Clinton Jaws, guys. Stop it. Stop it. Do you know the... No. Clinton Jaws. You guys watch podcasts and... This is my pepave.

When I'm watching a podcast, and the cover of their mic is filled with gunk and hair and lint. Can't stand it. Podcast people. Clean your mic, man. Clean your mic. Maybe that should be the title of my podcast. Casp. clean your mic. I know I'm off to a rough start. The problem here with me and doing these

longer ones, these episodes, I call them episodes. I don't know what to title them. What is the title? I don't know. How do you come up with a title? I've just me rambling. Just me rambling? I guess that's a title. It's not a bad title. I just write that one down. I married a woman. Okay. I know you guys already know that and I've already talked about this, but it happened again. but I married a woman and she lives, we live in the same house. Our children live there too. And, you know, I want to ask you a question. Does your wife give you a minute?

My wife gives me a minute. And I am grateful that she gives me this minute. Three days ago, okay? Three days ago, I'm standing in the kitchen. The wife is sitting on the couch eating some type of berry. I don't know. And I'm getting a little frustrated because I can't. find what I'm looking for. So I say to her, woman, do you know where the batteries are? I'll give you a

minute. So naturally I wait for that minute to expire and I say again, where are the batteries? Second drawer, God. I'm grateful that she doesn't give me five minutes and she knew all along where the batteries were, but she wanted me to take an extra minute to keep on looking. And I realized, you know what I realized? I learned something from this. I don't have to wait for my wife to give me a minute. I could give myself my own minute. Every single day, I swear to God, the wife loses her phone under the pillow on the couch.

Clint. Will you call my phone? Clint! Call my phone! Give me a minute. Now I encourage you guys to use that if you're looking to start a fight with your wife. Okay. Stupid.

That's so true. No, no, no. No, you love giving me minutes. Give myself my own minute. But if you're going to do that, you can't budge from character, okay? Say to her. In 59 seconds, ask me again. Okay?

Yeah, try that. Try that. What are you doing? I'm taking a minute, okay? Oh, I need a cigar. I want to talk. I want to tell you guys something. I know you already know about, I know you already know this,

but I want to tell you something that I learned. Something that I didn't know any idea about. And I find it pretty amazing. There's maybe the odd person that doesn't know about this. And it's not boring, okay? When you hear the word stalks, I don't want you to be bored immediately and turn this off. By the way, subscribe to my channel.

I don't care if you go to Clintonjaws.com or the golden badge.com. what I care about is you subscribing and when you subscribe hit the notification bell so you know when my episodes pop up that's all I care about subscribers but it was three it was a bunch of months ago I think it was in November I'm watching my kid play hockey and my uncle is there he's watching his grandson shaking like a leaf guys I've I've drank nothing but coffee today and he's telling me because I play the stock market right and he's telling me that I don't know what I should say. Maybe I should.

He buys stocks that give a dividend. Do you know what that dividend is? I didn't know. But these stocks every three months, if you buy a certain stock, they will pay you money. Okay, you buy the stock. Then all of a sudden you get some money.

And I bought OVV, and I noticed that they were giving me like $150 every three months. And he's telling me that they look forward. to the dividend. They live off the dividend. The dividend pays a retired that pays for their life. And I'm like, 120 bucks. What are you talking about? So I didn't put any thought into what he was saying until this is what happens. Okay. This is amazing. There's a stock out there. Okay, it's called Golden Ocean. It's some kind of shipping stock. I don't know anything about shipping. But I read a couple articles and I'm like, oh, so I bought a thousand shares. It went up. It went up seven bucks. That's doing pretty good.

I could lose all my money tomorrow. But I look on the account, ouch. I look on the account the other day, and I'm like, what? Golden Ocean gave me $1,150. And I'm like, why? Why would they do that?

