okay, wait, we need to move
let's move on here, guys. I do want to I
do want to thank survivor Gina Medland. She actually stopped
by this week and Gina gave me a gave me
(03:18):
a flask. Gina's husband, Darren, unfortunately was killed in the
line of duty. He was a Great Vine officer. He
was killed on June twelfth, two thousand and four. So
she brought a memorial bracelet by dropped that off. And
the guys that were at Great Vine PD, they have
an organization called Remembering Remembering the Fallen Heroes, so they
made some flasks. So Gina dropped one off. So thank you, Gina.
(03:42):
And the reason the reason Gina stopped by because if
you if you recall previous episode, Mark Vincent Mark is
a DRE instructor and he was actually teaching a DR
class in Cullyville this week and asked for volunteers to
come by and uh obviously partake in some beverages so
his students can test them. And he asked if I
(04:06):
could get some survivors to volunteer. Sold Karen said, Hey,
what do you think would they be interested?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
And she said you better believe it, So you commemorated
with a flask?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yes, So yes, a bunch of a bunch of the
ladies went out and helped out the DR class there
in Caliville this week, so they had a good time.
I was their designated driver, so yeah, we'll shout out
to them, thank you for your service. So yeah, no,
that that's great. The ladies like to be able to
(04:36):
give back to the profession, absolutely, and then that keeps
him in the loop because they are part of the profession.
Now I understand. Uh, okay, we are here. We record
on Fridays, and today is actually Friday, July the eleventh.
Someone in the room had a birthday yesterday to here.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yes, I don't know who that could be.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't either.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, it wasn't me, so I tried to stop counting birthdays,
but my family forced it upon me to celebrate. But no,
I turned forty five.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
He's senior plus category.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, I must senior Master's plus now, I guess.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah. And you know, Marcus, the one thing I would
like to share with you is that you know, you
don't count your birthdays until after you've completed that year.
So if that makes you feel a younger, No, you
don't start off at one. You have to go three
hundred and sixty five days before you get to that one.
So well, I mean technically it's like what seven hundred
(05:39):
and fifty months or do you want to go that route? So, wow,
it's a lot of money. My brain's hurting's slow down
on that one more math? Okay, And in Marcus, you
are an officer? What agency do you work for?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Fort Worth?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
For Worth? How long you've been over there?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Twenty one years now? See that my may have two
thousand and four, may.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Have two thousand and four, so you've been there for
quite some time. How many years are gonna try to get.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
In twenty five?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I've got a countdown on my phone. I've got three years,
three years and ten months I went.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I had a countdown prior to my retirement. It's great
because when if you crossed that, you actually crossed the
last day of the year prior. Then it says you
have one less year to goat although it was only
one day that went by, you feel like, ah, I
dropped a year.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And I was watching that countdown too, just recently.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That is nice. Coinrich, Yes, sir, excellent, job excellent? You
are a lieutenant correct something like that. That's what they
tell me.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Made himself important?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Wow, and you're with Fort Worth as well? Yes? Okay,
how long have you been over there twenty two years.
Twenty two years. You have a countdown going, well, about
nine years. I'm going to do the drop. Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I started pretty young, so I've got kids going through
college and everything. So I'm gonna do thirty one. That's
the goal.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He's management. It's easier.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, I'm glad. I'm glad Marcus went there because I
I'm the equipment manager.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
He is.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
About any special assignments, Why you guys have been over
for Worth so well we've done.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Uh well, Marcus did the d n C or the
RNC in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
H Yeah, that's so sorry. Midnights, you know, worked the
street and all that. And then I went to the
bike unit for some years and then now I got
a desk job for I manage our fleet. But during
the bike team, yeah, we did the Actually I went
to Obama's inauguration way back when, and I did the
(07:52):
first rn C and what else I think I was
that was it for special events? Yeah, I mean all
the local protests and all that stuff. But getting out
of the state, I went to d C and then
I went to the Cleveland r n C.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Any any special assignments during your time at Fort Worth,
I know you've you've been on the cycling team.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's about it. I mean my hobby is is taking
over my job. Basically, I went to you know, working
midnights and and evenings on on regular patrol, and then
after that, after I found a bicycle it, then I
went to the bike unit and then I stayed there
as long as I could until I got kicked out.
And then no, no, no, not by him as previous management.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That's what sort of subject.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
One of one of them's in jail actually, so oh.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Wow, okay, and any other assignments set.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Not not by me.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
So I was an officer in patrol, did seven years.
It was an FTO in that time, went to schools
for a while, needed it. Don't knock schools, right, okay, uh.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
It was a lot of it had to do with
childcare issues. I was a single dad with two young daughters,
so rather than put a burden on patrol or whatever,
I went to a school unit and was able to
uh spend time with the with the family and take
care of the kiddos.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So then I promoted.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I went into the burglary unit on east side, the
detective unit, and from there was able to go to robbery.
So I spent almost three years in robbery before I
promoted a sergeant, and then spent six years as a
sergeant back in schools.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So my career is a lot less interested.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And then then I went to lieutenant and then came
to the bike unit. I think I started. I'd always
loved bikes, you know. The thing I love about cycling
is you feel like you're a kid again, you know.
And so so back in like two thousand in nine,
I went through well, before I was a police officer,
I was. I worked for City Center Security downtown Fort
(10:08):
Worth and they have all their they have all their
employees go through LIBA at the time and get Mountain
Bike certified. And so then in two thousand and nine
I went through it again with the with the city
and I had tried to get out of the bike
in in a few times and then when the opening
came up. Well, when I was first a sergeant, I
(10:29):
was a bike sergeant on West Seventh as well, and
that was a small unit. We only had like four guys,
and we would we would kind of we would kind
of goof off when it was cold in the winter
and we'd play ping.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Pong and far this out there. I started that year.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He did yes, and then uh so he kind of
owes you yes and then and then so once I
was able to be a lieutenant, they're like, hey, do
you want to be ab with the bike in I
was like, absolutely hundred percent. So we went to the
R and C recently up in Milwaukee. Uh now we're
kind of gearing for the World Cup. A lot of
what we do involves public order protests and all that.
(11:05):
So during the you know, summer of twenty twenty, we
had I think like sixty five straight days of protests
and then and now we've knocked it down. We're at
about like fourteen anywhere from ten to fourteen a year
that we get on average, and it's kind of kicked
up this year with everything that's gone on.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So we just we handle that and then we're gearing
up for World Cup next year. That never a dull moment.
Never dull moment. Now, both you guys obviously are avid cyclists.
I know you both from the Texas Peace Officers Memorial Ride,
and that's that's actually something that I co founded back
in twenty thirteen, and it's it's a bicycle ride one
(11:49):
hundred and fifty miles over two days where we honor
our Texas fallen officers and raise raise funds for their
families that we donate to the Concerns of Police Survivors Organization.
And you guys have been there for a long time.
You know, we do the event every year in conjunction
with our Texas Peace Officer Memorial there at the Capitol.
(12:10):
And you guys have always represented Fort Worth well, but
that that's how that's how we met. And I guess, uh, Kinrich,
there you go twice kind of Coinrich. You've got a
story about the uh, the Texas Peace Officers Memorial, right, correct,
I got a few, but uh, we'll get into one.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
So this was so was it not this past ride
this April, but the year before was the first year
back from COVID correct the year before, yes, yeah, so
as uh, there was one route we did. It was
from from Fort Worth to Dallas and then uh and
that oh my gosh, that day was so hot.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, and you know we took that route because
as then Mayor Price, Yeah, she requested it one it
one and done. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, Well, and then we were riding on the access
roads whole time. That's when we got down down and
we got heled on had helmets. Yeah, so it was
ninety five the first day. Then the next morning we
start out in Texas and it hails on us and
it's like forty degrees and of course, God bless her.
