Last week and last week's episode number sixty five, we

Something Josh failed to mention on the show is that
he's actually part of the fourth Police Department Pipes and
Drum Group, and he actually after the show, gave us
(02:19):
a couple of coins from the fort Worth Police Department
Pipes and Drums. You know, unusual coins, I will say.
But he's got one that's a bagpiper and one that's
a little drummer guy there metal figurines, kind of so special.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Thanks to the beaters and blowers out there for giving
us all the The guard man's pretty good stuff. You
can't call him a drummer boy. That'd be Christmas, they'd
be that's a drummer man. Drummer man, drummer man because
he kills a little longer, how you know.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well here actually in this one you can see the drum.
You can't even see the kilt.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
That's that could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, that's you know. I mean even if you turn around.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Don't turn around, don't look at the back.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, let's get into this now, Jimmy, you are currently
an officer, correct.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That's correct?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And where do you work?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So? I'm currently assigned to the vice unit in fort Worth?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
All right.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I've been there for about five years.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Now, very good, five years total and fort Worth for

So have a good time.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Well, and Brad, what about what about you? You work

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Yes, I'm fort Worth, been in for fourteen years. I
did five years in patrol, about a year in Knaine
and seven years or so and vice and now I'm
(03:59):
currently the still kind of attached to vice, but I
do the permits for sobs, which is sexually oriented businesses.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm glad you said that because I think that's some
of the bitches.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah, it goes both ways.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, okay, yeah, again, going back to hand in hand, Curtis,
you used to used to be attached device.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Also, these are my vice.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Brothers and we all we did we did some shanagas
and we rover there.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
We all know where the bodies are buried.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
They're still shallow graves. They're buried, all right.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah, let's not elaborate on that one where they say
I still got the shovel.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Okay, Well, let's dive into some of these stories. And
I have a I have a feeling since you guys
showed up with the list of stories today these are,
with the titles you guys brought me, I can almost
assume these are device related.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I would say most of them, some of them, some
of them. One of the mine's a good patrol story. Two
of mine are are good patrols.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Well, Jimmy, let's let's start off with you, and we
probably just need to go ahead and get this one
over here. That way we can continue on with our
normal format. But let's I understand you've got a story
about a priest.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I do. I do so as part of our duties
and vice we do human trafficking details where we our
unit will get hotel rooms and then we'll hit the
escort pages and we'll call in escorts to our rooms,
make deals with them for prostitution and other assorted punal
(05:36):
code offenses, and then you know, we'll have a takedown
team come in take them into custody. Then they'll be
interviewed by our human trafficking unit and try to see
if there's any human trafficking involved. And so while we
were preparing for one of these details, my lieutenant came
into the office while we were searching the escort pages
(05:58):
for ads to us to call over the weekend. And
he comes up and he sits down and he said, Pollock.
He said, I bet you you can't make a case
this weekend while dressed as a Catholic priest. And I said, uh,
I bet you I can. Yeah, yeah, I immediately got
on Amazon, right and I got the black shirt with
(06:20):
the collar, and uh. My wife went out, she got
me some rosary. Absolutely I told her, I told her
what I was doing. So she went, I think she went.
She went to some Christian bookstore. She got a she
got a set of rosaries, and uh, and and I
even had some Catholic officers show me I'm a Baptist
you know, Adam show me how to do the sign
(06:41):
of the.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Cross and and uh.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And then on the night of the detail, I got
dressed up. I mean I had slacks on, I put
the collar on, I put the shirt on with the collar.
I set the room up. I had a Bible laying
out a rosary, and uh, I had my hair slicked over.
I mean I looked the part and uh so, uh
I was able to get I was able to get
(07:05):
somebody up to the room. And so I'm waiting in
the room. I hear and knock on the door, and uh,
I go over and answer it, and she freaks out
and she goes, oh my gosh, she wants expecting a
Catholic on the other side of the door, right, And
so so I said, what, you've never been with the
(07:26):
priest before, and.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
She goes no.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I said, well, come on in, and so we come
in and she's she thinks this is a setup. I
mean she's looking at the bathroom, you know, under the bed.