It's the dividend. I don't even think I'm saying it right. And I'm like, oh my God. After three months of owning it, they just give me that amount. of money. In another three months, I guess I'm going to get it again. I don't even know. Maybe I'm wrong. But then I started thinking, well, imagine if I bought 4,000 shares. That's 16 grand a year, I think. Maybe I'm wrong. Then I thought, what if I bought? You know, that's four grand

every three months. You can live off that if you've paid off your house. Or what if you bought 8,000 shares? Did I already say that? You'd be making like $32,000 a year on this one stock. It just seems like such a no-brainer to me. And I don't know. I was just happy that I learned something. I think I learned it. And I thought I'd pass it on to you, who already knows.

But that's pretty incredible, I think. Yeah, so who cares if the stock goes down a bit? Golden Ocean. I mean, it fluctuates all the time. But they've been around for a while. And, you know, why did I buy a shipping stock? I don't know. I see all these container ships stuck in the harbor.

And I thought, I wonder if you can make some money off of this. Inflation, the price of oil and gas and all that crap going up. The recession, depression, whatever you want to call it is about to happen. Wanted to make this podcast kind of light. If you notice that, sometimes I get really excited. And, you know, there's been a few comments. Like, yeah, you're clean. You all right.

I can really see the frustration in you. And no, I'm fine. I get excited. I like getting excited on these things. Sometimes I like to cool it down. I wasn't going to talk about this. So let's just make it light. I'm watching an episode of Joe Rogan one day.

And it was about trauma and this doctor on it. I'll never find the clip, but I wish I could find it for you. But the doctor was saying, if you experience trauma, greatness can come out of that. You will, you could sometimes, of course, it has a negative effect, but it can also have a positive effect. What this guy was saying just made sense. It's one of the best things I've ever heard on Joe Rogan

because I thought of myself. Bad, the other thing is trauma, just those trauma and life screws people up. Trauma also creates personality in some people. Like some people, trauma shapes their personality, the recovery from trauma builds character, and some of the most interesting people that I know had traumatic upbringings. Yeah, and there's this really interesting idea they talk about is post-traumatic growth. What's weird about life is we can have like when trauma happens,

it can lead to really negative things and really positive things both simultaneously. And some of those negative things would be, you know, PTSD or stressors or, you know, anxiety or whatever, difficult, relaxing, kind of being wound up all the time. But the positive things are the trauma can give you a motivation to grow and go seek new things. But people who are traumatized, you're suffering and you need to seek a way out. And sometimes that, path to growth can lead you to a better place than you would have been if you'd never suffered in the first place. Right.

And that's what's powerful about trauma. It's what's powerful about suffering. What the fuck? Did you hear that? And I think about those 22 people that got killed by Wartman, right? And I was thinking because that's all I do is think, right? I was thinking, oh, trauma? It was traumatic.

Is there anything good going to come out of it? Right. Of course, you know, the R.CMP, they're going to do their big. they probably already did it. I don't even know. There's so much to learn from it, right? I'm sure there's some really good things to learn. But, and this is why I like doing these podcasts.

And I'm really glad that I dove into that case. Because I feel like me personally that I learn something from it. And I hope the RCMP think outside of the box and start asking them, themselves. Why are members not carbine trained? Why do we allow members to fail the carbine training? I mean, that is a really solid issue that, I don't know, the union needs to look at. Because I've been thinking long and hard about this and it just, okay, sure, it might not have helped Heidi having the carbine. Fair enough.

But it just seems like an injustice. It seems like really odd that you have a machine gun. She has to walk past the machine gun. Can't take it. She didn't pass the course. Don't allow her to fail then. Could you imagine? Okay, let's imagine.

Let's imagine. I'm a watch commander in Port Elberney. There's a killer in Coombs. He's heading his way to Port Albarnie. He's killed 15 people so far. I got five members in the office. Okay, guys, let's go find him. I don't know.