What did Mayor Betsy do? She got in her tahoe
(13:21):
and drove to the next rest stop. It was like
I don't need cold.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow. It's like, hey, I don't blame you. I wouldn't
do cold either. We love you, Betsy.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah, she has been a great supporter. But so last
so last year was the first year back. And so
typically when we stop in Lockhart, there's like a park
where where we can go and have a rest stop
and there's a lot of bathrooms in the park. Well,
last year that park was being renovated, I guess, and
so we couldn't use it. So it had to roll
(13:50):
into downtown Lockhart and uh use the fire station as
a bathroom. Of course, there's only one stall for the
men and women. It's an old firehouse. I'm gonna lose it. Yeah,
it's a closet. Yeah, and so there's a super long line. Well,
we had been out at Hooters the night before in
Saint Marcus, and we were telling stories and I love
(14:11):
hot spicy food and I can't say no to three
Mile Island sauce.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
So nothing like hot spicy food. And then go ride
your bike. Yeah, go ride your bike. So you know
what could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Breakfast? Breakfast happens. Uh, caffeine kicks in. We get to
Lockhart and I'm like, I.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Got to hear that guy.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Dude, I gotta go to the bathroom. And so I'm
trying to hold it. I'm trying to hold it. I'm
trying to hold it, and I'm like, I don't think
I can hold it anymore. Like this is like what
we call an AG ninety nine yea right, yeah, so
I'm doing AG ninety nine full. I'm like, hey, guys,
fire guys, is there any other And it's it's like
what seven in the morning in Lockhart at that time,
because that's our second stop, right yeah, so because we
(14:53):
left we leave at six. Yeah, so it's like seven
seven thirty and uh, I tell those fire guys like,
is there anywhere? Like there is a bathroom upstairs, So
I go up there. I try to take care of
as best as I can. They're like, just don't mess
in the bathroom. I was like, I can't make any promises.
So I'm up there. I'm like, this is taking a
(15:15):
really long time. And we were on a tight schedule.
And so I come down and everybody's gone, I mean
you're talking, you know, seventy guys plus the plus the
motors guys everything. There's one San Antonio Motors that stuck
with me. And I was actually a ride marshal for
that ride. So I had a radio.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'm like, hey.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Of range, Yeah, out of range. So I'm so he's like, hey,
come on. So I pretty much motor pace him all
the way back. And that's kind of how I learned
how like all these Tour de France rogers, see how
they catch back up to the peloton when they go
to the bathroom. But man, it was it was a
close call. I was a good let's get two miles
behind you guys, and so I was now so I
(16:01):
was yeah, and had the extra horse power, so it
was it was good.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
But that was time. And I mean he wasn't nervous
as crap either, because there was empty tank, empty tank.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the chief came in. Who
in the heck, u's my bathroom. I left it clean.
I promise I cleaned up. I was like, okay, I
can't do this to them. But yeah, it was yeah,
good old spicy hooters.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Think you gotta watch out though, firefighters like, yeah, we've
got a bathroom upstairs in the back. Come on up.
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Who you already have a poll in the house.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, that's a good point. Fell for that one. Now
you guys have taken part in the World Police Games.
Just got finished with that, and you guys are out
there representing and tell us a little a little bit
about that. I mean, I understand Mark, she told me
earlier there in Birmingham this year.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
So this was our second edition of going to the Games,
and it's the world It's basically the Olympics for first responders.
I mean, every entry in the world shows up. This
is our our second edition. The first one we went
to was too. It's every two years. So two years
ago I was in Winnipeg, Canada and that was our
first one and we had a blast. It was fun.
We got a few metals, we raced, and then went
(17:15):
again this year. It was just two weeks ago, and
of course, you know, the racing this year was a
lot more intense, a lot more competition. But you know,
and I had found it online. It was just you know,
I was working in the bike. I don't remember where
I was working, but where I was not working because
(17:36):
I was surfing the internet. But yeah, I just found
it and I brought the the info to the guys
and hey, do you want to go and let's raise
some money. So that's how we that's how we found it.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
So you guys got out there. Now I understand there
at the at the Games, you actually you actually did
good in the mountain biking competition.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, this year I got second in the mountain bike.
So they they divide up the races. There was a
few different races, so they my race was thirty year
olds to fifty nine year olds and then they award
medals by age groups within that.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Wait a minute, you just had a birthday, same age
group next.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Year or different age group next year.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
He goes up. Is there a lot of mountains in Birmingham?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
There was, There was some hills.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
There's a lot of hills.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Is really Birmingham is the hottest, most disgusting place I've
ever been.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
We were riding our bikes.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I was about to say that I feel bad for
the people that like from Belgium and stuff that come
over and like we show you all this stuff and
you come to our in our country and then we're
taking you to Birmingham, Alabama for our country.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Well, I say it was. It was very clean, very
nice place. But just the what like trees everywhere, beautiful right,
lots of hills. It fools you mean to think you
think you're in the mountains, but it's only like five
hundred feet in elevation. It's just the trees are so
tall and there's so many of them. There is zero wind,
and it's like five percent humid.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
The it's not like it's July or anything.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
No, no, well that doesn't it doesn't hurt either. But
like even you know, you go to the coast like
Houston or New Orleans, places that you normally associate with,
you know that nastiness. At least there's an ocean breeze, right,
there was nothing. It was It was so still.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Alabama's one got that little spot at the end, Yeah,
touches the water and that's all.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
They thought about. It was five hours away.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
So we're doing the like we're doing the time trial,
and you know, we both have like they're basically like
carbon boat shoes. There's just full carbon tubs and there's
no ventilation and they were just filling sweat could literally
pours out sweat out of it. It was so gross.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And this is fun.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, type type for fun. I think it
goes beyond type two fun at that point. But yeah,
he did. He did awesome. He did the They basically
it's like a series. Every day is a race. There
are no off days the whole entire week. If you
signed six races and it's each day.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah. So and Marcus, you you did good in the
mountain biking and I mean you can't fully prepared to
for that race? Correct?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Absolutely so packed everything I had packed the van, I
had every I had, spare everything. Until we got to
the mountain bike race. I pulled my stuff out and
I couldn't find my shoes and I remembered I forgot
my shoes and it just just I don't have the flags.
It's their special you know, shoes. Cycling shoes were clips
(20:24):
into your pedals and whatnot. But so we spent I
got on Google. I was like, let me find a
bike shop. See we can find some shoes. So I
was searching all whichever bike shop was close by. Ended
up going and I walked into the store. Of course
they have a bunch of shoes, and looking at them
price two fifty three hundred, I was like, I'm not
paying this. So I ended up fine out a pair
(20:46):
of shoes that was decently priced, and then so I
bought them. I was like, oh, I'm thinking maybe I
can borrow somebody's pedals or whatnot, because I'm not going
to go and spend another three hundred dollars on pedals
and cleats and all that. Well, I ended up not
buying them and didn't find anybody. And then so I
get to the check in. I was like, I get
to the lady, who's like, here, I'm here to check in,
but I don't know if I'm gonna ride because I
(21:07):
forgot all my equipment, all my stuff, so but I'm
just gonna take my number for a souvenir. She goes, well,
I have pedals and shoes in my car. You can
borrow them. I was like, that would be amazing. So
she goes and she gets her shoes, takes her cleats off,
her off her shoes, she pulls her pedals off her bike,
and lo and behold I get second place.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
So well done?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah it was. It was nice and you know I
thanked her and everything so very nice.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
It's funny how you always forget something for a bike
event because he's so he calls me, He's like, hey,
can you take my chain and wax my chain for
the next day? Whoa chain waxing?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Going on?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Ocean breeze?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Wax?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I gotta smell good?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Okay? Why? Only the best? Only the best. This is Offbeat,
the light side of law enforcement. Check us out online
at offbeatcopshow dot com. Let's talk to Daniel Cook now
from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. Eight three three Cook
DFW is the phone number, the website cookdfw dot com.
(22:19):
How are you doing, Daniel?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Doing great?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Thank you so much. Man. Now, I know you work
with a lot of clients who have filed insurance claims.
What advice can you give someone in regards to two
insurance claims?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Well, insurance is scary, especially for your property. You know
a majority of our clients, you know, unfortunately, have had
an auto claim, you know with the car getting you
know in a rec or something like that, or you know,
they've they dealt with insurance as far as health coverage
things like that, but when you deal with it for
your property, it's totally different, and a lot of people
(22:58):
are just don't know what to expect. And so that's
where we kind of come in. Now, you know, there's legalities.