She's trying to figure out what's going on here. So
we sit down and then I start going into some
story about how I'm out of town for some convention
(07:51):
for priests from Lubbock, Texas, right, and just hear the story,
just just and I said, you know, but I have
a problem. And she goes what I goes, well, I
like to have sex with women. And of course, you know,
in my profession, that's that's a problem. We're supposed to
be celibate, right, And she's and she's like, okay, she's
(08:13):
still trying to figure out if I real or not.
And so, you know, I kind of tell her at
that point, you know, I only do this when I'm
out of town. I can't do this when I'm in
love it because I might get caught by one of
my parishioners. And and uh, and so did I start crying.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Steve, We're all in the we're all in the tech
room watching this live.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
That's great, including the lieutenant. And I understand later he
was looking at going I can't did it. I can't
believe he did it. And he's like, well, you dare
him too. But anyway, so so I start crying, right
and uh, and she she goes, well, well, what what
do you want to do? And I said, I just
want to have sex with the woman. That's all I
(09:04):
want to do. I just want to be touched by
a woman and she goes, oh, thank god, I thought
you wanted like some butt stuff or something and.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Just the woman.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
So I said, I said, so you know, I said,
I said the price was yeah. I think it was
like two hundred dollars or something. I got up headed
or the money. Uh, you know, then gave the takedown signal. Well,
when when CTU came into the room, they're.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
All shaking their heads.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Raina is the first one in the room and he goes,
mamstead up, put your what Uh? No one had told
him that I was dressed as a priest.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Catholic, the greatest Catholic.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So about thirty minutes later, Raina sends me a text
and he goes, He goes, it's nothing sacred to you,
and I said, uh, I said, man, I'm a Baptist,
not a Catholic. Anyways, that's my that's my priest.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I do remember you like you were laying on thick
with her, trying to kind of get her. But I
was like, you know, when you're like, I've got this problem,
like just this one thing I need and that's a
woman's touch, and she's like okay.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's like.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Like I'm not perverted. I'm just a priest, okay.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
And would when CTU came in to take her to
cause I don't even think she knew what happened. Now
she was trying to process, like what I was with
the priest? Now I'm in cuffs? What what's going on?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Am I mc.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Where's the cowboy? It was a good story made for
a good video too.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Man, we're gonna and we're gonna have to enhance this
charge because you're well, yeah, sex with the priest, I
mean that's that's wrong on so many levels.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, it's like you offended God here.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Okay, Yeah, we're charging you at the Bible verse number.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
All ten commandments.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Actually, what what made that story kind of even funnier
is right before that, there's more to this, Okay. Right
before that, another officer made a deal and they had
like this, Uh it's like fake weed. Okay, so when
you light it up, it smells like weed. So the
whole room stunk like cannabis. Several warning signs there. I
(11:18):
guess I was trying to open up the windows off the.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Room, and you got it was you got to keep
it that. We do that weed to do them a lot.
So we had to try to spice our side of
it up because I mean, it's our job, but yeah,
but we still want to try a little bit of home.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
We're doing it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Absolutely again, like we've we've said on the show many
times before, Hey, if you're not having fun, then it's
just worked. You might as well have fun while you're
doing it.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
That was just one of the tenants theirs.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
There was another one on that list where he dared
me to do something.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So, now did you get anything? Did you get anything
back for winning this?
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Now?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Bragging rides and rights?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
These are these are stories that the young guys will
be telling years after. It's like, man, do you remember
that guy Paul Like he dressed up like a priest?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Remember way Nsis was with us on that one. He
came in and he goes Pollock. In all my years
and undercover work, no one's ever gotten a case dressed
like a priest before.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
So we we.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Take we take a snapshot of the things that we
do crazy and and the pictures of them are on
our desks. So so somebody that's non advice comes in
the vice room and there's all these weird pictures on
our desks, and they're like what is going on with
these pictures? And it's like, well, each one is a story.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Uh yeah, all right, Jimmy's got a photo of himself
dressed up as a.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Priestley Oh yep, Well, Brad, jeez man, We've got to
follow up a priesthood story like that.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
But I it's it's tough to follow now, I understand
back and I'm assuming this was in your patrol days.
