Very good, So you're out there again. We established this
on the previous episode. You were teaching people how to detent. Yeah,
detent and detertent and deter.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Did they call you, Dano. No, it was a diabeto.
Diabeto because I have diabetes, because you have diabetes. I
thought that meant because everybody who comes into jail says
they have diabetes and needs to go to the hospital. No, no, no,
you can't lie to me. I know who has diabetes.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Wow, like a diabetes detection machine.

Diabetic machineabetic machine.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Wow. Now justin you did bring ad bring a guest
with you today an audience member. I did. I brought
my girlfriend, Melissa.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Hi, I'm Melissa, I'm MESA. Well, very good. It's always
nice when we have audience members here in the studios
still see if I'm actually funny or not. You know what,
We'll I'm hoping that you are, but we're going to
let her make that determination. So Melissa, we will ask
a question of our audience member. Is he generally funny
(03:35):
looking looking?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay? She said, he tries. Let's get into this now.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You had mentioned that in your in your time over
at Colin County there there were pranks that were conducted
on fellow co workers, as is in all good agencies.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Absolutely, and that's that's part of the job.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You gotta have fun doing the Yeah, you mentioned something
about a prankin a coworker in involving a sex I
don't know prop.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh, yeah, we had this real tall, goofy coworker who
just loved to screw at our sergeant and he was
inventory in a person from Plan OPDS inmates coming in
and you just hear his laugh.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
He just has one of those laughs. Wow, you know
when I got a couple of donkeys and they.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
That's what I was actually aiming for, because that's about
what he sounds like. He's going to be the best dudes.
He's one of the best dudes in the world. But
you just once you hear that laugh, you know that
it's fixing to go south. So we turn around and
he you just hear a pop and there is a
a sex toy that consuction to things stuck to the
(05:01):
sergeant's computer screen.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, we can tell by your hand motion what it is.
Unless you're unless you have shake weights at home, we
know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Well, I mean you got to get it on that screen.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, do it, hard man, hard lap it on there.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And so the sergeant was downstairs and he comes back down.
Before he reaches his computer, he turns and he says
to that officer. I won't say his name, he does,
he's not there anymore. What the f did you do
to my computer screen? And once again all your years
(05:39):
and we're all rolling because it's clearly him because he's
the one with the bag open, and there's other items
that are buzzing inside this bag, and he's just having
the time of his life and no one could take
him seriously all day long.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Was it brought in by an I guess or somebody
coming in? Yeah, it was a homeless person who collects toys,
so it was used, Oh roughly used.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Were there more than was it? Eight devices? Six? Six
devices in a ticket?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
But one was like vibrating so hard it was just
bouncing on the table. And he just left it there
just because he thought it was the funniest shit in
the world.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I bet it was. Don't don't wear the batteries down?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Oh yeah, well, And I can't help but thinking of
National Lampoon's Christmas vacation when you're when you're talking about
this a bag shaking and stuff, because if y'all remember
when Chevy Chase, whenever one of the who's it ed,
No I forgot someone, someone showed up and she wrapped
a present and she'd wrapped her cat up in it,
(06:43):
and he was trying to hold the present. He's like,
is bouncing around and shaken. I could just see him
checking in the inventory of this person's property's holding his
bag and the bags just vibrating all over the place.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, it was a plan. OPD knew it was in
the bag.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And they're just roll and laughing out there because he's
having the time of his life. He's got he's got
sex toys vibrating on the table, suction cup and one
to the computer screen, just throwing them everywhere like it
was nothing. And boss comes down and get out, go
to lunch.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's just a good time. See, that's that's fun. You
gotta have fun in.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I would say good clean fun, but it wouldn't clean.
It's not clean fun, but it was fun.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Established it was used now you Yeah, anyways, Uh you
mentioned something about phone pranks as well.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, I uh, I can change my voice up a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And I used to mess with my lieutenants when they'd
call down there because I didn't have anything else to do.
He'd call down. I used the phone can County Brent
to ask how can I help you.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I like that. That's kind.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I called booking. I don't know what's going on. I've
been getting their phone calls all day.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
All right, I'll call him back. Wait about thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Con Kenny front, Yes, how can he?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
This is your lieutenant, it's my lieutenant. Awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
He'd call back a third time con Kenny Front desk,
and you just hear as he's slamming the phone down.
He'd just said something I'm not gonna say.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Pop.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
He's sitting there at the book and usk and he
come walking over and I can't keep straight face to
save my life, and I just started smirking. He looked
at me and he goes, you keep that ship up,
and I'm gonna put you back in housing.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yes, sir, abstitute lutely No.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He meant put you behind the pores and housing.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
That could work today. At least I get some time off. Well,
that's true vacation, all right, you don't wait. If I
were ever in jail, I'd be like, can I have
the TV remote? Can you change the channel on that TV?
Can I get a book? I want a game? I'd
be the biggest pay in the ass. Oh yeah, I'm
if I if I ever get arrested, the first thing
I'm doing is taking my clothes off, pulling up and
screwing with the dirt team.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
They're gonna work for their money that day.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I thought you were gonna say, smear and pool all
over yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No, I'm not that crazy. How many times have you
practiced that, Melissa? How many times has he practice that?
Not when she's home?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Apparently I thought that she's felt funny.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Slip off the bed. Okay, yeah, let's dig ourselves out
of that. It's a slippery hole. Going back to the
slippery slope, going back to the first story. They're slightly used. Anyways,
they too fine.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Now, you you mentioned something, and this is something that
I am very curious about. You said you have a
story about a demon girl. And here we are in October.
You know, we've got ghouls and all this out there,
and Halloween coming up and Scary Curtis over here. Wait,
tell us about this demon girl.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It was like six months after I got hired. I'm
on nights.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It was one of the little bit that I was
on the overnights, like midnight schedule, and I'll walk into
the infirmary and I hear this scene, right, I look
at the Fermi house.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I was like, what is that again? Was the voice
of an eye album? Knew dope? Voice of a demon? Sorry?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And she goes go find out and I was like, okay,
you know I learned when I hear the terms go
find out, I am in fact not going and finding out.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I'm turning around and leaving. So I walk down.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I'm trying to find this voice, and it's the it's
almost to the point of you know, the Sonda no no, no,
whatever that is. She's standing while they're always naked, but
they are naked facing the window, and she's just holding
her her mattress, just holding it, singing, and all of
(11:11):
a sudden she just turns her head and looks at me.