As a contractor, I can't speak about policy. I can't
speak about coverage. I can't speak on certain you know,
actions that the insurance company does. But we can't help
you from a contractor point of view to let you
know what your actual claim needs to have done. And
(23:20):
so that's where we come in hand. We want to
educate our consumers that you know, just because you have
roof damage doesn't mean you don't have other damage. And
when you have a weather event at your home, it's
all your property that's covered, not just your roof. That's
your gutters, it's your windows, your window screens, your AC unit,
your garage door, your fence, there's so many your personal property.
(23:43):
I mean, I've seen it where people's canopies are something
like that, you know, soft cloth patio covers, barbecue grills.
There's so many things that could get damaged in a claim,

got called up to and deployed to Kerrville. And obviously
we've Kerrville has seen some major devastation, major devastation lately,

flooding that happened, and you know, we were thinking about
all those families who lost loved ones down there, those
that are still missing, and just you know, our hearts
go out to all those folks and also our first
(28:52):
responders down there working. I've seen a lot of photos
lately on social media of guys down there searching, and
that's you know that that does a lot. It takes
a lot to be able to do that. It takes
a lot to be able to process process that scene once.
Once you're finished down there, I mean, those are images
(29:14):
that they're going to be They're gonna be burned in
your brain for a long time. So I look forward
to hearing from Lauren and seeing if there's any need
down there. She did. I talked to her earlier on
the week, and there's a lot of people that are
collecting goods and stuff to send down there, and she said, really,
she said that the need is the monetary support. So
(29:37):
there's several different places out there where you can donate.
Salvation Army is one of those. But just make sure
you do do your research. If you're going to donate,
make sure that that it's going to a legitimate one
of the legitimate associations down there. But yeah, our hearts
prayers go out to all those affected by the floods
down there, and as well as our first responder down

Speaker 1 (30:10):
That's four. You're done. You're golden. Now we're set. I'm trying. Yeah,
I'm I'm trying on this one. Man. Now, you mentioned
you had some stories in regards to nicknames. Oh yeah,
so you know it's funny how I like the excitement there.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, Well it's like it's funny how
just that camaraderie build with with officers in the academy,
right that you go through. I mean, you really do
get tight with with all the people in there, and
it's just funny how those nicknames stick with you forever. Right,
and so a couple of so, I got a nickname.
One of my buddies says, nickname. They had another guy
who wasn't uh wait.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Wait, wait a minute, dude, you just kind of skipped
over that. You said, I've got a nickname, Make sure
I do. He's trying. He's trying to set it up. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
So, so you know, everybody gets up there and we're
all goofy. You know, we're all young, and we're introducing ourselves.
And we had one guy in our class. He's like, oh, uh,
what was your job? You know before you replease, you know,
everybody introduced us.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So I was like, oh, I was in corporate America,
you know, like real, real start, you know, I was
a corporate America.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Sound fancy, Yeah it does right. You're like, okay, well,
you know what were you like financially? He's like, no,
I was a bank teller, and so corporate America. So
that was his nickname from then on, Corporate America all
through the rest of it. He couldn't he could not
live it right, Corporate corporate America. So it was just like, oh,
corporate America every time he would answer, and we'd all
(31:35):
give him heck, you know, okay, corporate America, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
And then my other buddy, he has a he has
a mole on his back.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
It's it's got its own personality, and uh so, how
do we know about this ball? Well, you know, a
bunch of dudes showering together every day. We're not going
back to the ky Yeah, we're not going back to Kyu.
He he affectionately became known as Meatball, and he's still Meatball.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Was there somebody's job to comb the mole every day
since they didn't have hair.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Hair. He was he wasn't Harry back then. Now we're
all older, of course, but he's I had his.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
I mean, uh, and then my boss used to uh
make all these little cartoon drawings and uh he was
so good at it. He would just sit there and
have like sketching class and uh, like a picture of
the meatball, like talking and class. He couldn't stay serious.
(32:38):
I mean, our class was just out of controler. It's like,
you guys are helpless. So my nickname came about. One
day we're we're doing it well. It was like the
first day of running. So they make you do runs,
and then we had to do push ups and pull
ups every day. Well pull ups weren't really part of
the physical assessment at the time, but you had to
(33:00):
do and believe it or not, Like you had to
do like ten pull ups without assistance, and then you
had to get to where you could do more and
more and more. So the very first day, everybody's nervous.
I do like, and then you do like, and then
if you couldn't do them, somebody helped you finish.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
That was me yeah, I had. I had to get
help that day.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I can only do like five and so, and then
they have the varying levels of pull up bars. Well,
I got in the line with the super tall pull
up bar, and obviously I'm not super tall.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
So I jump up there.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I'm doing my pull ups and I get to I
get to like four, and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
And I go help.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
And so my fellow, one of my fellow academy budies,
he starts grabbing me and he's helping me do the
pull ups. I get to the last one, I say
I'm done, and I let go and I just down
and hit the ground, knock the wind out of me.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And uh.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
And so my class counselor gave me the name of
Klapseki and uh, I'd like to go on with the
screwed up last name, so that one only she calls
me that still, you know she's about to retire to
But yeah, that was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Well, you know, a lot of the newer guys don't
have the privilege of what the levee was. And so
I remember when I was in the academy that we
need to run up there.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
They go.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
If you can't do any pull ups. Just let us know.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
We'll give you something that is going to be a
uh you know, something alternative.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
So I'd run up there.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
I was the fat guy, and they're like, you can't
do pull ups, Like, no, sir, give me three levees
like I'd rather do.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Try the pull ups, yes exactly, talking about the levee
along the Trinity rige. Yes. Yes.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
When they said three levees, that meant that three levees
meant all the way over all the way back that
was one, So you're you're basically doing it nine times.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
So then they able to do it backwards. Yes, yeah,
yeah that was But yet on the pull up, she
could have someone help assist you. You should have gone
for the pull up.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Well I wasn't smart. I didn't say I was smart too.
You can't be good looking and smart. You gotta pick ones.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Three things in life. Good looking, buffer hung Yeah, that's it.
This is the only choices.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Well, good thing on two of them.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I got nothing.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Okay, so you got the nicknames. You you also mentioned,
uh you you got a prank on a coworker.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Oh yeah, so me and my my running buddy back
in patrol. He hated snakes, so okay.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
So he's normal. He's normal. Yeah. So we get a call.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
This lady calls in about a snake and he's like, oh,
I'll go with you, but I'm not. I'm not going in.
I'm not getting a snake. And and we had a
family violence detective who was actually a Dallas too, herpetologist
before he was a police officer.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
So he'll have a jump. That is an interesting jump.
What was his nickname?
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Yeah, So he uh, he hears the call. Guy, he's like, hey,
is there thanking there? We're like, yeah, there's snake in here.
He's like, okay, I'm in route. So he gets his
little Steve Irwin or it was the other guy that
did the snakes all the time to the Corwin. It
brings his little Jeff Corwin stick in a in a
in a pillowcase.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
And he's like, okay, i'll get it. I'll get it.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
And it was a pretty good size rat snake, probably
like five feet and so he's like, hey, midnight roll
call is about to start.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Let's go throw.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
And so so the roll call room that was right
next to the detective's office, and there was and he
had the key because he's a detective and their doors locked.
So he's like, okay, we'll sneak in there. So it's
midnight roll call. They're all coming in there, you know,
kind of groggy whatever, and he opens the door and
throws that snake in the middle of.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Everybody just jump up.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I mean, you never seen a bunch of old heads
just at the top of the table so fast.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
And as he threw it right in there, we oh man,
it was good times.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Lucky he didn't have shots five. He's the fastest roll
call we ever had. Yeah, you got nothing to report shift,
nothing like a roll called desk pop. We've all we've
all had like the career calls. I mean there's always,
you know, some kind of critter in somebody's house. And
of course when he called that one one, they ride
it to us.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
And I remember why I had a critter call one
time where they we got a call and say, man,
we don't know what it is, we don't know. All
we know is that it's under this guy's dresser in
his house. It's got two really big eyes and it's
got like teeth. So at the time, I mean I
was I was fresh out of the academy with me
and my partner and we drive over to take a
look at it. And my partner is a little bit
more country than I was, so he was pretty eager.