You you told me that you have had to respond
to a large animal call that was kind of interesting.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yes, Steve, there was a I got a call that
I guess somebody had called in that a neighbor's horse
I guess, which was a stud, had jumped the fence
trying to get to his mare. And so I show
(13:28):
up and I'm thinking, Okay, what am I going to
do with this? So I asked the guy if he
had a lasso, and he's like, yeah, yeah, I do.
And I used to do a little roping back in
the day. So alasta the horse, and I had the
(13:51):
great idea of tying to my buddy bumper. Seems legit,
you know, yeah, Because then we call the commercial Cowboy,
which is with Terran County, and you know, they come
out with a horse trailer and all that.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So just to just celebrate buddy bumper on your car,
like the push bumper, yesah, pushbumper. Yeah, okay, so the
pushbumper on the frame of your car. Correct, Hey that's
a that's a hitching post, right.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah. I thought it was a great plan. It's the frame.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
I underestimated the uh, the drive of a stud horse
trying to get to a mayor and uh, he ripped
my bumper off my patrol car. The good thing was
is that he couldn't jump the fence again with the
(14:45):
uh with this push yes.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yes, so yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
When the commercial cowboy did show up, he was like,
what in the world is going on with this horse
running around? Drag get my my buddy bumper, poor cockbox
to get a wrangleed beat Uh yeah it took a minute. Yeah,
he was worked up. The horse was really worked out,
(15:11):
frustrated to say, frustrated.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
They had to put him in sideways.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
So you have to do a memo damage to city
property kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I did.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
A horse ripped the bumper off of my car. Kind
of a dear chief letter.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Did you have to a packet like fifty fifteen package
between the mayor and the horse.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
No, yeah, accident review board. No, No, I didn't have
to do that.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
He wasn't technically an accident. He did it.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I did it on purpose. And I'll tell you that.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
The weird thing about it was somebody else had probably
tore that buddy bumper up and just put it back
on there because they slide in, because I've had him
where you pull them out, so it more likely got
damaged by somebody else and like just slide it back in.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, sitting there.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
And with the breast, don't know, don't hurt them, right.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Welcome to for Worth Chief Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I figured my name, my name is Jason Bell. Bell
Bell will get a kick out of that.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Now, Brad staying staying on the topic of animals, Oh okay,
you mentioned you had a story about stepping in a
little dog waste.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Yeah, that was that was a very stinky story. Cold
and stinky, cold and stinky. H My partner and I
we went went on a call and it was it
was you know, in December, everything was it was snowy
and icy, and it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Was it was like seventeen degrees.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Was this dear Stowmageddon?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It could have been. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
So we go to the call and uh we luckily
we were able to talk to this person at the
front door. Lucky for them, I didn't have to go
in their house because unbeknownst to me at the time,
I had stepped in dog crap in the front yard
(17:24):
and I didn't realize it until we were finished with
the call and we got back. We got back in
the car and started to drive off, and uh, my
partner kind of had like a weak stomach, and he
immediately like opened the passenger door and started throwing up.
(17:47):
And I'm still thinking, like, what the heck is going on?
And I obviously I can smell it, but I mean
I think it's him. It was like, you know, it's me.
And there is a there is a big glob of
it on my boot, and so with everything frozen over,
(18:10):
we have a dilemma on how to get it off
my boot. So we're driving seventeen degrees with the windows down,
and we happened to drive by an elementary school that
rose my Rosemont Elementary that they had left their sprinklers on,
(18:33):
and so the whole football field out there was like
a sheet of ice.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So I.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Promise you if somebody had their cell phones out. They
made some money off of this one because I jumped
out of the patrol car and I went to run
across the frozen football field frozen tundra. I bust my butt,
of course, and then finally get over to the sprinkler
(19:02):
so I can wash my boot off. And so it was.