I said, that's about enough. I'm leaving because I didn't
make a sound walking down. She had no idea I
was there. And she just kind of like turned her
head and smiled, almost like it was out of a movie.
And I was like, yeah, I'm white, but I'm not.
Let's go see what the problem is white. I'm out.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I left.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
They say evil since it's evil, so well, I've been
told that plenty of times.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So was she just high or she just I think
she was just mental. Oh she was tasting colors, man like. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It was one of the creepiest things I've ever.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, but now when you said she turned her head,
it wasn't all the way around.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Was did the body turn? I don't know that I
would have had a job after that night she did that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It's like, yeah, she's just facing the window and the
head's the only thing that turns.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, what was she doing?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Said, She's holding the mattress in front of the window,
just standing there, singing, holding the mattress. I thinks she's
about to go out the window and land on the mattress.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't know. But the windows that actually that was
the only bars we had in the jail, or on
those windows. Our jail doesn't have bars.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, and that's you know, common misconception for folks. Most
most modern jails don't have bars.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, I wouldn't think they would. I mean to have
bartender got dad jokes today, Uh, they've got bars. And
if they had bars in prison, I'll go. I mean,
I have nothing better to do. I take a couple
of days off. Y'all have shiner in there.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I'll tell you shiner al right right in the.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Bars in jail. I like it. It would definitely pick
up morale. I fully believe.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Just everyone gets two beers twelve hour shift, you won't
be in tox kid, but she'll be just buzzled enough
not to give a ship.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Get your get your two drink tickets up to check in,
which is good.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I mean to drinks, not to give a ship, because
we know some people in jails like to share their ship.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah so much, you know what, fight each other? I
don't care.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
No no glass bottles, so yeah, no paper cubs, sea cups.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It's like the fool. No class, no class guys. Yeah,
no running, no running with scissors.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Now, you mentioned something about a dog, and I don't
know if this was a a a dog that would
just aspire to be a law enforcement canine or what.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
But tell us about this this dog.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I was tasked to go have an inmates sign his
bonds or her bonds. I can't remember who was at
the hospital, and we all took a county car. It
was marked, but not marked. They just said conkuty Sheriff's office.
No lights on it. Because we're jailer's what are we
gonna do? Make traffic stops. They've done it before. That's
why there's no lights on it. There's always a reason.
(14:15):
I'm not saying it our department. I'm just saying people
have done dumb, dumb stuff before.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Good way to distance yourself there. Yeah, so you know,
I stopped.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I want to get something down on my out of
my car, which our parks right next to the sally port.
So I just kind of stopped, left the door open
because I'm five feet from the car. I turn around
and there's a chocolate lab sitting in the driver's seat.
I was like, where the hell did you come from? Like,
I didn't see him at all. So I was like,
come on, come on, he just sat there, and he
gets up, goes to the passenger seat. I called the
(14:46):
housing lieutenant because it was a weekend. I was like,
I have a dog in the car. What do you
mean you have a dog in the car.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
There?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
There is a labrador rechiever in the passengers sheet of
this squad car.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Can't we keep him, sir?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
He won't get out, and I don't want to see
if he's in a bite or not. We'll just drive
him to to minimum security, right, I'm not sure if
he's gonna bite me, So I'm gonna get in the
car with him locked inside. All right, yeah, I'll do that.
So I called them minimum security sergeant. I was like,
hey man, I got an escapee in this car, and
he was like you have a what Yeah, send the
(15:25):
team out. So I'm driving down and I was like,
calm down, just come outside. So he walks outside and
I was like, he won't get out of the car,
and he was like, opens the door, dog just stares
at him. It took us like twenty minutes to get
this dog out the car. He finally went inside, got
like a piece of sandwich or something. Dog hops out
animal shelter righting. So he just walks on up to
(15:45):
the animal shelter.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Smart dog.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Okay, question, why didn't you guys go to the animal
shelter in the first place and have one of them
come out and get him.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Because people who make more money than me didn't tell
me to do that. I was told by somebody that
made more money than me and had a badge to
go where I went. So if it was a stupid idea,
it wasn't mine.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Still just as stupid, that's fair enough. It's pretty good
it's a pretty good. So the explanation.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
This is offbeat, the light side of law enforcement. Check

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Let's welcome Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration
into the studio. Their numbers eight three three Cook DFW,
the website, cookdfw dot com. How have you been, Daniel,
I've been doing fantastic, Steve.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
We are betting a little busy. We've been having lots
of inspections and so it's been hectic, but we're making
it happen.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
And that's that's good for business. It's good for business.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Sometimes it's unfortunate some of these events that come through
our area, but that's what we're here for.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
That's that's exactly it I mean. And that's peace of
mind knowing that you guys are here to help folks
out should should they need, should they need that assistance.
And when we talk about that, there's you know, there's
a lot to consider when having your roof replaced. Yeah, absolutely, Steve.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
I mean, there are a ton of things that could
happen when when you're having you know, property you know
modified or replaced or anything like that. So it's a
perfect opportunity to really sit back and think about what
kind of materials that you want to use this time.
You know, a lot of times, you know, you can
upgrade to a Class three or a Class four shingle.
Sometimes you may want to upgrade to a designer shingle,
(17:33):
something that really stands out, you know, makes your home
look very appealing, you know, from the street and different
in some applications, may be a perfect opportunity to maybe
see about transitioning from an asphalt shingle roof to a
to maybe some a metal roof of some kind. And
you know, also a perfect time to look at ventilation.
(17:54):
Do you have enough attic ventilation? Do you want to
try to lower your energy costs and and keep you know,
hot air from building up inside your home. So these
are all perfect opportunities to look see if you can
take advantage of an unfortunate situation where you have to
have repairs done at your house, but maybe upgrade, maybe modify,
make your home better. If you're going to have to
(18:15):
go through a scenario we're replacing your roof.
Speaker 2 (18:19):

about uh, pepper spray in a silhouette, which really wasn't
fair because you actually I had to in my show notes.
