Starting point is 00:00:44 So how you do it. Clinton Jaws. The episode, I don't know. It's called the Hotline 604-33025-12. I was at my mom's house the other day. And there was music going on in the house. And I'm like, Mom. Like, I was so proud of her.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Like, Mom, there's music going? Just like, yeah, Clint. The nights are long and lonely. But it was just nice that she had music in the house. Like, you would never, there'd be, my dad would have said, Shut it off, Carol. But then she had to throw on those really lonely at night.
Starting point is 00:01:31 I don't know why I opened up with that. I was going to open up with something else. I wrote it down. She's single. I didn't write that down. She hasn't been single since she was 19. You imagine? Can you imagine being 80 and single?
Starting point is 00:01:52 I don't. I guess that'd be hard. I don't know if I'd want to be single at 80. Wouldn't mind being single at 50 if I was 50. I shouldn't have said that. I was just kidding. Here's this, okay. You know, I was told not to, and guys, I'm trying to get back to normal, to be honest with you. I know I'm not myself.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Chewing gum. I'll get to that in a second. It's nicotine gum. I know I'm not, I know, I know I shouldn't say this. That's why I need to say it, right? I, uh, okay, I got a woodstove. I got a wood stove in my house. installed it last year. I think it was last year. And I love it. It keeps, I love,
Starting point is 00:02:45 wood makes you hot, right? Wood makes, wood feels good. Do you know what I mean? Like in the house? But how do you get the ashes out? You have to do it manually. So I'll get a box. I'll find an old box. And I'll put it on the floor and I'll scoop the ashes out. And I'll fill up that box. But this box, I didn't take it outside. I didn't dispose of it. I didn't take it to the garbage. I didn't take it to the dump. I just left it by the wood stove.
Starting point is 00:03:20 And my son comes down. He's 14 years old. And annoyingly, he starts kicking the box. And there's a slit in the box where the ashes can pop up. And I didn't want him making a mess. And I said, okay, Colson, just stop kicking it. And he says, why? And I said, because that's your grandma.
Starting point is 00:03:41 and dad's ashes are in there. He goes, Dad, come on. No, they're not. I said, yeah, they are. And he peaks in there. He goes, Dad, that's sand. And I'm like, no, Colson.
Starting point is 00:03:55 That's 100% ashes. And he looked at me and he went, Dad, I was kicking it. And I'm like, yeah, I know. You were boot fucking grandpa. I thought it was funny. I didn't think he'd really think I was serious. He goes upstairs and he notifies
Starting point is 00:04:12 the wife, the woman, of what I said. She actually thought I brought Grandpa home, and the box was beside the... She runs downstairs and says, what? Do you have them here? And I said, no, I was just kidding around. It was a joke. Oh, really funny, Clint. Oh, that's...
Starting point is 00:04:35 You don't say that to a little kid, Clint, okay? So I wasn't popular, and... I don't know. cop and me, right? I probably just lost a bunch of subscribers by telling that story. But you got to, I mean, we're sickos. We're sickos. We make fun of people. I wasn't making fun of anybody, really. You make fun of the situation. That's how you, that's how I coped as a police officer. Seen 500 dead bodies. I couldn't go into every single spot. and mourn with a family every time.
Starting point is 00:05:20 I had to make some jokes with my partners, right? I used to scare the living hell out of the new constables that would show up and see a body for the first time. Probably shouldn't have told that story. I'm chewing gum. I quit smoking. Haven't had a drag. I won't smoke again.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I won't even do a cigar and I won't vape. But every now and then I'll have a stick of nickel. Not in the morning. Like, man, God damn it. I used to love mornings. Sometimes, like I woke up at 4.30. Usually I'd have a cigarette. But, so I wake up at 4.30 this morning.
Starting point is 00:06:08 And I take a break. And then I go back to sleep. Thank God I fell back asleep till 9. Thank God. I mean, that never happens. Usually I'll wake up. I'll have eight cigarettes, five to six cups of coffee. And I loved it.