It was quite the quite the ideal.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Oh my gosh, I can see it happening.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Though.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
You got to get it off somehow.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You'll have to ask a lot about that. Okay, well,
what is it, Zach Lott.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yes, we were in the academy together.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yes, oh no, yeah, we we heard all about Curtis
Academy class last week.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I saw that episode. That was a good episode.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Now, Jimmy, you one of the stories you brought you,
says Deaf John. Story was a title.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yes, Actually these two were in on this one. So
part of our part of our duties as vice officers
is to do what we call hole patrol, and that's
where we go out onto the streets and we pick
up ladies of the night from street corn and they
get into the car and we are the stroll and
(20:04):
uh we uh we make cases for prostitution. And uh,
and then they're arrested and taken to jail unless they
make an outcraft, unless they make an outcry human trafficking.
If you're listening, then then we bring them to You
don't want to get in trouble here, but uh but anyways,
so you know, part of it, like you said Steve
at the beginning, is to try to make this as
(20:24):
fun as possible. So you know, we take turns and
who's going to be the undercover and that day it
happened to be my turn, and I said, you know
what fellas today, I'm going to uh, I'm gonna pretend
that I'm deaf and uh and I'm gonna pick these
girls up that I'm deaf, and I'm even going to
bring a pad of paper with me and I'm all
(20:45):
write down what I want, which, by the way, So anyway,
so we get out there, well, these two they're in
the they're in the processing van and uh uh they
tell me get us on an open line because we
want to hear this because this is gonna be funny.
And this was actually back before we were required a
(21:06):
videotape all these encounters. So uh so I pull up
what hotel was it in front of.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Brad was it the it was down by the Luxury
that was.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Down by the Luxury on Lancaster And uh I pull
up to pull up to this unsuspecting female and rolled
out the passenger side window. She comes up to the door.
She goes, what can I do for you? Baby? And Steve,
I look at her and I go, I deaf, I
can't hear you, just just like that, and she goes.
She goes, what I go, if I can't hear you,
(21:39):
you know, I'm just trying to sound as much like
a deaf person as I can't. Sorry if I think
he's trying to sound so so she So he goes
back and forth for a minute. I'll play the woughle
I can't hear you. And finally she just gets exasperated.
She goes, what what I go? Hold on, hold on
(22:02):
a minute? And uh So I get out my piece
of paper, right and I write on there how much
for a blow job? And I hand it to her
with the pin and she looks at the paper. She's
thinking it's gotta be app right, and Steve, she literally goes,
she shrugs her shoulders like that, grabs it wrights forty dollars. Oh,
(22:23):
it hands it back to me. So I go, I
go for forty forty dollars and she goes She goes, yeah, yeah,
I said, okay, get in the car. Get in the car. Well,
that's not the funniest part of.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You to draw a picture of a car with the
door open.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Once she gets in the car and I take off
with her, waiting for the vice unit to catch up
to pull me over to take her into custody. She goes, well, baby,
if you're deaf, I know sign language.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Curtis and I are like, what are the odds some
random chick on Blake she knows?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Did you say I'm blind?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Now she starts going.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
She starts doing this. I don't know what the hell
she's doing. So what I pretended to do is I
was driving and whatever she'd quit moving her hands out
of my peripheral. I'd look over her and go, I
can't hear you, and then I keep driving. He told
me later he said they were rolling because they said
(23:25):
there was this moment of awkward silence after she said.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
She this is what she said.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
She goes, Oh, it's okay, baby, I know sign language.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Let's talk to Daniel Cook now from Cook DFW Roofing
and Restoration eight three three Cook df W is the
phone number, the website COOKDFW dot com. Now, Daniel, would
you advise that someone called their insurance company immediately if
something happens to their home.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Steve, that's a great question, and a lot of people
don't fully understand what damage qualifies for within insurance guidelines.
So we get a lot of storms, we get a
lot of wind here, and not every one of those
produced damage that the insurance company is going to qualify
or you may not even need to worry about. So
I strongly urge clients, friends, anybody that's listening, please make
(24:31):
sure you call us if all possible. We'd love to
come out and make an assessment on your property, or
called someone that you worked with before, because you don't
want to get a zero file claim or a negative
claim put into your claimability history. Anytime you file a claim,
whether they pay you or not, it goes on to
your insurability record and you're able to run what's called
(24:52):
a clue report when you have to then file for
more insurance or change insurance companies even when you renew
all those items are looked at and it can affect
if you can actually get insurance and what your rate
is so super important. Make sure you call a contractor first.