(21:44):
I had to write the word silhouette. I was trying
to sound it out.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
So I'd probably still misspelled it too, just like everybody
else does.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh, I'm sure I did. I'm sure I did. Next
I'm gonna write down amphetamine and then what was the
other affid?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
David?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
God, damn, that's a bitch every time. Okay, hey, ayways,
pepper spray and is silhouette.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
So we're dealing with the guy in the holding tank
that is not playing nice so ready to fight. He's
backed off into a corner on a bench in a
partition and at this point it's there's no asking nicely.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
He's gonna fight us.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
So guy on his left me, I'm are on his right,
and my partner who has the can of pepper, and
we go to grab this guy. And as we grab
him my partner deploys the pepper spray. There's two types
of deployment in pepper spray. You have stream and you
have cone slash fog. Well, we didn't use the stream,
(22:42):
and our pepper spray was uh really really really.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Potent kind of stuff. It's actually exactly saber ed. That's
what we have. Yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah, taste to me does m K three has nothing
on saber red some of the worst purpose crab ever.
Just smelling it sextual, breath away, well refreshing, Yeah, to
be their commercial it it he sprays it from so
he sprays it from so far that it it hits
(23:18):
me and the inmate. And when we get done putting
him in handcuffs and everything, they go back and there
is a perfect silhouette with a few of my body
and the inmate's body like a crime scene had just occurred.
Orange white wall orange, just perfect. And it's from here
(23:43):
over my face is burnt orange.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So from the middle of your face, your nose off to.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
The off to the side, and I wear contacts, Oh
even better. So if you leave these contacts in your eyeballs,
it can melt, melt the eye contacts, your eyeballs. So
I had to go into the nurses station and remove
my contacts because the only thing that was saving my
eyeball were my contacts. And as soon as the contact
came out, that pepper got underneath that.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I would almost rather be kicked in the groin than
have that particular pain again.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
That hurts so bad. He come walking around the corner.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
He was like, quip, bit a bitch, and I was like,
this is your fault here, would you like to use
one of my contacts? And the and all you hear
is the inmates screaming because he's he's in the same position.
He was like upside he's getting put on the restraint bed.
He's pleading, just give me some milk.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, something, let me.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
That was the worst day of my life in the
academy when they spread us with this stuff. I mean
it goes. It was probably seven days later. I still
feel like a grit in my eyes. I got used
to it, so get used to that.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We would if they were still being asked to us,
and we'd let them go shower and get it off
of it. We'd give them all the soap and everything
that they wanted. I might just forget to tell them
to bend over.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, I've been for yeah, lean four absolutely. Oh like
it burns, It burns, keep right in your mouth.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It's gonna keep burning because it's in there now.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Everything runs down. Here'll be there for a few days,
just like us.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
It's now out of your eyes, but it is now
in your around your twigenberries.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I learned. I learned real quick.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Milk is the first choice because water actually has a
ceilant on. So when you're eating peppers and you drink water,
it steals that into your tongue. Milk has something in
there that breaks it down and washes it away.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Well, and obviously my first choice is just not even
mess with the pepper spray in the first place.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Well, I got tired of fighting people.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
So yeah, and you know that's the one thing about
pepper spray. Stuff's nasty. If someone gets sprayed, everybody gets sprayed. Yeah,
it goes all over the place.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, not to have the cone, it's a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Well, that's why I decided to be the one spraying
instead of being the one around the spray is because
I don't have to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
M Yeah, that's Stuff's that stuff's nasty and it works
for the most part.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I mean there's very few people unless it's methamphetamines or PCP,
which people on both of those and it doesn't affect
them at all.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
No, I can't imagine when I can't imagine taking a
taking your contact out after you've got it in your eye.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
In the first I had to do that more than
one time because.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Actually crying open your eye to get to your contact.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Let's just wear glasses.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Well I did, but I got I got tired because
I intentionally bought metal frames that were pendable, so when
i'd get hit, they you know, bend out and I
pick them up and bend them back and I'd put
them in.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
What you need is the will Chamberlaine goggles. Man, I just.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I just have a punishable face. I just have to
face that image. You're like, I'm going to fight you
right now.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, I can see just God here, what are you
talking about? Yeah, A punchable face. That's why I put
you between me and him. It is pretty punishable. I mean,
she's Lautina. She swings on me at least.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
One Oh, I don't blame her. Well, we can't hear
about this. We will bill you from a marriage counseling.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Okay, now you also just you also told us about
being left left in a pod and explain to our
listeners with you know, obviously jails have they're they're designed
different ways, and in your particular place, you're talking about
a pod. What what does a pod look like?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
So pod, and it's a direct supervision jail. So the
most direct supervisions have clusters, and inside that cluster is
our pods, which are the housing units, and they're usually
two decks, and then in that ood is one officer.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
So it's like an open room with individual sales going
around it.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yes and no.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
So you have open style, which is literally just an
open dorm room, and you have bunks that you can
just look at, and then you also have actual cells.
The top cells had one person in at the bottom
cells had two. Okay, right, so some actually had cell
doors and then a couple pods did not. It was
just open dormitory style, so no privacy whatsoever unless you're
(28:31):
in the shower, and even then there's no doors. It's
just hey, we set a chair out or something. Somebody's
taking a shower, respect or privacy whatever. And yeah, so
I respond to a fight, and I go to get
this guy and somebody pops off pepper before I had
the chance to and it hit me across the face again.
(28:56):
Sabor ed, and you know, I get them handcuffed and
help them get him up, and I'm kind of sitting
there waiting for a second, and then I realized it
is really quiet in here. So I was able to
force my eye open a little bit, and I was like,
these little punks left me.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
So wow, that's and they're the ones that sprayed you too.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah. I get up.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
And I'm I'm again, I've gotten so used to pepper
spray that I can kind of force my eye open
without having.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
To do that. You got to be able to work
through it, right.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So I'm in the one of the further furthest clusters
and I'm walking all the way back and they see
me walking like with the wall, and they're like, why
does why does sargant Patrick cook? He's really mad right now.
And I entered the infirmary and they're like, oh oops,
(29:50):
I said, which one of you left me in there?
Without any help and unable to see it got real quiet.
I said, get me some milk now, and some cookies.