Starting point is 00:06:21 It was the best moment of the day for me. Mornings. I love mornings. I hate mornings now. I can't stand mornings. There's nothing to do. There's literally nothing to do. I love smoking.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I loved it had me. The smokes, they had me. And I loved that. It had me. There is nothing better than smoking cigarettes. I wish it was healthier for you, but it's not. Maybe it got the best of me. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I quit. Now I'm doing the nicorette. Every now and then I'll throw in a loggins and I'll suck on that to death. Just a little piece of nicotine. You don't pisses me off. The kids are like, Dad, what's that? What are you putting in your mouth? I thought you quit smoking.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Oh, he did quit smoking. Okay. It's nicotine. It's like caffeine. It's okay. Well, I went to the store one day. A couple weeks ago. And they have these nicotine pouches.
Starting point is 00:07:21 It's a little pouch. It looks like a cocaine, like a little sack filled with cocaine. It looks like little cocaine sacks, but they're not. It's nicotine. And you shove it in the side of your mouth. Unbelievable. They're unbelievable. Joe Rogan's doing them.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Tucker Carlson's doing them. These nicotine pouches. And they came to Canada. And they're in British Columbia. So I started buying them. And I'm like, this is great. This is great. It's really helping me quit smoking.
Starting point is 00:07:59 So I go to the smokestack in Port-Alberny to buy them because I'm out. I'm about to be out. I'm sucking on my last one. And I go to the counter and I go, this is what I want. And they go, oh, sorry, no, we don't sell them anymore. I'm like, what are you talking about? Oh, where can I get them? No, you can't get them.
Starting point is 00:08:18 You can't get them in BC anymore. They cut it off. The only place you can get them, is at the pharmacy, but they're not at the pharmacies yet. So I go home. I'm like, and I actually said to him, I said, well, it looks like I'm going to start smoking again. I go home and I start Googling. I call all the gas stations.
Starting point is 00:08:37 No. Health Canada said they're forbidden to sell them. So they're gone. I even called weed shops in town to see if they had them. No place in Port-Hol-Burney has them. So I start researching this. you would think they would have warned me. Isn't that what you do?
Starting point is 00:08:58 You warn somebody? Because it was a really great thing to help me quit smoking. So this pops up. Let's watch it together. Can I just say, what the hell is this over here? I'm scared to click on it. Oh, it's gone. Damn it.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Yeah, by the way, RC&P, you're allowed to smoke marijuana now. I had a five minute bit on that. Now I can't even... Material destroyed. Not happy about it. Okay, here's the video. Okay, this is the reason why they banned it. Only in BC, by the way.
Starting point is 00:09:39 It's only British Columbia. Getting tired of this world. Because it's a small pouch that's inserted close to the gum, a youth can use it even in a gym class. They can use it in a science class. It just pops up inside the mouth. It's really hard to detect. And the packaging is so small that it's stored in,
Starting point is 00:10:00 That it's... You can't detect it, guys. That's why they got rid of it. It's easily put into a pocket or a backpack. A popular product that helps people quit smoking is being... Helps people quit smoking. Not anymore. You want to know why?
Starting point is 00:10:15 Because you can't get it. It's not at the pharmacies. You would think... ...being put behind the counter to keep it out of the hands of minors. Well, then why don't they put cigarettes behind the counters of pharmacies? of pharmacies to keep them out of the hands at minors. So dumb. So dumb.
Starting point is 00:10:40 This is our government in British Columbia. Part of new Ministry of Health Regulations, Zonic is one nicotine pouch product that will only be available through a pharmacist. No. Because I went to the pharmacist and I can't get it. This will be a regulation of the pharmacy. This will be a regulation of the pharmacy. Why?
Starting point is 00:11:05 Why? Operations and drug scheduling act. Is he drunk? Operations and drug scheduling act, it's clear. It will apply to all bucone nicotine patches. And all of them will be sold behind the counter at a pharmacy on the direction of a pharmacist. Why don't they do that with caffeine? Why don't they do that with cigarettes?
Starting point is 00:11:31 At a press conference in Vancouver Wednesday, VC government officials said they're taking action because of the trend of young people using products like... Biggest dork in British Columbia. What's he going to say? I don't even know. I haven't even watched it. This recreationally. Wherever possible, we want to prevent kids... Oh, that's gorgeous little pin you got there.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I know it's probably for a good reason. My God, dude, do you have to be such a geek? Wherever possible, we want to prevent kids from coming into contact with nicotine. They banned cigarettes. Put cigarettes out of pharmacy then. Idiot. What about adults? What about me? I'm an adult. Okay, I want it. I don't care about the children. I want it.