Do I say to, you know, Kimmy? Hey, you dumb cunt, you failed the course, so you're not allowed to take the carbine, okay? You take your pellet gun instead and pray that he doesn't locate you. You know what I mean? And if I'm a member, I think I'm just going to take the carbine

if I'm not carbine train. I know to put a meg in it and turn the safety off. Heidi knew how to do that. I've taken the taser when I wasn't taser trained to cause. I'm taking the machine gun. If there's a killer, if there's a killer, let loose in Porto Oberne. Or I say to Kimmy, you're not carbine trained. Go with John, who's carbine trained.

You guys go in the same vehicle. Two people in a vehicle. And isn't that how they found them? Two people in a vehicle, right? a gas station. Maybe it would have been different. It was only one person. I don't know. Like, I don't know. I don't know. I have troubles making my point, but it just seems so wrong to me. I mean, I don't. It's just the gun, guys. You know what I mean? It's just the gun. Ooh, you didn't qualify. Well, you made a little mistake. She knew how to use it.

And don't we keep on talking about it? 2005, right? Marathorpe. If those guys would have been armed with carbines, those cops, those young kids, maybe a different outcome. Moncton, 2013. Different outcome, right? And now what do we got?

Oh, yeah. Shouldn't have access to the carbine, okay? Against rules to take the carbine. Make the course longer. This is so ridiculous. Do you see this surge here? You see those rifles? I don't know if you guys could see them.

I got my cross rifles at Depple. This is how dumb it is. The rifle. It was two days. The rifle was a two-day course. My firearm was, I don't know, 22 weeks. But the rifle, if you got a good score on your rifle exam, which is the second day, you got to put a cross pistol or a cross rifle on your surge.

We learn about the rifle. We practice it. and then we take a test and now we're qualified to use the rifle. So if there's a rifle in the detachment, I'm allowed to take it. I never once took a rifle. Most members who were qualified on the rifle never took it. What's my point? Why would I be allowed to use the rifle when I barely remember how to use it?

Why was I allowed to qualify and never have to. to qualify again on the rifle but i was still allowed to use it i think about i think about the line of fire like every year as a member you they changed the course of fire for your firearm okay because everybody was failing it they made it easier a hell of a lot easier you wouldn't believe the members that i would watch qualify try to qualify they thought they were mel gibson from lethal weapon everything totally screwed up couldn't qualify didn't matter

but it's still of course if you don't qualify of course you still get to take your gun to work and use your gun and go out on the road with your gun they didn't qualify

so yeah they made the course of fire easier they'll tell you that's not the reason we did it sure it wasn't practical okay maybe it wasn't I don't know. If one good thing can come out of this,

you can never, you have no right to tell a cop to leave the best thing in the force behind as you go to look for a killer. You don't get to take that. You shot the floor during qualifications. You didn't pass that one test.

You failed it. And can I just bring up a couple of comments here that people have been leaving on the video. I did a video about this. I don't know. There was actually quite a few people that agreed with me because I said it was silly. I just made mention that it's silly

that you can't grab the carbine that people are actually failing the carbine course. Do you think cops... No, it's hard to manipulate. Like, what are you talking? Dude. It's hard to stick a magazine inside a gun

and turn off the safety? Come on. We're already qualified on our gun. Who cares what other gun is introduced? Every member has a right to the carbine. So you make it a right. I don't want them backing me up. I shut up.

Fuck. So stupid. Yeah, you do. Believe me. They can't shoot with their 9-mill. You want them to have the machine gun. Anyways, there's one guy here. His name's Tyson. I just want to read what he wrote.

He's been a longtime follower. Big time disagreeer. That's fine. Disagre with me. I like it. Kind of. You only fail the carbine if you fail the course of fire. Yeah, I know.

That's my point. How stupid is that that you fail the course of fire? Don't allow them to fail the course of fire. Figure it out. Or you have a safety breach that causes it. Sure. Fix it. Fix that safety breach.