The nurses were.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Like, oh, he's pissed. I was.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I wasn't super pissed, but I was like, y'all didn't
have the the the conscience to be like, are sergeants
sitting on the ground full of pepper spray? We should
probably help him, you know what, he deserves it. We're going, wow.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You know, I wouldn't say it's a direct correlation, you know,
on you.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I mean, yeah, how were you as a sergeant?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I was a pretty decent sergeant. They thought I was
going to be real bad. And then after a while
they're like, oh, he leaves us alone and actually writes
us up for positive stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh huh yeah, I mean hopefully that doesn't reflect on
what your guys thought of you as a sergeant, that
they pepper sprayed you and threw you inside of jail
cell and all ditched you.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I actually got some I got some payback to one
of my two sentences one time. Who wasn't even supposed
to be at work that day.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
No wait a minute, See these are your subordinates and
they you're their sergeant. You get pepper sprayed, putting a
cell and abandoned and.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Oh no, I wasn't putting a cell. I was in
the day room, but I still got left there sitting
on the floor.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But now you you did this to your lieutenant, not
on purpose, and I didn't leave him anywhere. Things happen, yeah,
tell us about it.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
So we respond to a removal in the kitchen, and
that one is dangerous and of itself.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
But removal like if somebody is not following the.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Rules, creating a scene, creating you know, they need to
be separated because at this point there they're a disruption.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
He's looking for a snack and they're not gonna let
him have one the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
The dangerous part about a removal in the kitchen when
you're in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
What is kitchen knives exactly? So we don't.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Could be a fork, spoon, could be cut up, can
could be you know, because they have the big giant
corn cans and green bean cans and which actually calling
kind does pretty good because they grow a lot of
their own vegetables very nice, so they actually eat pretty.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Well at call canny.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
But so I respond, you know, I got two lieutenants
sitting there, and I don't think I was a sergeant
yet I don't remember, and he's off in this corner,
in a room around the corner from the actual kitchen,
and this kid's like, I'm not getting on the ground
and me and lieutenant look at each other AND's like,
well you are here, you are. And another lieutenant shows
(32:28):
up and we go to grab him, and I trying
to stay far enough away to avoid needling, which is
if it's too close to the the power of the
I guess CO two in there can needle your eye
and you know, damage your eye. That's different than noodling.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
It is needling. Have you ever been needling? No? No,
have you ever been noodling? Uh?
Speaker 3 (32:52):
The I have Okay, all right, So I hit this
kid and.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
So we go to take him down and is like
hit him again, and I was like, away, and I
hits him. What I didn't know was as I hit him,
one of the lieutenants moved into the into the Okay,
that's on him. He comes walking out and he's like this.
He was like, next time, I've got you, and I
(33:21):
was like, what did I do? He goes, I know
that I'm not even supposed to be here today. I'm
here to help out, and I was like again, showed up.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Again, your fault that he came to help out and
that he got in the crossfire, the all the ones
that gave me pepper spray. M hmm. I told you
I'll stop fighting people. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. But
what I do want to know about.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I want to know about a story you mentioned about
being chased by some wildlife.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Oh yeah, So.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
We have to do an outside around, you know, checking
the perimeter of the fence line, checking the extra doors,
make sure nothing's unlocked. That sure, because those exterior doors
are direct exits.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Really there's no fence or dead man's own or anything.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Well, we have a fence around it, but they work
an honor system. There's always somewhere in a fence line
that's weak. That's if they have enough time to find it.
It's called the weakest link. Yes, it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
The week is Chainley got some puns today, don't we. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
So I'm walking around and I see something moving on
to go in my eye and it's getting darkish because
it's the second one of the day and I was
on overtime. I was moving officer for that day, and
I see it coming at me and I was like,
what is that? Now granted, I'm I'm armed, I'm an
(34:48):
I'm an armed officer doing our outside round of wait.
Was armed because in case we ever encountered something, we
were able to defend ourselves or you know, not that
we're gonna go straight for the gun. But I had
pepper spray. You know, I had my radio.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Leave the pepper pepper spray long man. That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
You know what if you can't see, you can't fight, uh,
or you can't see what I'm fixing to do.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Well, that's that's true. But pepper spray though, oh I
used it.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I used it, but it was to reduce, you know,
use of force, because if you can't see, can't see me,
you can't see what I'm fixing to do or my
team's gonna do, and I can more safely put you
in handcuffs and instead of you know, so I used
it to get into fist fights. I used to do
(35:37):
it before I was able to use pepper spray. But
I use it to my advantage to avoid you know,
more physical.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Activity.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
So on this day, on this day, I realized, I
was like, oh, that's a skunk and he's pissed, so like.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Had he escaped from the jail or was he just nah,
I was on the because he had strung. He's like
maybe he's an inmate.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
So I realized, like, oh, he's coming after me, you know,
like he gets close enough, he throws his hind legs
up right. I guess that's what they do, and they're
about to spray somebody.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
He's about to pepper spray you. Yeah, yeah, And I
was like nah, I like, I know this guy pepper
sprays everybody. Get him first and they game back. So
the bad part is it wasn't like he can't see,
he can't fight, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Exactly, So it wasn't really it was like in the seventies.
I've got my Kevlar vest on because I had.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Temperature seventies, not the nineteen seventies. I look damn good
for if that was the seventies. So I am.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
I am in a dead sprint because this little bigger's fast.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
I am.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
I'm full blown sprinting as fast as I can with
an extra pounds of gear on me. And I finally
get to the door where I get inside, and I'm
running at the steps because that one door stays open
for a second, and I guess it stopped chasing me
at one point, and I have been running for longer
than it had stopped chasing me because I wasn't looking
back to see if it was still coming. So I
(37:12):
get inside it and I am profusely sweating, Like they're like, dude,
what is wrong with you? I was like nothing, Yeah, no,
They're like, dude, it's seventy degrees. Say did you run it?
I was like, yeah, yeah, maybe they did, not telling anyone.
I'm fighting for my life not to smell like a dumpster. Yeah,
and there's so I told no one there's a skunk
(37:33):
out there. I was like, you know what, I didn't
know about it, and neither can they cue up the cameras.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
I would love to see the cameras because he took
off running and it probably chased him for like four
foot Yet he ran the other seventy seven over the
door and like what happened?
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Even the Skunk's like, hey, I was just coming to
say hello.

Noble, very very I didn't do this. Oh I like
that distance absolutely reflecting ahead we used. We did have
this coworker who loved to play practical jokes. We'll call
him c B. Perfect And did he have a funny laugh?
It was for the guy with the funny laugh. Oh,

Speaker 3 (42:40):
So we're we're sitting there and CEB is like, look

had made a farmer's only page for our friend because
(43:03):
he's very country.