Unless you just have tons of like physical visible damage
(25:14):
that you know is going to become a tornado of fire,
large amounts of broken windows, you know, major damage that
that's you don't have to worry about being covered. But otherwise,
if you just see some hell coming through or high winds,
does not mean you need a claim. But let's call
us out. We can double check and make sure your
home is safe.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
And you're you offer free roof inspections right.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Our services are complementary. We just want to make sure
your home is safe. It may only take a few
minutes out of your day to just give you peace
of mind later on.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Very good, give the professionals at cook df Roofing and

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Those are some good times.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
That was when it was slapstick stuff. Man.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
This stuff today has nothing on those shows.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
It really doesn't.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Roddy Dangerfield.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
I can watch his movies all day.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Caddy Shack, all right, speaking of speaking of comedy, and
you know we just mentioned Caddy Shack with a little
gopher on there, Braddy. Kind of your theme for the
day has been animals thus far. And I understand you
got a story about dog CPR.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
I do, Steve. So we got a call about a
guy's dog.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That was he was in a bad, bad way, he
was kind.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Of dying, and so we come in not really knowing
what to expect, and so there was h there was.
There ended up being several of us on that call.
And so we come into this guy's house and he
(29:24):
is in just a panic and he's, you know, he's
telling us that, you know, his his dog is dying
and we've got to help him. We've got to help him.
And uh, we all look at each other like, I
don't know what to do, but I just ah really
(29:44):
felt the need to, you know, try to put this
guy to ease. I got to do something. I mean, uh,
you know, call the cops. You you expected to answer,
We're supposed to have all the answers. So I I
jump in the action, and uh I get down there
and and start giving the dog CPR.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Now are you doing chess compressions? Are you giving mouth
to mouth?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I'm doing snout the mouth.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
I'm doing uh, chest compressions. And I'm just close to
his snout and like blowing, blowing in his nose.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
And you've got the fire department in route, right.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yes, yes, So uh So this goes on and the
dog is is actually having a seizure.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Okay, so he's the dogs just having any seizure.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yes, yes, so was it.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
So the dog wasn't really dying, the dog's just having
a seizure.
Speaker 5 (30:56):
No, he was really dying. It's like a seizure prior
to dying.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Power of Chriss compels you.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
So, uh, this goes on for like ten minutes because
the guy is still in a panic. Meanwhile, you know,
the other cops that are there are they're trying to
keep a straight face because this guy is just.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
In a panic.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
I'm down there on my knees, you know, doing chest
compression and blowing into snout and it comes to a
point where the dog obviously passes. And so when that,
(31:43):
when that happened, he you know, he expelled his bodily
functions and everything. I'm still trying to do CPR, and
so finally I stop and I look at the guy
and I'm just like, sir, I'm sorry. I did everything
I could, but I think I think he's gone. And
(32:06):
the guy's just like, oh my god, Oh my god.
And he opens the refrigerator and like we think he's
gonna grab a beer, but he grabs a doctor pepper
and he downs this doctor pepper and it had it
had been raining cats and dogs and so so I
(32:33):
step out of the back door and uh, there's a
there's a big trash can there, and the lid is
upside down and it's full of rain water. And I'm
actually taking off my gloves and gonna throw him away
in this trash can.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
And so I moved.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
The lid, and you know, the water hits, and of
course everybody inside thinks that I'm outside vomiting. It was
really just the just the trash can lid. But the
the afterwards is is what was funny and talking about it.
(33:12):
You know, it wasn't funny that the dog died and
all that, but just in talking about it, and they're like,
you know, I can't believe you know, I can't believe
you did you know, CPR and a dog and you know,
like how did you know to do that? And I'm like,
I mean I had to do something right. And then
they're like, why did you go outside and throw up?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Though? And I'm like, I didn't throw up.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
That was a trash can lid, you know, And it
just I mean, it just sounded like it when I'm
when I was throwing away my gloves, but it's just
it's just the stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
You can't you can't make up Steve.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, you know, it's sad that he lost his dog.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It is.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
We love animals on the show. Obviously I've started to
do at my house.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
But dogs myself.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, and Brad, you said you did a year in canine, right,
I did?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I did.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
They didn't training for CPR.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Actually, Uh, they did a lot of training on Uh.