Starting point is 00:12:17 And we certainly want to avoid products that experts are concerned have been designed in order to appeal to children. Experts like Adrian Dix's. He's an expert, guys. Shut down British Columbia. Expert. To hook them early and set them on a lifetime of nicotine dependence. But Imperial Tobacco Canada, the distributor of Zonic, tells City News, it's being singled out because they're a tobacco company, and it's skeptical the new rules, effective Wednesday, will actually stop young people from abusing products intended to help people quit smoking. When you say, I'm going to protect kids, and I'm going to ban these products, nobody's going to argue with that. But at the end of the... I just did. I don't care. I don't care. Get rid of alcohol. Get rid of cigarettes. Today, does this really have an impact? And we don't believe it does.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Of course it doesn't. For us to, for this product to be sold behind the counter in pharmacies, we don't have a problem. In other provinces, where we're in pharmacies, we're already telling pharmacists to put it behind the counter. Ganyon adds that if governments want to stop the problem, they should go after illegal resellers first. Colette Lee's, a substance use liaison with Surrey School District, couldn't say how widespread the use of Zonic is in her school district, but says it's a newer trend, and she's hopeful for the success of the new restrictions. It's something that is slowly being introduced, and I think, That's why the announcement today was really important.
Starting point is 00:13:43 It's hitting at a really key time before that it's something that is become more widespread. So I think hopefully it's going to kind of stop it in its tracks before it's something that takes off like unfortunately vaping did. Back to smoking. In Vancouver, Kierjunos, City News. I don't know. Just amazing to me. It just pisses me off. Pisses me off.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Put them in the pharmacy. I know you guys don't care about this. But put them in the pharmacy. And then take them out of the gas stations. Doesn't that make more sense? So I spent, I spent an hour and a half online trying to see if I could get them ordered to Canada. I found one place in Vancouver. And I don't even know if it's legit to tell you the truth.
Starting point is 00:14:34 But I spent a hundred bucks. It's supposed to arrive tonight. Like right now at 603. The dog just went crazy. I thought maybe, and I got up out of my seat. maybe my package game. Yeah. Let's take a call.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Hey, Clint. City cop Jason here. Hey, Big Daddy. I'm glad to see you're back on the air, and I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Yeah, whatever. I went through something similar, so I can feel your pain and frustration and everything you were going through that day. I totally get it when you'd mentioned getting pissed off.
Starting point is 00:15:06 It's the wood or whatever at the store. I did. I look forward to the day that I can talk to you and tell you my whole story. story. I bet you go. All the crap that I've went through in my career. Let me tell you the latest thing. See what you think.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I went off in 2020 with PTSD after a 20, at that point, 24-year, 25-year career. It's a long time. And a few months after I went off with the PTSD, I lost my badge and a move. I'd misplaced again to get me junk or something like that demolished. But anyway, I reported it right away. I had a whole bunch of problems with my employer who... I got a badge for you. Just go to the golden badge.com.
Starting point is 00:15:52 It was challenging pieces of my PTSD claim. I guess they do that to limit their liability. Anyway, reported my badge missing in mid-2021, and they never replaced it. We're now in 2024, and I've asked for it back, and the chief is refusing it until a return operator, yet oddly enough and he says because I haven't re-qualified or anything like that
Starting point is 00:16:22 fuck off what she's just weird yeah idiot what's his name paternity any other type of long term leave have ever had their their badges taken so it's just kind of weird because it's still a cop the police act says I have still a cop but they won't give they're gonna punish you right
Starting point is 00:16:42 you're not back at work We need to fill your body. To have it. We don't care that you're still sick or suffering. Get back. And then I'll give you a badge. Even though you earned it. I'm still a cop.
Starting point is 00:17:06 The police act says I have to have it. And our department policy says I have to have it. So I'm grieving it. But maybe it's something I need to just let go because I am looking toward probably medical retirement in the next of the while. Just curious your thoughts on that. With my PTSD, I do get hyper-focused and pissed off and angry and all that bad stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I don't know. Maybe it just doesn't feel right to me, and it seems like it's against the law. Maybe it's a policy for me to do that. But value your opinion. Thanks, buddy. Bye. You're hyper-focused. Man, I didn't get to tell you something right now.