(37:41):
And so we walk in there and we're we're on
just about guns drawn, but we're trying to figure out
where it's at. He's like, it's over there, underneath the
underneath the closet, you know, and the dresser. So my
buddy gets under and he looks and he's like, look
at Angus. I can see it, man, I can't tell
what it is either. So I get done and I
look at it and I'm like, and I don't know
what it is, but I don't know. There's something about
those teeth, so if I He gets his baton out
and he's like, all right, we're gonna see if we
(38:02):
can get this thing coaxed out. So he gets his baton,
he starts messing with and alsodden. He starts pulling yours.
It was a sock that.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Would have been lodged Undernate there, and it'd been there
so long that it had fur. But what were the eyes?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
It was just the way it was glistening, I guess
because it was like a dress sock and I'm just like,
but it looked pretty damn real.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
We're looking at We'm like, I don't know what this
is gonna be. Let's get it out of their boys.
Even when you shine the light on it.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Yes, it had like a flick or to it just
had dust and dark hair and everything. Oh my gosh,
thank you pork chop. I was expecting it to be
a giant bunny with fans.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Man. We were expecting worse than that.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah, Like, here's the number of animal Control.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, no, I I deferred a lot to animal control,
especially in the daytime, you know, nighttime, when our nighttime folks,
animal control was on call. They could be there in
an hour kind of thing. But yeah, during the day,
started animal control soon as the call comes out and
you can dispatch to it. Yeah, no, go ahead and
transfer that to animal control.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Yeah, used to.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
We used to go to him just because we were
the first on scene. We just wait for animal Control
because most time our animal control will show unless we're there.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
So we had a female that just didn't she picked
up anything. I mean, she took pictures with raccoons, just
holding raccoons, holding possums.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Oh yeah, she'll she's a taxi dermist on the side
that she'll just yeah, no, no, she was a Yeah,
she's like the real real life prairie prairie woman. I
mean she can knit you a hat out of that
possum skin, you know.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
So she's a taxidermistyat an officer.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Oh and more like she's amazing. She'll like make a
homemade bread for the station.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
You know.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
She was like, I made this sour dough bread with
Japanese wheat, and I mean like it's it's amazing. I'm like,
what do you needs your own TV show?
Speaker 1 (39:56):
She definitely needs to be a guest on the show.
I know who you're talking about. Yeah, that you do. Okay,
we need to get her contact information from you.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Oh yeah, Now we're her test test dummies for food.
I'll be like that's a winner. Eh, that one's you know, okay,
but she tries it and most of the time it's great.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
M speaking of food. Uh, you were talking about the
Hooter stories earlier, and I understand there's that there's more
to tell here.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Oh yeah, So of course after the ride, we all
kind of share our stories and.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Going back to the state ride. The state ride.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Yeah, but you know that's like our night to cut
it up a little bit and reminisce about everything. And
so we're at the Hooters and obviously since we only
had to walk to the hotel, when we remind everybody
that might have been some alcoholic beverage just shared. So,
just going back over some of the some of the things, yeah,
(40:51):
I'm sure anyone some of the things that happened in
in my career, they're just like funny and you're like,
you start putting together like there's quite a few. So
one of them is pretty hilarious. It was the partner
that I went on a call with the snake with
he and then he and his other buddy, we're we're
(41:11):
running calls together and they get this alarm calls open door,
and so they go out and that's buddy holds up
his gun. He looks at he looks at my partner.
He's like, this is why we do this job. And
and I'll say Art, my partner will call him Art.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
He goes, are you serious right now?
Speaker 4 (41:34):
And he's like yeah, He's like, okay, Cagney And then
I'm pretty sure they had an argument about who was
Cagney and who was lazy after that, But it was
just hilarious. And then they both went on to be
swat So, I mean, they're they're funny dudes, but it's
just like, this is why we do this job.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It looks at him, he's like, did you just do that?
Speaker 4 (41:52):
And then and then we'll get a little more graphic here,
so we'll just go, yeah, here we go. So first
one and we'll call him Officer Mike Offscer Mike came
from another agency. Officer Mike loved to chase myth. He
that's what he did. And uh, we were working east
Side and so a lot of that was heroin and
(42:13):
cracking all that, but he would go find the myth too.
So one day he gets this guy pulled over. He
knows he's a he knows he's a myth dealer. There's
some paraphernalia in the car. He's doing a search and uh,
up on the on the stick shift for the car,
going to use that bracelet real quick. He's there's like
(42:35):
this ring around the stick shift and he he knows
where this is going on. So he grabs the ring
and he's he's like frustrated with the guy. So he
starts kind of playing with the ring and he's like,

pacing back and forth. He's like, you tell me where

not talking a movie trailer. We're talking now, it's a
trailer trailer.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
So the only thing I only stories are life that
I have is involves bicycles. So this is involves bicycles again.
But so this goes back to our first trip to
the World Games up in Canada, and so that the trailer.
It's a it's a big box trailer holds a bunch
of bikes in It has all our gear and equipment.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
In it, except for your pedals and your shoes.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Except for the.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
Pedals and shoes. Yeah, there's no roof for that.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
So and it's hooked up to the trail, sitting out
in the parking lot of the hotel. And I don't
don't know, we got up early, we were out preparing
for the day or whatever it may be, or late
at night, I can't remember. But so me and uh
lieutenant go out there and and he gets into the
truck and I'm in the trailer doing whatever. And you
could see this wall of clouds coming in and it's like,
(49:20):
I don't know, I guess we'll make it. We'll make it.
And all of a sudden it opened up starts pouring
down rain. So he jumps in the truck. I'm in
the trailer, and of course it's tornado force, no tornado,
but the wind was whipping. It was crazy. The trailer
was rocking back and forth.
Speaker 4 (49:36):
It's completely dark in the trailer, by the way, it's
black on the entet.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
There's one skylight. It had a cover, had a cover
on it. The cover disappeared while I was in it.
But uh, and then after that, it's just starts pouring
down rain. I'm trying to text him on the phone
because he can't hear anything, like call him, and uh,
it was it was I thought I was gonna die.
Speaker 4 (49:57):
Yeah, So the water is just pouring in the vent
from all directions and he's like hiding, trying and like
literally no clue, like are we flying? Are we you know?
I mean it was just it was bad. I was like, dude,
we're not. We haven't moved yet. Still felt like the
black gate was up. You were like, use the side door. Yeah,
the side door, right, So so the side door slam
shut and he's like I'm stuck in here, like that
(50:20):
was the other thing. You got stuck because the lock
was external, and I'm like, I'm not getting out soil
it's done. So just took off in the truck.
Speaker 1 (50:32):
Yeah, luckily it was still hitched.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
We we were parked at a hotel and casino there
in Winnipeg, and they gave us like this whole little
area of the parking lot, so we pretty much just
like put the lock on and prayed to God.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
No one stole the truck.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
It's actually the first time officially that a Fort Worth
police vehicle has crossed an international boundary. So that was
what was kind of cool about that. But yeah, it started.
I mean it was like a squall line. I mean
because Winnipeg is like Flags of Pancake and that's squall
on comes in and uh.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
That trailer was moving so bad it was I was
literally holding on riding out the storm. Trailers are rocking,
trailers are rocking, coming king. I mean, he does love bikes,
so you know, he's protected.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
Everybody. Everybody has their thing. We don't judge. Yeah, you're
you're in the truck checking out the radio stations and.
Speaker 4 (51:23):
You know, yeah, yeah, I'm like, oh yeah, this is nice.