Speaker 1 (43:05):

like looking for love and all the wrong places.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
For love and farmers only pages. Yeah, Curtis can sing,
he's good at that, but farmers only. I had no
idea that that existed. But you know, but fans only.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
I never heard of her, never heard of her.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
I honestly think it was created as satire when the
dating sites first started popping up, but it ended up
being a real thing.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Well, you know, farmers got to stick together, man.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
And it was just the way he'd like put this
profile together was just perfectly hilarious because you could tell
like it wasn't real, but he was.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Dave was so mad that he didn't realize it. Well
I did.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
I mean hopefully somewhere in the profile says, you know,
a jolly laugh.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
You know that he's got this jolly laughter? How did
he laugh again? Perfect? Perfect? Yes, he already sounded like
a donkey. Hey all, hey, I'm not gonna lie. That

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Did they call you, Dano. No, it was a diabeto.
Diabeto because I have diabetes, because you have diabetes. I
thought that meant because everybody who comes into jail says
they have diabetes and needs to go to the hospital. No, no, no,
you can't lie to me. I know who has diabetes.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Wow, like a diabetes detection machine.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Diabetic machineabetic machine.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Wow. Now justin you did bring ad bring a guest
with you today an audience member. I did. I brought
my girlfriend, Melissa.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Hi, I'm Melissa, I'm MESA. Well, very good. It's always
nice when we have audience members here in the studios
still see if I'm actually funny or not. You know what,
We'll I'm hoping that you are, but we're going to
let her make that determination. So Melissa, we will ask
a question of our audience member. Is he generally funny
(03:35):
looking looking?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay? She said, he tries. Let's get into this now.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You had mentioned that in your in your time over
at Colin County there there were pranks that were conducted
on fellow co workers, as is in all good agencies.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Absolutely, and that's that's part of the job.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You gotta have fun doing the Yeah, you mentioned something
about a prankin a coworker in involving a sex I
don't know prop.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh, yeah, we had this real tall, goofy coworker who
just loved to screw at our sergeant and he was
inventory in a person from Plan OPDS inmates coming in
and you just hear his laugh.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
He just has one of those laughs. Wow, you know
when I got a couple of donkeys and they.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
That's what I was actually aiming for, because that's about
what he sounds like. He's going to be the best dudes.
He's one of the best dudes in the world. But
you just once you hear that laugh, you know that
it's fixing to go south. So we turn around and
he you just hear a pop and there is a
a sex toy that consuction to things stuck to the
(05:01):
sergeant's computer screen.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, we can tell by your hand motion what it is.
Unless you're unless you have shake weights at home, we
know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Well, I mean you got to get it on that screen.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, do it, hard man, hard lap it on there.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And so the sergeant was downstairs and he comes back down.
Before he reaches his computer, he turns and he says
to that officer. I won't say his name, he does,
he's not there anymore. What the f did you do
to my computer screen? And once again all your years
(05:39):
and we're all rolling because it's clearly him because he's
the one with the bag open, and there's other items
that are buzzing inside this bag, and he's just having
the time of his life and no one could take
him seriously all day long.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Was it brought in by an I guess or somebody
coming in? Yeah, it was a homeless person who collects toys,
so it was used, Oh roughly used.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Were there more than was it? Eight devices? Six? Six
devices in a ticket?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
But one was like vibrating so hard it was just
bouncing on the table. And he just left it there
just because he thought it was the funniest shit in
the world.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I bet it was. Don't don't wear the batteries down?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Oh yeah, well, And I can't help but thinking of
National Lampoon's Christmas vacation when you're when you're talking about
this a bag shaking and stuff, because if y'all remember
when Chevy Chase, whenever one of the who's it ed,
No I forgot someone, someone showed up and she wrapped
a present and she'd wrapped her cat up in it,
(06:43):
and he was trying to hold the present. He's like,
is bouncing around and shaken. I could just see him
checking in the inventory of this person's property's holding his
bag and the bags just vibrating all over the place.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, it was a plan. OPD knew it was in
the bag.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And they're just roll and laughing out there because he's
having the time of his life. He's got he's got
sex toys vibrating on the table, suction cup and one
to the computer screen, just throwing them everywhere like it
was nothing. And boss comes down and get out, go
to lunch.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's just a good time. See, that's that's fun. You
gotta have fun in.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I would say good clean fun, but it wouldn't clean.
It's not clean fun, but it was fun.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Established it was used now you Yeah, anyways, Uh you
mentioned something about phone pranks as well.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, I uh, I can change my voice up a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And I used to mess with my lieutenants when they'd
call down there because I didn't have anything else to do.
He'd call down. I used the phone can County Brent
to ask how can I help you.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I like that. That's kind.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I called booking. I don't know what's going on. I've
been getting their phone calls all day.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
All right, I'll call him back. Wait about thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Con Kenny front, Yes, how can he?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
This is your lieutenant, it's my lieutenant. Awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
He'd call back a third time con Kenny Front desk,
and you just hear as he's slamming the phone down.
He'd just said something I'm not gonna say.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Pop.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
He's sitting there at the book and usk and he
come walking over and I can't keep straight face to
save my life, and I just started smirking. He looked
at me and he goes, you keep that ship up,
and I'm gonna put you back in housing.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yes, sir, abstitute lutely No.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He meant put you behind the pores and housing.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
That could work today. At least I get some time off. Well,
that's true vacation, all right, you don't wait. If I
were ever in jail, I'd be like, can I have
the TV remote? Can you change the channel on that TV?
Can I get a book? I want a game? I'd
be the biggest pay in the ass. Oh yeah, I'm
if I if I ever get arrested, the first thing
I'm doing is taking my clothes off, pulling up and
screwing with the dirt team.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
They're gonna work for their money that day.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I thought you were gonna say, smear and pool all
over yourself.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No, I'm not that crazy. How many times have you
practiced that, Melissa? How many times has he practice that?
Not when she's home?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Apparently I thought that she's felt funny.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Slip off the bed. Okay, yeah, let's dig ourselves out
of that. It's a slippery hole. Going back to the
slippery slope, going back to the first story. They're slightly used. Anyways,
they too fine.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Now, you you mentioned something, and this is something that
I am very curious about. You said you have a
story about a demon girl. And here we are in October.