We had to spend a week in the veterinarian hospital,
so they teach you a lot of first aid and everything.
But that that call was prior to going into k Yeah,
you made natural Maybe that's why you made canine. They
(34:30):
hear CPR skills dogs. Jerry moved back to Jimmy here Curtis, Oh, absolutely, yeah,
you had. I don't even know where to go here.
I've got a whole list. What is the excited to
see me story?
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Uh? Well, this one, this was a little bit more involved.
But this was back in my patrol days. And uh,
there was one particular guy, I'm gonna call him William.
I won't give his whole name, but him and I
he was just fresh out of prison in his mid
(35:12):
were both out of prison.
Speaker 8 (35:13):
He was first, I'm just on a program, you know
that prison he was.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
But but William was a guy fresh out of prison,
and I had run into him twice in a two
week period. Once was on a traffic stop where he
got arrested. Wasn't wasn't my call. I just came to
assist on the stop, and him and I had gotten
to talking on the stop. I mean, he was an
amicable enough fellow, right, And but William grew up and
stopped six and he liked to represent, so he actually
(35:50):
tattooed an octagon in the center of his forehead with
the sixth edit for stop six. So this is the
intelligence level we're dealing with here, okay. And then a
couple of weeks with pride, and a couple of weeks later,
we ran into him on a burglary in progress. He'd
broken him and two other guys had broken into a
(36:10):
house and they got followed and we ended up tracking
them down to this apartment complex and catching them. And
and so that was twice in two weeks we had
pretty you know, intimate conversations with one another. You know,
he's been arrested twice. Well, that was in October twenty fifteen,
in uh January or February of twenty twenty six, my
(36:34):
partner and I were at the jail booking somebody in
and I walked by the Felony tank and some guy
goes he starts waving his hands at me, like, and
it wasn't like you know, most of the time you
walk by and they're calling you some slur or they're
trying to get your goat or they're trying to He
actually looked happy to see me, right like. And I
remember thinking, man, that's that's my guy. That's freaking weird
(36:56):
well like, and I didn't get a good look at him.
I just remember it's freaking weird like that that. So
I walked by him again and he does it again.
He goes, hey, hey, come over here, and I was
just ignored him. And about the third time he did that,
I walked over and I go, hey, do I freaking
know you? And he comes close to the felody take
(37:16):
and I see the stop six.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Like, will ya, what's all buddy?
Speaker 3 (37:21):
He goes He goes, yeah, man, remember me, you arrested
me twice, like like we're long lost buns. And he
was glad I had a resting him, right So I said, well,
will you? I said, uh, I said what are you
in here for? And he goes, you'll never believe it,
and I said, uh, well, try me, try me. I said,
I've heard a lot of stuff. He goes, I'm in
(37:43):
here for the big one and I said the big one.
He goes, what's the big one? He goes murder, and
I said, man, I'm impressed.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
I said, I said.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Uh, who are you supposed to have killed? Because it's
never there? Right yeah? And then he goes, man, you
just you won't believe the story. So what do I
do as a good officer? I go look his name
up on our reports system to find them.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
So, so this guy is sitting there, he's in the
pelony tank, and he's just bragging to you.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Hey, you know, hey, like we were just lost buddies,
because I've arrested them twice. I mean, you can't make
like Brad said, you can't.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
That's a bond.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Can't make up this stuff.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
You know, that's a bond right there.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I'll give you that.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Oh man, Well, Brad, I mean, since we're on we're
on the topic of weapons here, and I guess hotels
to some degree, you brought a story Radison swords.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah, Steve, that was that was an interesting one.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
So we uh we get called to the Radison Hotel,
which is uh On Ultimesa, just just north of or
just east of thirty five, and there is a there's
a guy in the lobby. He had brought a duffel
(39:15):
bag of swords plural plural, and he was very irate
with the hotel people because they were refusing to give
him a room, mainly because he didn't want to pay
for it because he believed that he owned the hotel.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
I would want to pay for it either the hotel.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
That's right, he didn't get the memo that he owned.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
So so we uh we kind of triangle him and
you know, start trying to calm him down. And while
we're trying to talk to him, well uh he uh
goes into a fighting stance, kind of crouches down and
(40:09):
informs us that he is kung fu panda.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
The did you ask.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
You for a p autograph like the Jat and black
kng Fu Panda.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
Yeah, So so he starts doing these, uh you know
what he thinks for kung fu moves and everything in
the air, kicking in the air, and so we're just
kind of letting him put on a show and screaming,
yell at us and everything himself out. So finally, you know,
(40:48):
step up and I was like, all right, guys, it's
it's time. Let's go time. Yeah, So we decide to
tas him. So I'm telling him to get get down,
and of course he doesn't, and you know, he gives
(41:11):
me the old come on you know, So I tase him. Uh,
it's effective, but he rips the cords and jumps up
and starts charging me. I've got a little bit of
mixed martial arts background, so as as he's charging me,
(41:33):
I gave him a nice shoulder throw, put him on
the ground.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
And wait, wait a minute. You you took down kung
Fu Panda.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
I did? I did with his swords.