I'm like, ride it out, buddy, we're almost done. He
got out in the hotel then, yeah, you've got ten
more minutes.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
When you're locked in, you can't get out.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
You can't get water, poorn in.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
But oh wow. Yeah, and I almost said, no pressure
for pronouncing this. Oh okay, wait, we need to move
let's move on here, guys. I do want to I
do want to thank survivor Gina Medland. She actually stopped
by this week and Gina gave me a gave me
(03:18):
a flask. Gina's husband, Darren, unfortunately was killed in the
line of duty. He was a Great Vine officer. He
was killed on June twelfth, two thousand and four. So
she brought a memorial bracelet by dropped that off. And
the guys that were at Great Vine PD, they have
an organization called Remembering Remembering the Fallen Heroes, so they
made some flasks. So Gina dropped one off. So thank you, Gina.
(03:42):
And the reason the reason Gina stopped by because if
you if you recall previous episode, Mark Vincent Mark is
a DRE instructor and he was actually teaching a DR
class in Cullyville this week and asked for volunteers to
come by and uh obviously partake in some beverages so
his students can test them. And he asked if I
(04:06):
could get some survivors to volunteer. Sold Karen said, Hey,
what do you think would they be interested?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
And she said you better believe it, So you commemorated
with a flask?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yes, So yes, a bunch of a bunch of the
ladies went out and helped out the DR class there
in Caliville this week, so they had a good time.
I was their designated driver, so yeah, we'll shout out
to them, thank you for your service. So yeah, no,
that that's great. The ladies like to be able to
(04:36):
give back to the profession, absolutely, and then that keeps
him in the loop because they are part of the profession.
Now I understand. Uh, okay, we are here. We record
on Fridays, and today is actually Friday, July the eleventh.
Someone in the room had a birthday yesterday to here.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yes, I don't know who that could be.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't either.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, it wasn't me, so I tried to stop counting birthdays,
but my family forced it upon me to celebrate. But no,
I turned forty five.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
He's senior plus category.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, I must senior Master's plus now, I guess.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah. And you know, Marcus, the one thing I would
like to share with you is that you know, you
don't count your birthdays until after you've completed that year.
So if that makes you feel a younger, No, you
don't start off at one. You have to go three
hundred and sixty five days before you get to that one.
So well, I mean technically it's like what seven hundred
(05:39):
and fifty months or do you want to go that route? So, wow,
it's a lot of money. My brain's hurting's slow down
on that one more math? Okay, And in Marcus, you
are an officer? What agency do you work for?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Fort Worth?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
For Worth? How long you've been over there?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Twenty one years now? See that my may have two
thousand and four, may.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Have two thousand and four, so you've been there for
quite some time. How many years are gonna try to get.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
In twenty five?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I've got a countdown on my phone. I've got three years,
three years and ten months I went.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I had a countdown prior to my retirement. It's great
because when if you crossed that, you actually crossed the
last day of the year prior. Then it says you
have one less year to goat although it was only
one day that went by, you feel like, ah, I
dropped a year.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And I was watching that countdown too, just recently.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That is nice. Coinrich, Yes, sir, excellent, job excellent? You
are a lieutenant correct something like that. That's what they
tell me.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Made himself important?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Wow, and you're with Fort Worth as well? Yes? Okay,
how long have you been over there twenty two years.
Twenty two years. You have a countdown going, well, about
nine years. I'm going to do the drop. Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I started pretty young, so I've got kids going through
college and everything. So I'm gonna do thirty one. That's
the goal.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
He's management. It's easier.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, I'm glad. I'm glad Marcus went there because I
I'm the equipment manager.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
He is.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
About any special assignments, Why you guys have been over
for Worth so well we've done.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Uh well, Marcus did the d n C or the
RNC in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
H Yeah, that's so sorry. Midnights, you know, worked the
street and all that. And then I went to the
bike unit for some years and then now I got
a desk job for I manage our fleet. But during
the bike team, yeah, we did the Actually I went
to Obama's inauguration way back when, and I did the
(07:52):
first rn C and what else I think I was
that was it for special events? Yeah, I mean all
the local protests and all that stuff. But getting out
of the state, I went to d C and then
I went to the Cleveland r n C.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Any any special assignments during your time at Fort Worth,
I know you've you've been on the cycling team.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's about it. I mean my hobby is is taking
over my job. Basically, I went to you know, working
midnights and and evenings on on regular patrol, and then
after that, after I found a bicycle it, then I
went to the bike unit and then I stayed there
as long as I could until I got kicked out.
And then no, no, no, not by him as previous management.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That's what sort of subject.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
One of one of them's in jail actually, so oh.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Wow, okay, and any other assignments set.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Not not by me.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
So I was an officer in patrol, did seven years.
It was an FTO in that time, went to schools
for a while, needed it. Don't knock schools, right, okay, uh.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
It was a lot of it had to do with
childcare issues. I was a single dad with two young daughters,
so rather than put a burden on patrol or whatever,
I went to a school unit and was able to
uh spend time with the with the family and take
care of the kiddos.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So then I promoted.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
I went into the burglary unit on east side, the
detective unit, and from there was able to go to robbery.
So I spent almost three years in robbery before I
promoted a sergeant, and then spent six years as a
sergeant back in schools.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So my career is a lot less interested.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And then then I went to lieutenant and then came
to the bike unit. I think I started. I'd always
loved bikes, you know. The thing I love about cycling
is you feel like you're a kid again, you know.
And so so back in like two thousand in nine,
I went through well, before I was a police officer,
I was. I worked for City Center Security downtown Fort
(10:08):
Worth and they have all their they have all their
employees go through LIBA at the time and get Mountain
Bike certified. And so then in two thousand and nine
I went through it again with the with the city
and I had tried to get out of the bike
in in a few times and then when the opening
came up. Well, when I was first a sergeant, I
(10:29):
was a bike sergeant on West Seventh as well, and
that was a small unit. We only had like four guys,
and we would we would kind of we would kind
of goof off when it was cold in the winter
and we'd play ping.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Pong and far this out there. I started that year.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He did yes, and then uh so he kind of
owes you yes and then and then so once I
was able to be a lieutenant, they're like, hey, do
you want to be ab with the bike in I
was like, absolutely hundred percent. So we went to the
R and C recently up in Milwaukee. Uh now we're
kind of gearing for the World Cup. A lot of
what we do involves public order protests and all that.
(11:05):
So during the you know, summer of twenty twenty, we
had I think like sixty five straight days of protests
and then and now we've knocked it down. We're at
about like fourteen anywhere from ten to fourteen a year
that we get on average, and it's kind of kicked
up this year with everything that's gone on.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So we just we handle that and then we're gearing
up for World Cup next year. That never a dull moment.
Never dull moment. Now, both you guys obviously are avid cyclists.
I know you both from the Texas Peace Officers Memorial Ride,
and that's that's actually something that I co founded back
in twenty thirteen, and it's it's a bicycle ride one
(11:49):
hundred and fifty miles over two days where we honor
our Texas fallen officers and raise raise funds for their
families that we donate to the Concerns of Police Survivors Organization.
And you guys have been there for a long time.
You know, we do the event every year in conjunction
with our Texas Peace Officer Memorial there at the Capitol.
(12:10):
And you guys have always represented Fort Worth well, but
that that's how that's how we met. And I guess, uh, Kinrich,
there you go twice kind of Coinrich. You've got a
story about the uh, the Texas Peace Officers Memorial, right, correct,
I got a few, but uh, we'll get into one.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
So this was so was it not this past ride
this April, but the year before was the first year
back from COVID correct the year before, yes, yeah, so
as uh, there was one route we did. It was
from from Fort Worth to Dallas and then uh and
that oh my gosh, that day was so hot.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, and you know we took that route because
as then Mayor Price, Yeah, she requested it one it
one and done. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah, Well, and then we were riding on the access
roads whole time. That's when we got down down and
we got heled on had helmets. Yeah, so it was
ninety five the first day. Then the next morning we
start out in Texas and it hails on us and
it's like forty degrees and of course, God bless her.