You know, we've got ghouls and all this out there,
and Halloween coming up and Scary Curtis over here. Wait,
tell us about this demon girl.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It was like six months after I got hired. I'm
on nights.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It was one of the little bit that I was
on the overnights, like midnight schedule, and I'll walk into
the infirmary and I hear this scene, right, I look
at the Fermi house.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I was like, what is that again? Was the voice
of an eye album? Knew dope? Voice of a demon? Sorry?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And she goes go find out and I was like, okay,
you know I learned when I hear the terms go
find out, I am in fact not going and finding out.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I'm turning around and leaving. So I walk down.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I'm trying to find this voice, and it's the it's
almost to the point of you know, the Sonda no no, no,
whatever that is. She's standing while they're always naked, but
they are naked facing the window, and she's just holding
her her mattress, just holding it, singing, and all of
(11:11):
a sudden she just turns her head and looks at me.
I said, that's about enough. I'm leaving because I didn't
make a sound walking down. She had no idea I
was there. And she just kind of like turned her
head and smiled, almost like it was out of a movie.
And I was like, yeah, I'm white, but I'm not.
Let's go see what the problem is white. I'm out.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I left.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
They say evil since it's evil, so well, I've been
told that plenty of times.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So was she just high or she just I think
she was just mental. Oh she was tasting colors, man like. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It was one of the creepiest things I've ever.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, but now when you said she turned her head,
it wasn't all the way around.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Was did the body turn? I don't know that I
would have had a job after that night she did that.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It's like, yeah, she's just facing the window and the
head's the only thing that turns.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, what was she doing?
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Said, She's holding the mattress in front of the window,
just standing there, singing, holding the mattress. I thinks she's
about to go out the window and land on the mattress.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't know. But the windows that actually that was
the only bars we had in the jail, or on
those windows. Our jail doesn't have bars.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, and that's you know, common misconception for folks. Most
most modern jails don't have bars.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, I wouldn't think they would. I mean to have
bartender got dad jokes today, Uh, they've got bars. And
if they had bars in prison, I'll go. I mean,
I have nothing better to do. I take a couple
of days off. Y'all have shiner in there.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
I'll tell you shiner al right right in the.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Bars in jail. I like it. It would definitely pick
up morale. I fully believe.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Just everyone gets two beers twelve hour shift, you won't
be in tox kid, but she'll be just buzzled enough
not to give a ship.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Get your get your two drink tickets up to check in,
which is good.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I mean to drinks, not to give a ship, because
we know some people in jails like to share their ship.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah so much, you know what, fight each other? I
don't care.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
No no glass bottles, so yeah, no paper cubs, sea cups.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It's like the fool. No class, no class guys. Yeah,
no running, no running with scissors.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Now, you mentioned something about a dog, and I don't
know if this was a a a dog that would
just aspire to be a law enforcement canine or what.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
But tell us about this this dog.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I was tasked to go have an inmates sign his
bonds or her bonds. I can't remember who was at
the hospital, and we all took a county car. It
was marked, but not marked. They just said conkuty Sheriff's office.
No lights on it. Because we're jailer's what are we
gonna do? Make traffic stops. They've done it before. That's
why there's no lights on it. There's always a reason.
(14:15):
I'm not saying it our department. I'm just saying people
have done dumb, dumb stuff before.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Good way to distance yourself there. Yeah, so you know,
I stopped.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
I want to get something down on my out of
my car, which our parks right next to the sally port.
So I just kind of stopped, left the door open
because I'm five feet from the car. I turn around
and there's a chocolate lab sitting in the driver's seat.
I was like, where the hell did you come from? Like,
I didn't see him at all. So I was like,
come on, come on, he just sat there, and he
gets up, goes to the passenger seat. I called the
(14:46):
housing lieutenant because it was a weekend. I was like,
I have a dog in the car. What do you
mean you have a dog in the car.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
There?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
There is a labrador rechiever in the passengers sheet of
this squad car.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Can't we keep him, sir?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
He won't get out, and I don't want to see
if he's in a bite or not. We'll just drive
him to to minimum security, right, I'm not sure if
he's gonna bite me, So I'm gonna get in the
car with him locked inside. All right, yeah, I'll do that.
So I called them minimum security sergeant. I was like,
hey man, I got an escapee in this car, and
he was like you have a what Yeah, send the
(15:25):
team out. So I'm driving down and I was like,
calm down, just come outside. So he walks outside and
I was like, he won't get out of the car,
and he was like, opens the door, dog just stares
at him. It took us like twenty minutes to get
this dog out the car. He finally went inside, got
like a piece of sandwich or something. Dog hops out
animal shelter righting. So he just walks on up to
(15:45):
the animal shelter.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Smart dog.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Okay, question, why didn't you guys go to the animal
shelter in the first place and have one of them
come out and get him.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Because people who make more money than me didn't tell
me to do that. I was told by somebody that
made more money than me and had a badge to
go where I went. So if it was a stupid idea,
it wasn't mine.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Still just as stupid, that's fair enough. It's pretty good
it's a pretty good. So the explanation.

Let's welcome Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration
into the studio. Their numbers eight three three Cook DFW,
the website, cookdfw dot com. How have you been, Daniel,
I've been doing fantastic, Steve.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
We are betting a little busy. We've been having lots
of inspections and so it's been hectic, but we're making
it happen.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
And that's that's good for business. It's good for business.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Sometimes it's unfortunate some of these events that come through
our area, but that's what we're here for.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
That's that's exactly it I mean. And that's peace of
mind knowing that you guys are here to help folks
out should should they need, should they need that assistance.
And when we talk about that, there's you know, there's
a lot to consider when having your roof replaced. Yeah, absolutely, Steve.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
I mean, there are a ton of things that could
happen when when you're having you know, property you know
modified or replaced or anything like that. So it's a
perfect opportunity to really sit back and think about what
kind of materials that you want to use this time.
You know, a lot of times, you know, you can
upgrade to a Class three or a Class four shingle.
Sometimes you may want to upgrade to a designer shingle,
(17:33):
something that really stands out, you know, makes your home
look very appealing, you know, from the street and different
in some applications, may be a perfect opportunity to maybe
see about transitioning from an asphalt shingle roof to a
to maybe some a metal roof of some kind. And
you know, also a perfect time to look at ventilation.
(17:54):
Do you have enough attic ventilation? Do you want to
try to lower your energy costs and and keep you know,
hot air from building up inside your home. So these
are all perfect opportunities to look see if you can
take advantage of an unfortunate situation where you have to
have repairs done at your house, but maybe upgrade, maybe modify,
make your home better. If you're going to have to
(18:15):
go through a scenario we're replacing your roof.

Okay, yeah that cam? That that cam? Yeah, dat cam?