Starting point is 00:17:47 The moment, like you're, You're not working right now, right? You're at home the moment you let go. And I'm not telling you to do that. But when you do, that's a day you start getting better. Because you're held down right now. They're still suffocating you mentally. It's hard for people that are new cops to understand what I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:18:23 because not everybody goes through what Jason goes through. It doesn't happen to everybody. but I know exactly the spot you're in. You're still tied down and the moment you retire, you're free. And then a few years after that, if you're, yeah, a few years, you start becoming the old Jason again, the guy that used to be Jason before he joined the police department. I think it's brutal what happened to.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Of course it's brutal. It's gross. They're not even trying, right? Do they call you up? Do they say, hey, I would like to go for coffee with you? Can I take you out for coffee? Do the boss ever do that? Colleagues?
Starting point is 00:19:19 No, they don't. Do they ever phone you up and say, how you doing? Maybe, uh, what can I do to get you back in here? There's no focus on, on them trying to make you better. You're just a spot. You're just the number that. They want to fill, and they're upset. They're pissed off that you're sitting at home.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Thanks for your call, and thanks for the nice words. Hey, Clinton, Johns, how are you doing, my man? Hey, I got some good news there. I went to Deppo in July. I passed everything. Everything well, well, got posted, and I've just been on the road here for about a month now. I just want to let you know the good news. And I think I want to thank you for all your help in the past,
Starting point is 00:20:12 and the videos really helped. But yeah, things are going well. Policing is fast and furious, learning tons. And I'm just excited. I'll be in touch and talk a little bit more about Deppo and how my time outside of Deppo has been. I'm there. We're going to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Take care. Good job, man. Pradia. One month in, don't become a dick. Use some common sense. Well, that's the advice you're going to give them. What do you mean? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:56 This don't become a cop. That's not what I mean. Like, don't be caught-minded. I'm very disappointed in the police, guys. Like, being out of it. And watching them and seeing them. And seeing them, uh, they went to a couple of things. I interacted with them.
Starting point is 00:21:16 And I was just like, what do you? Man, if I was your boss. Oh my God. I'd fucking lose my mind on you. Use your common sense when you're going to a call, you know? It's a... I've told this story so many times. When I got out of depot, I was like,
Starting point is 00:21:47 what are my powers of arrest? Like I'd be going to a call, right? I'd be like, what do I do, do I arrest? Do I have that powers to arrest? I'm going to a call, a kid on a motorbike. And I'm like, what do I got here? I got no insurance. I can arrest for that.
Starting point is 00:22:03 It's under the motorbike. vehicle act. What am I going to do? And I'm going fast. I'm going fast to the skull. And then I'm like, what are you doing? What do you do? You used to be on the motorback. Driving up and down the street. Who fucking cares? It's just a kid. All of a sudden, and that's when I realized, oh, I relate growing up and being a kid into teenage, into adulthood, I can take that experience and combine it with my depot experience. And what do you have? You have a rational person. There's not a whole lot of cops that do that. I didn't see that. I've seen some hardcore straight. I hung out with a guy. He just went to, he went to,
Starting point is 00:23:01 like, he went to a small town and he's a new cop and he's going to the coffee shop. well these old guys one guy parked his scooter on the sidewalk wrote him a ticket piece of scooter was on a sidewalk how do you think he ended up in that small town something this guy did then his entire life
Starting point is 00:23:24 and instead of the cop saying can you just move your scooter he writes him a ticket a violation ticket gives him a fine didn't have to write him a ticket didn't even have to say anything that's a mentality I don't like so don't turn into
Starting point is 00:23:46 a dumb dick I remember and maybe I learned some of this from my train or Gail Walker I remember going I remember I was in Duncan I only was with her for three weeks but I remember
Starting point is 00:24:03 we're going down Maple Bay Road and there's a car that's turning on to Canada that highway it's a highway called Highway 1 I don't know this car in front of us it's a kid he goes straight through the red light
Starting point is 00:24:19 hars hangs a left onto the highway TCH and I'm like oh my god Gail puts on her lights and sirens she pulls the guy over and I'm like this guy's done and Gail comes back to the car and goes Yeah he's pretty shucking up I didn't give him a ticket You know and I just couldn't give him a ticket
Starting point is 00:24:40 Okay maybe you probably should have given him a ticket But the point is she didn't Sometimes you don't have to my aunt, my aunt Kathy she got pulled over in Port Al Burnie from a highway patrol guy out Sprout Lake hasn't had a ticket, I don't know, in a thousand years she didn't have her wallet with her
Starting point is 00:25:04 and she always, and she didn't have her jacket and she always kept her driver's license in her jacket. He gave her a ticket for no deal. Wow, you're really, you're really doing something out there at highway patrol. Good job. Good job! What's the point of that? What is the point of that? There's no point.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Can you guys call me and tell me what kind of vehicles you guys are driving? Because I see these little vehicles driving around Port-O-Burney. And it's goddamn embarrassing. I don't even know what kind of vehicles they are. They look like bugs. And who came up at the idea that we're going to get rid of the Crown Vic? We're going to get rid of like a cool-looking cop car or a top. What's with the little tiny bug cars?