What did Mayor Betsy do? She got in her tahoe
(13:21):
and drove to the next rest stop. It was like
I don't need cold.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow. It's like, hey, I don't blame you. I wouldn't
do cold either. We love you, Betsy.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah, she has been a great supporter. But so last
so last year was the first year back. And so
typically when we stop in Lockhart, there's like a park
where where we can go and have a rest stop
and there's a lot of bathrooms in the park. Well,
last year that park was being renovated, I guess, and
so we couldn't use it. So it had to roll
(13:50):
into downtown Lockhart and uh use the fire station as
a bathroom. Of course, there's only one stall for the
men and women. It's an old firehouse. I'm gonna lose it. Yeah,
it's a closet. Yeah, and so there's a super long line. Well,
we had been out at Hooters the night before in
Saint Marcus, and we were telling stories and I love
(14:11):
hot spicy food and I can't say no to three
Mile Island sauce.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
So nothing like hot spicy food. And then go ride
your bike. Yeah, go ride your bike. So you know
what could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Breakfast? Breakfast happens. Uh, caffeine kicks in. We get to
Lockhart and I'm like, I.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Got to hear that guy.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Dude, I gotta go to the bathroom. And so I'm
trying to hold it. I'm trying to hold it. I'm
trying to hold it, and I'm like, I don't think
I can hold it anymore. Like this is like what
we call an AG ninety nine yea right, yeah, so
I'm doing AG ninety nine full. I'm like, hey, guys,
fire guys, is there any other And it's it's like
what seven in the morning in Lockhart at that time,
because that's our second stop, right yeah, so because we
(14:53):
left we leave at six. Yeah, so it's like seven
seven thirty and uh, I tell those fire guys like,
is there anywhere? Like there is a bathroom upstairs, So
I go up there. I try to take care of
as best as I can. They're like, just don't mess
in the bathroom. I was like, I can't make any promises.
So I'm up there. I'm like, this is taking a
(15:15):
really long time. And we were on a tight schedule.
And so I come down and everybody's gone, I mean
you're talking, you know, seventy guys plus the plus the
motors guys everything. There's one San Antonio Motors that stuck
with me. And I was actually a ride marshal for
that ride. So I had a radio.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'm like, hey.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Of range, Yeah, out of range. So I'm so he's like, hey,
come on. So I pretty much motor pace him all
the way back. And that's kind of how I learned
how like all these Tour de France rogers, see how
they catch back up to the peloton when they go
to the bathroom. But man, it was it was a
close call. I was a good let's get two miles
behind you guys, and so I was now so I
(16:01):
was yeah, and had the extra horse power, so it
was it was good.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
But that was time. And I mean he wasn't nervous
as crap either, because there was empty tank, empty tank.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the chief came in. Who
in the heck, u's my bathroom. I left it clean.
I promise I cleaned up. I was like, okay, I
can't do this to them. But yeah, it was yeah,
good old spicy hooters.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Think you gotta watch out though, firefighters like, yeah, we've
got a bathroom upstairs in the back. Come on up.
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Who you already have a poll in the house.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, that's a good point. Fell for that one. Now
you guys have taken part in the World Police Games.
Just got finished with that, and you guys are out
there representing and tell us a little a little bit
about that. I mean, I understand Mark, she told me
earlier there in Birmingham this year.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
So this was our second edition of going to the Games,
and it's the world It's basically the Olympics for first responders.
I mean, every entry in the world shows up. This
is our our second edition. The first one we went
to was too. It's every two years. So two years
ago I was in Winnipeg, Canada and that was our
first one and we had a blast. It was fun.
We got a few metals, we raced, and then went
(17:15):
again this year. It was just two weeks ago, and
of course, you know, the racing this year was a
lot more intense, a lot more competition. But you know,
and I had found it online. It was just you know,
I was working in the bike. I don't remember where
I was working, but where I was not working because
(17:36):
I was surfing the internet. But yeah, I just found
it and I brought the the info to the guys
and hey, do you want to go and let's raise
some money. So that's how we that's how we found it.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
So you guys got out there. Now I understand there
at the at the Games, you actually you actually did
good in the mountain biking competition.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, this year I got second in the mountain bike.
So they they divide up the races. There was a
few different races, so they my race was thirty year
olds to fifty nine year olds and then they award
medals by age groups within that.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Wait a minute, you just had a birthday, same age
group next.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Year or different age group next year.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
He goes up. Is there a lot of mountains in Birmingham?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
There was, There was some hills.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
There's a lot of hills.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Is really Birmingham is the hottest, most disgusting place I've
ever been.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
We were riding our bikes.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I was about to say that I feel bad for
the people that like from Belgium and stuff that come
over and like we show you all this stuff and
you come to our in our country and then we're
taking you to Birmingham, Alabama for our country.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Well, I say it was. It was very clean, very
nice place. But just the what like trees everywhere, beautiful right,
lots of hills. It fools you mean to think you
think you're in the mountains, but it's only like five
hundred feet in elevation. It's just the trees are so
tall and there's so many of them. There is zero wind,
and it's like five percent humid.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
The it's not like it's July or anything.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
No, no, well that doesn't it doesn't hurt either. But
like even you know, you go to the coast like
Houston or New Orleans, places that you normally associate with,
you know that nastiness. At least there's an ocean breeze, right,
there was nothing. It was It was so still.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Alabama's one got that little spot at the end, Yeah,
touches the water and that's all.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
They thought about. It was five hours away.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
So we're doing the like we're doing the time trial,
and you know, we both have like they're basically like
carbon boat shoes. There's just full carbon tubs and there's
no ventilation and they were just filling sweat could literally
pours out sweat out of it. It was so gross.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And this is fun.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, type type for fun. I think it
goes beyond type two fun at that point. But yeah,
he did. He did awesome. He did the They basically
it's like a series. Every day is a race. There
are no off days the whole entire week. If you
signed six races and it's each day.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah. So and Marcus, you you did good in the
mountain biking and I mean you can't fully prepared to
for that race? Correct?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Absolutely so packed everything I had packed the van, I
had every I had, spare everything. Until we got to
the mountain bike race. I pulled my stuff out and
I couldn't find my shoes and I remembered I forgot
my shoes and it just just I don't have the flags.
It's their special you know, shoes. Cycling shoes were clips
(20:24):
into your pedals and whatnot. But so we spent I
got on Google. I was like, let me find a
bike shop. See we can find some shoes. So I
was searching all whichever bike shop was close by. Ended
up going and I walked into the store. Of course
they have a bunch of shoes, and looking at them
price two fifty three hundred, I was like, I'm not
paying this. So I ended up fine out a pair
(20:46):
of shoes that was decently priced, and then so I
bought them. I was like, oh, I'm thinking maybe I
can borrow somebody's pedals or whatnot, because I'm not going
to go and spend another three hundred dollars on pedals
and cleats and all that. Well, I ended up not
buying them and didn't find anybody. And then so I
get to the check in. I was like, I get
to the lady, who's like, here, I'm here to check in,
but I don't know if I'm gonna ride because I
(21:07):
forgot all my equipment, all my stuff, so but I'm
just gonna take my number for a souvenir. She goes, well,
I have pedals and shoes in my car. You can
borrow them. I was like, that would be amazing. So
she goes and she gets her shoes, takes her cleats off,
her off her shoes, she pulls her pedals off her bike,
and lo and behold I get second place.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
So well done?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah it was. It was nice and you know I
thanked her and everything so very nice.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
It's funny how you always forget something for a bike
event because he's so he calls me, He's like, hey,
can you take my chain and wax my chain for
the next day? Whoa chain waxing?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Going on?

from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. Eight three three Cook
DFW is the phone number, the website cookdfw dot com.
(22:19):
How are you doing, Daniel?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Doing great?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Thank you so much. Man. Now, I know you work
with a lot of clients who have filed insurance claims.
What advice can you give someone in regards to two
insurance claims?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Well, insurance is scary, especially for your property. You know
a majority of our clients, you know, unfortunately, have had
an auto claim, you know with the car getting you
know in a rec or something like that, or you know,
they've they dealt with insurance as far as health coverage
things like that, but when you deal with it for
your property, it's totally different, and a lot of people
(22:58):
are just don't know what to expect. And so that's
where we kind of come in. Now, you know, there's legalities.