All right, moving right along. I think we've dot com
the hell out of dot com. Justin you mentioned something
about uh, pepper spray in a silhouette, which really wasn't
fair because you actually I had to in my show notes.
(21:44):
I had to write the word silhouette. I was trying
to sound it out.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
So I'd probably still misspelled it too, just like everybody
else does.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh, I'm sure I did. I'm sure I did. Next
I'm gonna write down amphetamine and then what was the
other affid?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
David?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
God, damn, that's a bitch every time. Okay, hey, ayways,
pepper spray and is silhouette.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
So we're dealing with the guy in the holding tank
that is not playing nice so ready to fight. He's
backed off into a corner on a bench in a
partition and at this point it's there's no asking nicely.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
He's gonna fight us.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
So guy on his left me, I'm are on his right,
and my partner who has the can of pepper, and
we go to grab this guy. And as we grab
him my partner deploys the pepper spray. There's two types
of deployment in pepper spray. You have stream and you
have cone slash fog. Well, we didn't use the stream,
(22:42):
and our pepper spray was uh really really really.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Potent kind of stuff. It's actually exactly saber ed. That's
what we have. Yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah, taste to me does m K three has nothing
on saber red some of the worst purpose crab ever.
Just smelling it sextual, breath away, well refreshing, Yeah, to
be their commercial it it he sprays it from so
he sprays it from so far that it it hits
(23:18):
me and the inmate. And when we get done putting
him in handcuffs and everything, they go back and there
is a perfect silhouette with a few of my body
and the inmate's body like a crime scene had just occurred.
Orange white wall orange, just perfect. And it's from here
(23:43):
over my face is burnt orange.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So from the middle of your face, your nose off to.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
The off to the side, and I wear contacts, Oh
even better. So if you leave these contacts in your eyeballs,
it can melt, melt the eye contacts, your eyeballs. So
I had to go into the nurses station and remove
my contacts because the only thing that was saving my
eyeball were my contacts. And as soon as the contact
came out, that pepper got underneath that.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I would almost rather be kicked in the groin than
have that particular pain again.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
That hurts so bad. He come walking around the corner.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
He was like, quip, bit a bitch, and I was like,
this is your fault here, would you like to use
one of my contacts? And the and all you hear
is the inmates screaming because he's he's in the same position.
He was like upside he's getting put on the restraint bed.
He's pleading, just give me some milk.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, something, let me.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
That was the worst day of my life in the
academy when they spread us with this stuff. I mean
it goes. It was probably seven days later. I still
feel like a grit in my eyes. I got used
to it, so get used to that.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We would if they were still being asked to us,
and we'd let them go shower and get it off
of it. We'd give them all the soap and everything
that they wanted. I might just forget to tell them
to bend over.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, I've been for yeah, lean four absolutely. Oh like
it burns, It burns, keep right in your mouth.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
It's gonna keep burning because it's in there now.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Everything runs down. Here'll be there for a few days,
just like us.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
It's now out of your eyes, but it is now
in your around your twigenberries.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I learned. I learned real quick.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Milk is the first choice because water actually has a
ceilant on. So when you're eating peppers and you drink water,
it steals that into your tongue. Milk has something in
there that breaks it down and washes it away.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Well, and obviously my first choice is just not even
mess with the pepper spray in the first place.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Well, I got tired of fighting people.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
So yeah, and you know that's the one thing about
pepper spray. Stuff's nasty. If someone gets sprayed, everybody gets sprayed. Yeah,
it goes all over the place.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, not to have the cone, it's a little bit better.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Well, that's why I decided to be the one spraying
instead of being the one around the spray is because
I don't have to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
M Yeah, that's Stuff's that stuff's nasty and it works
for the most part.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I mean there's very few people unless it's methamphetamines or PCP,
which people on both of those and it doesn't affect
them at all.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
No, I can't imagine when I can't imagine taking a
taking your contact out after you've got it in your eye.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
In the first I had to do that more than
one time because.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Actually crying open your eye to get to your contact.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Let's just wear glasses.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Well I did, but I got I got tired because
I intentionally bought metal frames that were pendable, so when
i'd get hit, they you know, bend out and I
pick them up and bend them back and I'd put
them in.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
What you need is the will Chamberlaine goggles. Man, I just.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I just have a punishable face. I just have to
face that image. You're like, I'm going to fight you
right now.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, I can see just God here, what are you
talking about? Yeah, A punchable face. That's why I put
you between me and him. It is pretty punishable. I mean,
she's Lautina. She swings on me at least.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
One Oh, I don't blame her. Well, we can't hear
about this. We will bill you from a marriage counseling.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Okay, now you also just you also told us about
being left left in a pod and explain to our
listeners with you know, obviously jails have they're they're designed
different ways, and in your particular place, you're talking about
a pod. What what does a pod look like?
Speaker 3 (27:40):
So pod, and it's a direct supervision jail. So the
most direct supervisions have clusters, and inside that cluster is
our pods, which are the housing units, and they're usually
two decks, and then in that ood is one officer.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
So it's like an open room with individual sales going
around it.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yes and no.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
So you have open style, which is literally just an
open dorm room, and you have bunks that you can
just look at, and then you also have actual cells.
The top cells had one person in at the bottom
cells had two. Okay, right, so some actually had cell
doors and then a couple pods did not. It was
just open dormitory style, so no privacy whatsoever unless you're
(28:31):
in the shower, and even then there's no doors. It's
just hey, we set a chair out or something. Somebody's
taking a shower, respect or privacy whatever. And yeah, so
I respond to a fight, and I go to get
this guy and somebody pops off pepper before I had
the chance to and it hit me across the face again.
(28:56):
Sabor ed, and you know, I get them handcuffed and
help them get him up, and I'm kind of sitting
there waiting for a second, and then I realized it
is really quiet in here. So I was able to
force my eye open a little bit, and I was like,
these little punks left me.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
So wow, that's and they're the ones that sprayed you too.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah. I get up.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
And I'm I'm again, I've gotten so used to pepper
spray that I can kind of force my eye open
without having.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
To do that. You got to be able to work
through it, right.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So I'm in the one of the further furthest clusters
and I'm walking all the way back and they see
me walking like with the wall, and they're like, why
does why does sargant Patrick cook? He's really mad right now.
And I entered the infirmary and they're like, oh oops,
(29:50):
I said, which one of you left me in there?
Without any help and unable to see it got real quiet.
I said, get me some milk now, and some cookies.