Starting point is 00:26:01 That's embarrassed. And I shouldn't say this. but I feel like the decision came from Ottawa and it was from the other... Lucky. Lucky's little board, she made 60% the board women. And I feel like they all sat around the table and went, I think cops should be driving bugs now.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Embarrassing. It's embarrassing what you guys are driving. It's not a cop car. It's not a cop car. You look at the city police, they got cop cars. Not these embarrassing things. Just thought I'd tell you that. Yeah, I've been drinking beer, okay?
Starting point is 00:26:51 It's Friday night. And I'm back on cocaine for a bit. I'm going to get manned tits. I know it. Again, good job making it. Hey, Clinton, I just called you. Can you just delete that last message? Hey, I just want to let you know.
Starting point is 00:27:12 No. I don't know. So I went to Deppo in July, passed everything. Now, I'm finally posted. I've been basically on the road for about a month now. Things are going well. I just want to thank you for all your help throughout the whole process. you know, just Deppo, all your videos really, really help.
Starting point is 00:27:29 And a lot of people at Deppo are listening to your stuff. It just saw some, you know, there's a former police officer giving us the idea, you know, giving us some good strategies and some good mentorship, how to become good cops. Depple is a little bit different than what the real life is like on the road. Yeah, what was that saying again? I forget the same. It's a Deppo way? The RCMP way?
Starting point is 00:27:59 Or the right way? But, yeah, thanks for everything. Keep up the good work. Take care and sorry about your dad. I know you guys were really good friends. I've listened to a lot of your videos. You guys always talk during your time of depot. But, yeah, sorry about your dad.
Starting point is 00:28:18 But, hey, guys, keep your head up, man. And then hopefully the policing world goes well for me for next couple years at least anyways. A couple years at least. It will. You know what? I'm going to tell you something right now. You're going to hate the first year and a half.
Starting point is 00:28:37 You're going to hate it. You're not going to know anything. I didn't know anything. I remember going to my watch commander, and she was a bag of dicks, but I went to her, and I, because I looked at Darren Legg, and I looked at all these guys that had three, four years.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And they knew everything. And I'm like, I said to her, I said, how do I get to that? That's impossible. That's nearly impossible. But I got to it quickly. I would say it took me. Yeah, it took me three years to finally know what I'm doing.
Starting point is 00:29:14 And when you take the most files on the watch like I did, never got credit for it, by the way. But when you're taking, when there's only five, four, or three people on the watch and you're getting 45 to 49 files a shift, you learn pretty quick I don't know I look back got so much time looking back some things I did wrong but I know that
Starting point is 00:29:42 for the first part man my way was the right way I made so many good decisions and I look at other people and I remember this stupid ass in mission either his first name was Todd or his last name was Todd
Starting point is 00:30:14 who's on the other watch I shouldn't tell this story but he went I'm a watch commander he once told me to stop smoking in the vehicle what stopped smoking on the watch commander's vehicle first of all I wasn't
Starting point is 00:30:32 actually wasn't but one of his partners seen that I I had to pull up the video and show him that I put out the cigarette before I went into the vehicle so stupid don't smoke in the vehicle fuck you
Starting point is 00:30:46 fuck you and that's that's not that's not the part I had a problem with. He was on B-watch. And we'd show up. We'd show up to shift. There'd be eight files, sometimes 10, sometimes six,
Starting point is 00:31:11 even three is too many. They'd be in the queue for us to start our shift at five, six, and seven o'clock. We'd be working on the files. So you know what we would do. We would think in our head, why didn't they get to these files? So then you start infest,
Starting point is 00:31:28 as a watch commander, I need to know the answer. Because my guys are pissed off. I'm not happy. A sex assault comes in at 2 o'clock and you hold it for night shift? Okay, fine. You can't get to it? But you know what I'm going to do with that, right? We're going to take the initial report and we're going to give it back to you because that's the proper thing to do. I do this.