As a contractor, I can't speak about policy. I can't
speak about coverage. I can't speak on certain you know,
actions that the insurance company does. But we can't help
you from a contractor point of view to let you
know what your actual claim needs to have done. And
(23:20):
so that's where we come in hand. We want to
educate our consumers that you know, just because you have
roof damage doesn't mean you don't have other damage. And
when you have a weather event at your home, it's
all your property that's covered, not just your roof. That's
your gutters, it's your windows, your window screens, your AC unit,
your garage door, your fence, there's so many your personal property.
(23:43):
I mean, I've seen it where people's canopies are something
like that, you know, soft cloth patio covers, barbecue grills.
There's so many things that could get damaged in a claim,
and so that's what we're here for. We want to
educate you, we want to help you, we want to
walk with that that path down the insurance claim with
you and make sure you get fully covered.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
And that's that's the great thing about about you and
Cook DFWS that you guys are looking out for the
client's best interest. Make sure that Hey, if you've got
damage to other property other than your roof, that again,
like you just said, if it's covered by insurance, then
then it needs to be in there. A lot of
folks don't a lot of folks don't understand that. So
it's it's good to have someone with experience and knowledge
(24:29):
that can help you out. Give Daniel a call at
COOKDIFTW Roofing and Restoration for any of your roofing, remodeling
or restoration needs. The numbers eight three three Cook DFW,

got called up to and deployed to Kerrville. And obviously
we've Kerrville has seen some major devastation, major devastation lately,
(28:32):
and and just a terrible disaster down there with the
flooding that happened, and you know, we were thinking about
all those families who lost loved ones down there, those
that are still missing, and just you know, our hearts
go out to all those folks and also our first
(28:52):
responders down there working. I've seen a lot of photos
lately on social media of guys down there searching, and
that's you know that that does a lot. It takes
a lot to be able to do that. It takes
a lot to be able to process process that scene once.
Once you're finished down there, I mean, those are images
(29:14):
that they're going to be They're gonna be burned in
your brain for a long time. So I look forward
to hearing from Lauren and seeing if there's any need
down there. She did. I talked to her earlier on
the week, and there's a lot of people that are
collecting goods and stuff to send down there, and she said, really,
she said that the need is the monetary support. So
(29:37):
there's several different places out there where you can donate.
Salvation Army is one of those. But just make sure
you do do your research. If you're going to donate,
make sure that that it's going to a legitimate one
of the legitimate associations down there. But yeah, our hearts
prayers go out to all those affected by the floods
down there, and as well as our first responder down

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Kinrich, yes, sir, got it. Excellent, He's got the first

Speaker 1 (30:10):
That's four. You're done. You're golden. Now we're set. I'm trying. Yeah,
I'm I'm trying on this one. Man. Now, you mentioned
you had some stories in regards to nicknames. Oh yeah,
so you know it's funny how I like the excitement there.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, Well it's like it's funny how
just that camaraderie build with with officers in the academy,
right that you go through. I mean, you really do
get tight with with all the people in there, and
it's just funny how those nicknames stick with you forever. Right,
and so a couple of so, I got a nickname.
One of my buddies says, nickname. They had another guy
who wasn't uh wait.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Wait, wait a minute, dude, you just kind of skipped
over that. You said, I've got a nickname, Make sure
I do. He's trying. He's trying to set it up. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
So, so you know, everybody gets up there and we're
all goofy. You know, we're all young, and we're introducing ourselves.
And we had one guy in our class. He's like, oh, uh,
what was your job? You know before you replease, you know,
everybody introduced us.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So I was like, oh, I was in corporate America,
you know, like real, real start, you know, I was
a corporate America.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Sound fancy, Yeah it does right. You're like, okay, well,
you know what were you like financially? He's like, no,
I was a bank teller, and so corporate America. So
that was his nickname from then on, Corporate America all
through the rest of it. He couldn't he could not
live it right, Corporate corporate America. So it was just like, oh,
corporate America every time he would answer, and we'd all
(31:35):
give him heck, you know, okay, corporate America, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
And then my other buddy, he has a he has
a mole on his back.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
It's it's got its own personality, and uh so, how
do we know about this ball? Well, you know, a
bunch of dudes showering together every day. We're not going
back to the ky Yeah, we're not going back to Kyu.
He he affectionately became known as Meatball, and he's still Meatball.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Was there somebody's job to comb the mole every day
since they didn't have hair.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Hair. He was he wasn't Harry back then. Now we're
all older, of course, but he's I had his.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
I mean, uh, and then my boss used to uh
make all these little cartoon drawings and uh he was
so good at it. He would just sit there and
have like sketching class and uh, like a picture of
the meatball, like talking and class. He couldn't stay serious.
(32:38):
I mean, our class was just out of controler. It's like,
you guys are helpless. So my nickname came about. One
day we're we're doing it well. It was like the
first day of running. So they make you do runs,
and then we had to do push ups and pull
ups every day. Well pull ups weren't really part of
the physical assessment at the time, but you had to
(33:00):
do and believe it or not, Like you had to
do like ten pull ups without assistance, and then you
had to get to where you could do more and
more and more. So the very first day, everybody's nervous.
I do like, and then you do like, and then
if you couldn't do them, somebody helped you finish.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
That was me yeah, I had. I had to get
help that day.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I can only do like five and so, and then
they have the varying levels of pull up bars. Well,
I got in the line with the super tall pull
up bar, and obviously I'm not super tall.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
So I jump up there.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
I'm doing my pull ups and I get to I
get to like four, and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
And I go help.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
And so my fellow, one of my fellow academy budies,
he starts grabbing me and he's helping me do the
pull ups. I get to the last one, I say
I'm done, and I let go and I just down
and hit the ground, knock the wind out of me.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And uh.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
And so my class counselor gave me the name of
Klapseki and uh, I'd like to go on with the
screwed up last name, so that one only she calls
me that still, you know she's about to retire to
But yeah, that was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Well, you know, a lot of the newer guys don't
have the privilege of what the levee was. And so
I remember when I was in the academy that we
need to run up there.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
They go.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
If you can't do any pull ups. Just let us know.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
We'll give you something that is going to be a
uh you know, something alternative.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
So I'd run up there.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
I was the fat guy, and they're like, you can't
do pull ups, Like, no, sir, give me three levees
like I'd rather do.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Try the pull ups, yes exactly, talking about the levee
along the Trinity rige. Yes. Yes.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
When they said three levees, that meant that three levees
meant all the way over all the way back that
was one, So you're you're basically doing it nine times.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
So then they able to do it backwards. Yes, yeah,
yeah that was But yet on the pull up, she
could have someone help assist you. You should have gone
for the pull up.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Well I wasn't smart. I didn't say I was smart too.
You can't be good looking and smart. You gotta pick ones.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Three things in life. Good looking, buffer hung Yeah, that's it.
This is the only choices.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Well, good thing on two of them.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I got nothing.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Okay, so you got the nicknames. You you also mentioned,
uh you you got a prank on a coworker.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Oh yeah, so me and my my running buddy back
in patrol. He hated snakes, so okay.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
So he's normal. He's normal. Yeah. So we get a call.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
This lady calls in about a snake and he's like, oh,
I'll go with you, but I'm not. I'm not going in.
I'm not getting a snake. And and we had a
family violence detective who was actually a Dallas too, herpetologist
before he was a police officer.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
So he'll have a jump. That is an interesting jump.
What was his nickname?
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Yeah, So he uh, he hears the call. Guy, he's like, hey,
is there thanking there? We're like, yeah, there's snake in here.
He's like, okay, I'm in route. So he gets his
little Steve Irwin or it was the other guy that
did the snakes all the time to the Corwin. It
brings his little Jeff Corwin stick in a in a
in a pillowcase.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
And he's like, okay, i'll get it. I'll get it.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
And it was a pretty good size rat snake, probably
like five feet and so he's like, hey, midnight roll
call is about to start.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Let's go throw.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
And so so the roll call room that was right
next to the detective's office, and there was and he
had the key because he's a detective and their doors locked.