Speaker 5 (41:46):
Well, luckily he hadn't reached into his bag of swords
yet because he was kung Fu Panda, so I mean
thought he thought he didn't need him.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
I'm impressed, Brad, you took down the kung Fu panda.
Speaker 5 (41:58):
We haven't told Disney yet. Well, so here's where the
funny part happens. A little backstory. The prior call we had,
we had left the call and we went to seven
to eleven and I look over and this was back
(42:20):
in twenty fifteen when President Trump was running the first time.
And I look over by the dumpster and there is
a perfect, perfect, imperfect shape Trump pinyata over there by
the dumpster, and so I was like, oh sweet. So
(42:46):
I grabbed the Trump pinata and I put it in
the back of my patrol car, so it looks like
I've got Trump in the back seat of my patrol car.
And then before I could do anything else, we got
dispatch to the radison call. So so while we're wrestling
(43:08):
with the Sky on the ground and getting him in
cuffs and everything, of course, uh, the other officers are,
you know, calling for for backup and everything, so sergeants
come out and everything else. So by the time we're
walking him out of the radison, you know, of course,
he's still yelling that you know, he's Kung Fu Panda
and everything else, and of course everybody's starting to chuckle,
(43:30):
and I forgot about the Trump Pinata in the back
of my car. So I opened the back of the
car and I'm like, oh crap, sergeants are there and everything.
So I have to get the Trump pinnata out of
the car to put him in to put him in
the back seat, and of course the sergeants are going,
(43:51):
what what in the world is going on? Sims? And
so it was. It was quite the It was quite
the laugh and the trump. Pignotta actually stayed in our
roll call room for about six months.
Speaker 4 (44:07):
I always wonder where that come from. I did you
eventually take it home with you?
Speaker 5 (44:12):
No? No, somebody somebody took it. I don't know what
happened to it, but yeah, I I was planning on
taking that home as a moment.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
For some reason though, when you were telling that story,
you said that three of y'all were trying to lay around.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
In my head, the song that was playing.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Was everybody was going by.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
But you know, in patrol, you've come across a lot
of things. You'd find a lot of things laying on
the side of the road. I remember responding to an accident.
This is out on six point thirty five. One day,
I was responded to an accident and I had pulled up.
As I was walking up to the vehicles involved on
the shoulder of the roadway, there was a well if
(44:57):
you guys remember people would get those I don't know.
They weren't brass, they're metal. Ball sacks that peopleould hang
on there a metal ball sack.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
This truck's got nuts, this truck's got balls.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
As I'm walking up to these to these vehicles, I
look off to my right and there on the ground,
I mean, big ass screwed them laying on the on
the ground, and I picked up I'm like, okay.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
Yeah, exactly, come off the car that was wrecked.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
So no, no, I didn't it just there's all sorts
of stuff falls up, the parts of fall off cars
and LBJ. Anyway, so I picked it up, and when
I hadn't turned and went back to my car, go
stick in the trunk of my squad and there's a
DPS trooper who's backing me up the time. He pulled
up and he got out his car and he's just laughing.