Starting point is 00:31:53 The staff sergeant the next day because Todd complains to the staff sergeant. reams me out. He was completely wrong. The staff sergeant was completely wrong in what he did. And he stuck up for the constable. I don't even know why I'm telling you this. It's just something that popped in my head. There's a correct way to run a watch.
Starting point is 00:32:18 And that was the correct way. I hated it when another watch commander, and they loved doing this, they'd put on the pass on a watch. report, these are off-shift, please print our guy. If you're a watch commander that asks another watch to print your guy, you're a fucking asshole. Unless this guy was just completely fucking out of it that you couldn't print him. But that's hardly the case. I had a guy in Port Elberney, constable. He wants to hold a guy for a domestic. Clint, I'm
Starting point is 00:32:56 holding them. I said, let's not. Let's not. Don't hold a guy just for the point of holding this guy's going to be released. If he goes to court tomorrow, he's going to be released. Oh, I'm too scared to it. It's going to come back on me. No, it won't. It'll come back on me, if anything. You're fine.
Starting point is 00:33:18 You're protected, okay? You've done your job. You don't hold somebody just for the sake of holding them. They're going to release him, which they did, of course. So he's arguing with me. And I said, you know what? Fuck it. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Hold the guy. ridiculous. I'm going to look like an idiot, but go ahead. I don't feel like having the fight with you tonight. It's 5.30. We're getting ready to leave. I'm outside smoking a cigarette.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And he comes outside. He goes, hey, Clint, would you be able to put on the pass on report for the other watch to fingerprint my SOC? And I'm like, I wasn't trying to punish him. It's just the code that I go by. I said, no.
Starting point is 00:34:02 You can wake him up and you could, he's your guy. Don't leave the shit for another watch. You fingerprint him. Clint, the other watch, they do it to us all the time. And I said, that's not how I, that's not how I do shit. I don't give a fuck what other watches do. That's not how I run my watch. We're not leaving shit for another watch.
Starting point is 00:34:22 You fingerprint him. We had words. He said some shit. I won't repeat it. It wasn't good. I don't know. I just think some of these members are just fucking losing their fucking mind. when I think about it now.
Starting point is 00:34:39 It wasn't like that when we first started out. But it's like that now. They got some kind of... Not all of them. Of course, not all of them. A small minority of them, but some of them are real fucking assholes.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Why did I tell you all that? I don't even remember. I don't even remember why I told you that. It's the right way. It's R-C-N-P way. Learn your way. This is how I learned. I learned from watching a bad watch commander.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Then I said to myself, I learned so much from her. Because I said to myself, I'm never going to do what she does. I'm going to do the exact opposite. No, I probably shouldn't have told that story. I probably already told it. You probably already know about it. Let's think back that a constable would be upset with me. As I said, fingerprint your guy.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Like never back in the day. Would I talk to my corporal that way? Fucking loser. Hey, Clint, it's Chris from Halifax, Nova Scotia here, Colin. Hello, Chris. Just wanted to send you a message and say that I'm glad that you're back on YouTube and doing the podcast. I'm back, baby. Upset that they stopped there, but, you know, I understand now that the passing of your father,
Starting point is 00:36:10 I'm sorry to hear about that, but I'm glad that you took the time and, you know, fucked off in the world, as I think you'd say. You know, while you've been gone, I advanced to the last stage of the RC&P application. I think it's the field investigation. So I'm just waiting that and hopefully to get out of Halifax by April. I'm hoping to finish up my university degree. No, it's no question. I just wanted to let you know that I'm proud that you're back and that you took time for yourself.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Also, congratulations on quitting. That's a big feature. My parents were big smokers. So I know how much it takes to quit a cold turkey. And I know that a lot of people around you, especially your family, are proud of you as much as I am. Keep up the good work. And hopefully I'll give you a call here within the next month or two
Starting point is 00:37:06 and tell you that I got my offer. Thanks, ma'am. Appreciate it. That guy is way too nice. Thanks for your call, man. Appreciate it. 604-330-25-12. Hey, Clinton.