So he's like, okay, we'll sneak in there. So it's
midnight roll call. They're all coming in there, you know,
kind of groggy whatever, and he opens the door and
throws that snake in the middle of.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Everybody just jump up.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I mean, you never seen a bunch of old heads
just at the top of the table so fast.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
And as he threw it right in there, we oh man,
it was good times.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Lucky he didn't have shots five. He's the fastest roll
call we ever had. Yeah, you got nothing to report shift,
nothing like a roll called desk pop. We've all we've
all had like the career calls. I mean there's always,
you know, some kind of critter in somebody's house. And
of course when he called that one one, they ride
it to us.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
And I remember why I had a critter call one
time where they we got a call and say, man,
we don't know what it is, we don't know. All
we know is that it's under this guy's dresser in
his house. It's got two really big eyes and it's
got like teeth. So at the time, I mean I
was I was fresh out of the academy with me
and my partner and we drive over to take a
look at it. And my partner is a little bit
more country than I was, so he was pretty eager.
(37:41):
And so we walk in there and we're we're on
just about guns drawn, but we're trying to figure out
where it's at. He's like, it's over there, underneath the
underneath the closet, you know, and the dresser. So my
buddy gets under and he looks and he's like, look
at Angus. I can see it, man, I can't tell
what it is either. So I get done and I
look at it and I'm like, and I don't know
what it is, but I don't know. There's something about
those teeth, so if I He gets his baton out
and he's like, all right, we're gonna see if we
(38:02):
can get this thing coaxed out. So he gets his baton,
he starts messing with and alsodden. He starts pulling yours.
It was a sock that.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Would have been lodged Undernate there, and it'd been there
so long that it had fur. But what were the eyes?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
It was just the way it was glistening, I guess
because it was like a dress sock and I'm just like,
but it looked pretty damn real.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
We're looking at We'm like, I don't know what this
is gonna be. Let's get it out of their boys.
Even when you shine the light on it.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Yes, it had like a flick or to it just
had dust and dark hair and everything. Oh my gosh,
thank you pork chop. I was expecting it to be
a giant bunny with fans.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Man. We were expecting worse than that.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah, Like, here's the number of animal Control.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, no, I I deferred a lot to animal control,
especially in the daytime, you know, nighttime, when our nighttime folks,
animal control was on call. They could be there in
an hour kind of thing. But yeah, during the day,
started animal control soon as the call comes out and
you can dispatch to it. Yeah, no, go ahead and
transfer that to animal control.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Yeah, used to.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
We used to go to him just because we were
the first on scene. We just wait for animal Control
because most time our animal control will show unless we're there.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
So we had a female that just didn't she picked
up anything. I mean, she took pictures with raccoons, just
holding raccoons, holding possums.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Oh yeah, she'll she's a taxi dermist on the side
that she'll just yeah, no, no, she was a Yeah,
she's like the real real life prairie prairie woman. I
mean she can knit you a hat out of that
possum skin, you know.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
So she's a taxidermistyat an officer.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Oh and more like she's amazing. She'll like make a
homemade bread for the station.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
You know.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
She was like, I made this sour dough bread with
Japanese wheat, and I mean like it's it's amazing. I'm like,
what do you needs your own TV show?
Speaker 1 (39:56):
She definitely needs to be a guest on the show.
I know who you're talking about. Yeah, that you do. Okay,
we need to get her contact information from you.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Oh yeah, Now we're her test test dummies for food.
I'll be like that's a winner. Eh, that one's you know, okay,
but she tries it and most of the time it's great.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
M speaking of food. Uh, you were talking about the
Hooter stories earlier, and I understand there's that there's more
to tell here.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Oh yeah, So of course after the ride, we all
kind of share our stories and.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Going back to the state ride. The state ride.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Yeah, but you know that's like our night to cut
it up a little bit and reminisce about everything. And
so we're at the Hooters and obviously since we only
had to walk to the hotel, when we remind everybody
that might have been some alcoholic beverage just shared. So,
just going back over some of the some of the things, yeah,
(40:51):
I'm sure anyone some of the things that happened in
in my career, they're just like funny and you're like,
you start putting together like there's quite a few. So
one of them is pretty hilarious. It was the partner
that I went on a call with the snake with
he and then he and his other buddy, we're we're
(41:11):
running calls together and they get this alarm calls open door,
and so they go out and that's buddy holds up
his gun. He looks at he looks at my partner.
He's like, this is why we do this job. And
and I'll say Art, my partner will call him Art.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
He goes, are you serious right now?
Speaker 4 (41:34):
And he's like yeah, He's like, okay, Cagney And then
I'm pretty sure they had an argument about who was
Cagney and who was lazy after that, But it was
just hilarious. And then they both went on to be
swat So, I mean, they're they're funny dudes, but it's
just like, this is why we do this job.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It looks at him, he's like, did you just do that?

some paraphernalia in the car. He's doing a search and uh,
up on the on the stick shift for the car,
going to use that bracelet real quick. He's there's like

Speaker 1 (48:17):
So m now talking during the break, I understand Marcus
that you have a story about a trailer. Yeah, and
first off, what kind of trailer were talking about. We're
not talking a movie trailer. We're talking now, it's a
trailer trailer.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
So the only thing I only stories are life that
I have is involves bicycles. So this is involves bicycles again.
But so this goes back to our first trip to
the World Games up in Canada, and so that the trailer.
It's a it's a big box trailer holds a bunch
of bikes in It has all our gear and equipment.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
In it, except for your pedals and your shoes.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Except for the.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
Pedals and shoes. Yeah, there's no roof for that.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
So and it's hooked up to the trail, sitting out
in the parking lot of the hotel. And I don't
don't know, we got up early, we were out preparing
for the day or whatever it may be, or late
at night, I can't remember. But so me and uh
lieutenant go out there and and he gets into the
truck and I'm in the trailer doing whatever. And you
could see this wall of clouds coming in and it's like,
(49:20):
I don't know, I guess we'll make it. We'll make it.
And all of a sudden it opened up starts pouring
down rain. So he jumps in the truck. I'm in
the trailer, and of course it's tornado force, no tornado,
but the wind was whipping. It was crazy. The trailer
was rocking back and forth.
Speaker 4 (49:36):
It's completely dark in the trailer, by the way, it's
black on the entet.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
There's one skylight. It had a cover, had a cover
on it. The cover disappeared while I was in it.
But uh, and then after that, it's just starts pouring
down rain. I'm trying to text him on the phone
because he can't hear anything, like call him, and uh,
it was it was I thought I was gonna die.
Speaker 4 (49:57):
Yeah, So the water is just pouring in the vent
from all directions and he's like hiding, trying and like
literally no clue, like are we flying? Are we you know?
I mean it was just it was bad. I was like, dude,
we're not. We haven't moved yet. Still felt like the
black gate was up. You were like, use the side door. Yeah,
the side door, right, So so the side door slam
shut and he's like I'm stuck in here, like that
(50:20):
was the other thing. You got stuck because the lock
was external, and I'm like, I'm not getting out soil
it's done. So just took off in the truck.
Speaker 1 (50:32):
Yeah, luckily it was still hitched.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
We we were parked at a hotel and casino there
in Winnipeg, and they gave us like this whole little
area of the parking lot, so we pretty much just
like put the lock on and prayed to God.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
No one stole the truck.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
It's actually the first time officially that a Fort Worth
police vehicle has crossed an international boundary. So that was
what was kind of cool about that. But yeah, it started.
I mean it was like a squall line. I mean
because Winnipeg is like Flags of Pancake and that's squall
on comes in and uh.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
That trailer was moving so bad it was I was
literally holding on riding out the storm. Trailers are rocking,
trailers are rocking, coming king. I mean, he does love bikes,
so you know, he's protected.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
Everybody. Everybody has their thing. We don't judge. Yeah, you're
you're in the truck checking out the radio stations and.
Speaker 4 (51:23):
You know, yeah, yeah, I'm like, oh yeah, this is nice.
I'm like, ride it out, buddy, we're almost done. He
got out in the hotel then, yeah, you've got ten
more minutes.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
When you're locked in, you can't get out.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