The nurses were.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Like, oh, he's pissed. I was.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I wasn't super pissed, but I was like, y'all didn't
have the the the conscience to be like, are sergeants
sitting on the ground full of pepper spray? We should
probably help him, you know what, he deserves it. We're going, wow.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You know, I wouldn't say it's a direct correlation, you know,
on you.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I mean, yeah, how were you as a sergeant?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I was a pretty decent sergeant. They thought I was
going to be real bad. And then after a while
they're like, oh, he leaves us alone and actually writes
us up for positive stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh huh yeah, I mean hopefully that doesn't reflect on
what your guys thought of you as a sergeant, that
they pepper sprayed you and threw you inside of jail
cell and all ditched you.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It's okay.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I actually got some I got some payback to one
of my two sentences one time. Who wasn't even supposed
to be at work that day.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
No wait a minute, See these are your subordinates and
they you're their sergeant. You get pepper sprayed, putting a
cell and abandoned and.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Oh no, I wasn't putting a cell. I was in
the day room, but I still got left there sitting
on the floor.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But now you you did this to your lieutenant, not
on purpose, and I didn't leave him anywhere. Things happen, yeah,
tell us about it.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
So we respond to a removal in the kitchen, and
that one is dangerous and of itself.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
But removal like if somebody is not following the.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Rules, creating a scene, creating you know, they need to
be separated because at this point there they're a disruption.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
He's looking for a snack and they're not gonna let
him have one the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
The dangerous part about a removal in the kitchen when
you're in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
What is kitchen knives exactly? So we don't.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Could be a fork, spoon, could be cut up, can
could be you know, because they have the big giant
corn cans and green bean cans and which actually calling
kind does pretty good because they grow a lot of
their own vegetables very nice, so they actually eat pretty.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Well at call canny.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
But so I respond, you know, I got two lieutenants
sitting there, and I don't think I was a sergeant
yet I don't remember, and he's off in this corner,
in a room around the corner from the actual kitchen,
and this kid's like, I'm not getting on the ground
and me and lieutenant look at each other AND's like,
well you are here, you are. And another lieutenant shows
(32:28):
up and we go to grab him, and I trying
to stay far enough away to avoid needling, which is
if it's too close to the the power of the
I guess CO two in there can needle your eye
and you know, damage your eye. That's different than noodling.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
It is needling. Have you ever been needling? No? No,
have you ever been noodling? Uh?
Speaker 3 (32:52):
The I have Okay, all right, So I hit this
kid and.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
So we go to take him down and is like
hit him again, and I was like, away, and I
hits him. What I didn't know was as I hit him,
one of the lieutenants moved into the into the Okay,
that's on him. He comes walking out and he's like this.
He was like, next time, I've got you, and I
(33:21):
was like, what did I do? He goes, I know
that I'm not even supposed to be here today. I'm
here to help out, and I was like again, showed up.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Again, your fault that he came to help out and
that he got in the crossfire, the all the ones
that gave me pepper spray. M hmm. I told you
I'll stop fighting people. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. But
what I do want to know about.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I want to know about a story you mentioned about
being chased by some wildlife.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Oh yeah, So.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
We have to do an outside around, you know, checking
the perimeter of the fence line, checking the extra doors,
make sure nothing's unlocked. That sure, because those exterior doors
are direct exits.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Really there's no fence or dead man's own or anything.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Well, we have a fence around it, but they work
an honor system. There's always somewhere in a fence line
that's weak. That's if they have enough time to find it.
It's called the weakest link. Yes, it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
The week is Chainley got some puns today, don't we. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
So I'm walking around and I see something moving on
to go in my eye and it's getting darkish because
it's the second one of the day and I was
on overtime. I was moving officer for that day, and
I see it coming at me and I was like,
what is that? Now granted, I'm I'm armed, I'm an
(34:48):
I'm an armed officer doing our outside round of wait.
Was armed because in case we ever encountered something, we
were able to defend ourselves or you know, not that
we're gonna go straight for the gun. But I had
pepper spray. You know, I had my radio.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Leave the pepper pepper spray long man. That's yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
You know what if you can't see, you can't fight, uh,
or you can't see what I'm fixing to do.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Well, that's that's true. But pepper spray though, oh I
used it.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I used it, but it was to reduce, you know,
use of force, because if you can't see, can't see me,
you can't see what I'm fixing to do or my
team's gonna do, and I can more safely put you
in handcuffs and instead of you know, so I used
it to get into fist fights. I used to do
(35:37):
it before I was able to use pepper spray. But
I use it to my advantage to avoid you know,
more physical.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Activity.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
So on this day, on this day, I realized, I
was like, oh, that's a skunk and he's pissed, so like.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Had he escaped from the jail or was he just nah,
I was on the because he had strung. He's like
maybe he's an inmate.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
So I realized, like, oh, he's coming after me, you know,
like he gets close enough, he throws his hind legs
up right. I guess that's what they do, and they're
about to spray somebody.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
He's about to pepper spray you. Yeah, yeah, And I
was like nah, I like, I know this guy pepper
sprays everybody. Get him first and they game back. So
the bad part is it wasn't like he can't see,
he can't fight, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Exactly, So it wasn't really it was like in the seventies.
I've got my Kevlar vest on because I had.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Temperature seventies, not the nineteen seventies. I look damn good
for if that was the seventies. So I am.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
I am in a dead sprint because this little bigger's fast.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
I am.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
I'm full blown sprinting as fast as I can with
an extra pounds of gear on me. And I finally
get to the door where I get inside, and I'm
running at the steps because that one door stays open
for a second, and I guess it stopped chasing me
at one point, and I have been running for longer
than it had stopped chasing me because I wasn't looking
back to see if it was still coming. So I
(37:12):
get inside it and I am profusely sweating, Like they're like, dude,
what is wrong with you? I was like nothing, Yeah, no,
They're like, dude, it's seventy degrees. Say did you run it?
I was like, yeah, yeah, maybe they did, not telling anyone.
I'm fighting for my life not to smell like a dumpster. Yeah,
and there's so I told no one there's a skunk
(37:33):
out there. I was like, you know what, I didn't
know about it, and neither can they cue up the cameras.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
I would love to see the cameras because he took
off running and it probably chased him for like four
foot Yet he ran the other seventy seven over the
door and like what happened?
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Even the Skunk's like, hey, I was just coming to
say hello.

had made a farmer's only page for our friend because
(43:03):