Go over it a hundred times more if you have to. She fought hard and the killer got her weapon. We can live in the what ifs all day long. Well, that's what I do, Tyson. That's what I do here. and it's the what if that gave me the idea, which I think is a pretty good idea, that you don't fail the carbine course, that you're allowed to have the carbine, not because of a mark, that you're right.

If we didn't do the what ifs, we wouldn't have the carbine. I know what ifs are really annoying when you're in depot, when the guy sits there and goes, what if this, what if that. But sometimes it's a pretty damn good question. piece that answers it for you if you ask the question and that's how we think about things damn what if he was with morrison they were together in the same car what if she had her carbine piece i'm telling you right now if that killer's coming towards me i'm in my car with that carbine strapped around my shoulders while I'm driving.

And if there were members that weren't carbine trained, they sit in the office. No, you don't get to look for the killer, okay? Maybe, maybe. Maybe. I'm just kind of throwing things out there right now, just thinking about what I would do. What if?

We can live in the what ifs all day long, but it's best he didn't get her carbine. Well, no, no, aren't you doing a what if right now? What if he would have got her car? carbine? You're kind of doing it too, right? You just did it what if it did. And agree, that would have been terrible if he would have got her carbine, of course. Not machine gun. He's mad at me for calling it a machine gun. Actually, I'll, okay. We can live in the what ifs all day, but it's best he didn't get a C8. I'm sorry, Tyson, I'm making fun of you. Semi-auto. Not machine gun. He's going to hate me

for that, isn't they? Maybe it would have made a difference. Oh, you know, you're doing, you're doing the what if. Maybe it wouldn't have. Yeah, I know. We just don't know. Yeah, I know. But God bless her for the fight she put up. Good for you, Tyson. You're exactly right. I agree with that. And I call it a machine gun just because I can. And when I took that baby in my hand at Chilliwack when I did the course, and I got to fire it as much as I wanted to. Oh man. Talk about a machine gun. That's what it felt like.

I felt like a machine, like I finally got a machine gun in my hands. And nobody deserved to take that away from me. And I look back, course was crammed into five days. I think it was five days. It was grueling. You can never put down.

the machine gun. It always had to kill my back. Maybe we need to tweak the course. Okay. We made our regular, you know, Smith and Wesson course. Qualifications a lot easier. Anyways, I hope something good comes from it.

Something good comes from the patent when Patton was ran over by those guys when he pulled over that vehicle. I don't know what possibly can help any, any family members. member. It just can't. Nothing good will come from. There's no helping a grieving family. I mean, Heidi had two kids and a husband. There's no help on that. Let's take a call. Okay, let's just take a call. Hey, Clint. My name's Devin. Devin, thanks for calling, dude. And I want to

be a police officer by 25. That's my goal. And I'm really thinking the RCMP is what's for me. Why not? Right now I'm doing work. Well, I can tell you why not. No, no. Hey, everybody needs a career. Experience working security, private security at a

rehab. And a lot of the clients at our rehab facility are RCMP and military guys with PTSD. Good Lord. And so I get a really interesting perspective on, you know, getting the experience.

But I'm thinking, what do you think is the best? Security guard at a rehab. Testing. Security guard at a rehab. Testing. Why do you need a security? I guess you need security at rehab in case they go crazy. And I can see a lot of members being at rehab.

good for you for being a security guard experience for experience perspective on you know getting with PTSD and so I get a really interesting perspective on you know getting the experience but I'm thinking what do you think is the best experience for me continue working private security at the at the rehab or or get a peace officer position like a bylaw officer or animal control, something like an easy peace officer position to get... You can't go wrong with bylaw. Some more peace officer experience.

I would love your advice. Also, I'd love to hear what you think the best age to become a police officer is. Thanks. Bye. Hey, dude. Hey, man. Thanks, for Colin. I appreciate you, Colin.

I've touched on this already before. Experience, what is experience? You're about to do a job. even after you go through depot after six months of depot, you still don't know how to do the job. I said to my troop mates, I said, guys, we're about to start a job during graduation. And I'm like, we know nothing. Okay, we have no experience. We don't have experience.