They walked up. I'm like, oh yeah, this is this
is good print material here. Anyways, went up, we handled
(45:52):
the accident, got back to my station. At this point
in time, we were still driving Crown Vicks. But supervisors said,
SUVs lieutenant's trucks right there, you know, closest to the
door to go in, and you installed oh yeah, absolutely
didn't have anything to hang them with. So I'm out
there with crime scene tape, you know, the hitch truck.
Speaker 3 (46:16):
Anyways, he got a kick out of that, sergeant or
lieutenant this lieutenant lieutenant.
Speaker 4 (46:20):
So if you have a set of those in your
truck and you get in a wreck and they fall off,
with that be essentially being neutered.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Yeah, got your balls got off.

you know it. Okay, shout out to you, Tom brad I.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
There's been some build up to this story here and
we're going to finish off today's show with the story
you've got titled bitch Slap.
Speaker 5 (50:15):
Yeah, Steve, you know, we've all worked with officers that
were very abrasive, abrasive, over zealous, no way. You know,
they the the power of being a police officer kind
of goes through their head and you know everybody has
(50:40):
to go to jail. Well, I worked with an officer
that was very much like that, very very knowledgeable in
the penal code, but there was no no black and white,
like everybody had to go to jail. You got one warrant,
(51:02):
you're going to jail. So he was, I mean, everybody
knew his personality and all. And so I went to
a call with him and uh it was a sixteen
year old female that the mother had called because she
(51:27):
just couldn't do anything with her. And so, uh, we
we get there and she, the sixteen year old female
is sitting outside on the steps and uh, so I
(51:48):
was I was the assist, so I was letting that
officer run the show, which he liked to do anyway.
So he is, he's talking to her and we're trying
to get you know, background and everything of what's going on,
and she basically said some explicits to him, and he
(52:22):
made her stand up, and he proceeded to inform her
that that he is an officer of the law and
she will respect his authority. And just about the time
he got that out, I mean, she let him have it.
I mean, bitch slapped him right across his face. And
(52:48):
so I mean we you know, arrested her and everything.
And but the funny part of this story was our
sergeant at the time, so in reviewing the the ax
On video he took, he took the slap and slowed
(53:12):
it down in the slow mo and saved it as
like a screensaver on his computer where where he can
watch it every day, and anytime somebody would come by
his office, he was like, did you did you see
the bit slap on this officer and would show it.
(53:33):
I mean, he got so much, he got so much
play out of that, you will respect. That's exactly That's
exactly the way it was.
Speaker 3 (53:43):
Yeah, what.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
You know, and and a touch on the on what
you said at the beginning of that. I mean, yeah,
it's not everybody needs to go to jail. Not everybody
needs to take it right, some people definitely do. By
all means, you can talk yourself into jail, right, But yeah,
that's why we have discretion out there in the world. Yeah,
(54:08):
you gotta you can't give her the human aspect of it,
the human part of it. Now, something guys that I
had mentioned at the start of the show, So I'm
going to go back on my word here. I said
we were going to close out the show with that
Jimmy You Friday story today dancing in my underwear doune
dun dunk finish.
Speaker 3 (54:29):
So this is a uh, this is another vice story.
And this was on another human trafficking detail that we
were doing at a hotel where we got escorts to
come in and make deals with And again, uh, you
try to make these as entertaining as possible. So while
we were doing the prep work for this during the
(54:50):
week before the weekend, when we did the detail, I said, guys,
I'm gonna I'm gonna get a girl up there and
I'm gonna get her to dance to George Michael's Careless
Whispers for me, and.
Speaker 2 (55:03):
Uh, and everybody know what we're talking.
Speaker 3 (55:07):
And anyways, and so I don't know what happened, but
the dare just kind of it just kind of started
taking a life of its own. And and some guys said, well, Polly,
I bet I bet you won't dance in front of
her too careless whispers. And I said, I said, I
bet I will. And they said, I bet you won't
strip dance too careless whispers in front of her, and
(55:31):
I said, I bet I will. And so we, uh,
we did the we did the weekend right when I
got a girl to come up there. And kind of
my stick steve to to make the case is I
would always I'd always kind of loosen them up by
telling them, Hey, tell me like the weirdest story that
you've ever heard, you know, while out on dates. Right,