Starting point is 00:37:19 It's Rob Queen. I haven't spoken to you since Robbins. When I was over there from Puerto Verde, I think it was in October. Yeah, you talked. Yeah, I just thought that you've been posting and I just wanted to say,
Starting point is 00:37:32 I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Thanks, dude. I assume that's obviously why you were quiet, but yeah, I'm really sorry that what happened. But I thought I'd just reach out since it's been quite some time and in the new year now,
Starting point is 00:37:47 so I thought I'd say hi and yeah if you ever want to reach out chat love to talk to you and here's the thing with me right now like I got people messaging me and I just find it like at work right now I don't know why I don't know why
Starting point is 00:38:03 and I know it appears to be rude but I just don't feel like talking I was thinking if you ever need I shouldn't have said that I have my moments where I like to talk I don't know if that's true Any other people on your show or someone to banter with, whatever, I wouldn't mind hanging out.
Starting point is 00:38:32 So I'd even probably come over to your neck of the woods. Not that, it gets too far away. So, yeah, I just thought, yeah, I'd reach out and say hi. And I hope to hear from you in the near future, 778-241. That's my number. I think you had my wife's number, which the last part was 4-2-8. Of course I have your wife's number. I don't know why I have your wife's number.
Starting point is 00:38:58 It's for my wife, but yeah, I'm 4227. I'd rather call that number. Take care. And I hope to chat with you soon. All right, take care. Bye now. Thanks, Rob. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:39:08 Yeah, you come on the show. Where are you going to stay, though, if you come Port-au-Burney? You're not sleeping with me. I was going to say something. I can't say it, though. Oh, wow. Look at me. Like, I'm censoring myself.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Why is that? Hey, Clint, new listener, but for the past three or four months, I've really enjoyed watching your content on YouTube. I'm going through the RCMP process right now. Don't. I am just finishing my security clearance form sending those away. And I just had a question about going to depot and even serving the RCMP. I'm from California. I've been living in Alberta for maybe six.
Starting point is 00:40:04 seven or eight years now. And I was just curious about the interaction or the relationship between those going into depot from originally out of the country, specifically the states. I got my PR, of course, so I'm here. But PR. When I was in Depot, I never met anybody from the States. This is, I feel like this is a new thing. You see, you have to be, you know, I don't even, no, I didn't meet anybody from the States in Depot or well I met people from other countries didn't I that came to you don't even pay attention to it so I'm here but I was just wondering what that interaction is like if you've seen it often or you know if there's a big difference I had a misconception that it would take a lot longer for me to go
Starting point is 00:40:56 through the process in from California I would have but I talked to earlier officers who were currently serving and they said with the states in Canada we're kind of neighbors so they share information pretty quickly so I didn't have to worry about it. Right. What are they doing? Too long. But yeah, I was just curious what you thought about experiences and interactions with those coming from the States as a
Starting point is 00:41:17 PR and serving either going to camp at Depot or in the forest. So appreciate your stuff. Love what you do. God bless. Thanks for the call. I like it. My security, my field investigation took forever. That was in Canada.
Starting point is 00:41:35 if I had lived and worked over in California, it would have took even longer. Maybe that's not the case anymore. They just pick up the phone now. They used to sit down with these people. But no, if I ever met somebody in Depot, nobody's even thinking about it. Your interaction will be good.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I would have loved it. If I met somebody in Depot that was from America, I love America. I love Americans. And I love talking to them. When I go to Mexico, I want to meet, I'm going to, I want to, when I get excited when somebody says, oh, we're from America. I want to have a conversation with them about America. It'll all be good.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Thanks for your call. I don't even know why you're thinking that way. Is that what Americans think? Should I stop it there? I think I'm going to stop it there, guys. The woman's upstairs upset. Because I'm down here. What else to say?
Starting point is 00:42:38 Nothing else to say. I got to clean up the box of ashes that are down by the fireplace. are still there. And I probably shouldn't have said that. Probably shouldn't have said that, but... I didn't think Colson was going to think I was partly serious. He ran up to Mum to confirm it. Yeah, maybe it was a bad joke.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Thanks for watching, guys. Thanks for all the nice phone calls. Bye, bye.