You only get experience by doing the job. Everybody's so focused on the experience part of it. And I guess I don't really think, they don't expect. you to have experience. They just want you to pass that interview. How do you pass the interview? Life experience. It's easier to pass it when you're older. Yeah, just, you know what? Just do what, Devin, just do whatever you want to do right now. Okay? It's great, probably great that you got that position. You'll be able to answer some questions in the interview, right? And of course, like, by law. I mean, you, it's definitely, you're definitely, you're not. You're

going to help you in the interview if you're a bylaw officer but you don't need these things to help you in the interview you need life experience and it sounds like you're getting it as a security guard talking with all the other cops right best age best age of become a cop is 50 okay maybe not but why not i think the older you are the better you are and i think you know the you when i was going through they wanted you the best age to be a cop was 27 28 was one of the i think it was 28 and that's 27 27 and that's how old i was but why is why is that the best age because i'm better now than i was when i was 27 i would be a better cop right now if i went to depot when i was 20 years old i would have failed depot because i was the i'm always right kind of guy

Okay. It was like, it was very important for me not to lose an argument. And when you go to Deppo, you've got to lose arguments. But I think the wiser you are, the older you are. Okay, if there was a gun pointing towards my head and they said, what's the best age? I would say probably 35. I don't know. But 40, 45?

Nothing wrong with those ages. I'd be unbelievable right now. I wouldn't sweat the small stuff. I'd laugh at it all. I'd laugh at them. I'd laugh at the bosses more. And I'd be more, you know, I'd already have my family. You don't be unbelievable.

If I already set my life up, right? Let's say I'm an electrician or a plumber and I hit 40. And I'm like, I can already do these types of things. Maybe I'll go try to become a cop for 20 years, 25 years. Why not? I could always fall back on my plumbing and my electrician. My brother-in-law is a firefighter and, man, he does construction. you could build anything.

Doesn't need to be a firefighter. So sometimes it's good to already be set up older, wiser, then bam, you become a cop. But there's one thing that I would be a little bit worried about is I don't have us, you need, you still need courage. And I don't think when you're younger, you have more courage, I believe. When it comes to me, like, I'm more, I am more cautious. Even when I'm driving, I've got two wheels on the hands now.

Two wheels on the hands. Two hands on the wheel. Like I'm too cautious, I think. Because I'm a dad, I'm a parent. And it just kind of messes with you a little bit. So you would need to, yeah, that might be a problem there. When it comes to courage. I don't know.

I don't know what I would be like with that part now. Because when I was a cop, I didn't care if it was a dark alley walking down by myself walking down that alley i didn't i wasn't scared of anything yeah there were a couple of moments that you know scared me but really like three in the morning put me anywhere it was never worried maybe it's because i had a gun maybe that had a lot to do with it if you're 25 and you're going to depot if you're 24 and you're going to depot and you know they need heartbeats dude so bad don't worry so much about experience. I know I shouldn't be saying that.

I feel like I shouldn't be saying that. But you need to take it down a notch when you go to depot. I don't know you. You probably are probably, you sound good. But I told myself, okay, man, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to be shit, shaving and showering with 22 other guys for six months. So you're going to, don't act yourself. I love Clint, okay? I really didn't act myself towards the end, but then it was fun.

Thanks for your call. Guys, call the hotline number 604-3302512. Ask me anything. You can ask me anything. 2512. And subscribe to my dumb channel. Okay, let's call it. I'm going to do another one later on in the week, so hit the notification bell.

Again, there's a lot of people been calling and I want you to call, so I'm going to answer more questions. And I'm going to do some more videos and I gotta come up with a title. Bag of Dix. How about that one? That's what this was. I talked about Heidi again. I don't know.

I just can't get her out of my head, I guess. I guess that's, is that a good thing? Well, I'll never forget her. Okay. Gotta go. I got to call the voice phone. Bye-bye.
