Starting point is 00:00:05 When you stop doing this, when you stop talking, when you stop your podcast like I did for about a week, you lose everything that you had. You become rusty. It's hard to get it back. And I've restarted this. I don't know. I'd say about 50 times because I'm not acting myself, but I'm trying to get to. You can't stop. You can't stop doing it. So anybody that wants to do a podcast, you have to do a podcast every day. Are you going to lose it and you're going to become rusty? Oh my God. That was depressing. I've been watching a lot of doom and gloom lately.
Starting point is 00:00:43 And so I've been kind of like resting the mind about it. I did that thing on Halifax. So you put, I put my feet into the shoes of those cops. And it depresses your mind. You feel what they feel. The least I do. And I've been watching the Chauvin case and the George Floyd case. And I mean, that's not happy times.
Starting point is 00:01:07 So somebody called my hotline number the other day, and I like it when you guys call, okay? I love it when you call. It spices up my YouTube channel. It makes me talk about something that I'm not normally going to talk about. And this is a big deal. I don't know if I should name this an episode or not, episode 72, but a girl called, and that got me excited. A female called my hotline number. And this never happened before.
Starting point is 00:01:35 First of its kind. girls are starting to watch what I do and they never did before so thank you girls thank you ladies for watching and this is a good call she asks a great question and I want you to hear it so I'll play it my name's Tia I'm a bachelor's science of nursing student from Edmonton alberta Tia hi Tia thanks for calling she's a nurse Tia the nurse and I mean it already sounds great doesn't it I mean, let's be honest. My boyfriend and longtime partner is currently at Depo right now. Just wondering when he gets out, which will be in the fall,
Starting point is 00:02:23 it'll be the first time I've seen him in six months. I don't know if I should say anything about this, but I don't know why that is. Maybe it's a good thing. You guys are going to be really excited to see each other, but maybe you can't go down there and visit him because of the COVID. It was running around town. But I remember being a depot, and I met a girl a week before I went to depot.
Starting point is 00:02:44 And the only thing I ever looked forward to was when she flew down and seen me. And that was the, that's what got me through. Deppel. She came down. She came down. We got a hotel at quality in. We got the jacuzzi suite. I splurged.
Starting point is 00:03:00 An extra 10 bucks a night. And she watched me do my high browns. She watched me put 20 coats on my high browns and it was probably one of the best weekends I've ever had. Not for her. But for me, it was great. And it was the first time we smashed. And I can't say that because my parents are going to watch this. But it really was.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And in between coats. And the high browns take 20 coats. Let's keep on going. He's hoping, you know, just with your relationship with your wife, she was in our, what are the best ways you guys were able to support each other through shift work and everything going on with your, careers. Okay, first of all, why didn't I prepare for this? I'm glad I'm not prepared. The great thing, I don't know if it's a great thing, but when I retired, she was starting to become a nurse.
Starting point is 00:03:55 So we didn't really have that problem. She wasn't, when she started her shift work, you know, the truth is when she was a student, that was tough on us. How do we support each other? It wasn't good. I'll be honest with you, it wasn't good. I don't know if we really did support each other. I don't think I ever was a police officer when she was a nurse. I retired in 2019 and she hasn't even been a nurse for three years. Sorry. Yeah, thank you so much. Hope you have the great rest of your day.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Bye. She even, who's the guy? Who's the cadet that's at RC&P training right now that has that? It makes me jealous. So she calls back. She calls back a second time. Clint's so sorry. And she's so sorry.
Starting point is 00:04:45 about what? Yeah, again, I completely forgot to, like, giving my numbers. She forgot to give me her number. She could, like, get some actual feedback. She wants actual feedback. Okay, so I'm going to edit this part out. Then, nine, eight, three. My boyfriend and I have watched your clips for forever since you started a lot back,
Starting point is 00:05:06 but you're funny, funny as fuck. So, yeah, and I love your authenticity. So, yeah, any sort of ability to give me some insight as to how, You can be a better support for your partner who is a Mounny or a member, as you guys put it. Yeah. Any advice to be appreciated? Okay, have a good one. Bye.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Jealous. Jealous, this cadet has, and I'm telling you right now to the cadet, I know you're watching, you have to be watching this. Don't ever cheat on that one. And Tia, the nurse, has a potty mouth, doesn't she? Yeah. How great is that? This sounds like, I feel like I'm being a sicko. but I'm just, I'm being honest.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Her name is Tia. She's a nurse, has a potty mouth. There's nothing, those three things. Nothing beats it. Funny as fuck. Fuck, fuck. You hear us she says fuck? Like, it's not just fuck.
Starting point is 00:06:03 It's fuck. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Fuck. Yeah. I shouldn't have done that. That's funny. I like it.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I'll answer your question. As a nurse, you're going to face death. You're going to see a lot of death. I think he are. I know my wife does. As a cop, hundreds of deaths. Both of you. Death city. I never shared that stuff with my woman. So that's how you can support each other. You're going to have a lot of common. You're in the same field. The same death field. And sometimes I wish my wife bottle that bottled it up and didn't tell me about the deaths at the care home. And then sometimes I wish that I would have talked to my wife a lot more when I was a cop.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I'll be honest. Her stories really bore me. They, uh, that sounds so bad. But they were, I don't want to hear about Bonnie, okay. And my wife will come home and tell me all about Bonnie.
Starting point is 00:07:14 And all about Bonnie's life and her grandchildren, Bonnie's grandchildren. be as Bonnie died today and I'll be like oh that's terrible I don't know why I'm telling you this and I'll be like how'd Bonnie in her sleep
Starting point is 00:07:37 Bonnie died her sleep like that's a bad day you want to hear a Harold died and I guess that's how I did it I would never tell her about how Harold died Harold was filling up a tire a logging truck tire
Starting point is 00:07:56 and the tire blew up and blew up Harold Timmy his son was the first to find him all they found was a neck that's all that's all it remained do you want to hear about that story sometimes it's nice to bottle it up that's the wrong advice no you guys you guys tell each other you guys tell each other about the deaths and you got something to share over dinner is so dumb i shouldn't have said that but it's a good thing i guess it's a good thing that's how you're going to support each other you're going to talk about it
Starting point is 00:08:31 And maybe that eliminates some of the mental illness that's surely going to happen. I'm kidding. It's not going to happen. Another thing, these are the things that you're not going to expect to hear from anybody. Food is a big deal. And you're not going to like what I say. Well, Tia, actually, you're a good shit, I could tell. But other people, other viewers, you asked, cook him at dinner.
Starting point is 00:09:04 He's going to work, shift work. He's going to work two days. nights, most likely. He's going to start at seven, get off at seven, but he's not going to get off at seven. It's going to be eight, nine or ten. And you've got to fuel the engine. The machine, the engine. It's so important food and nutrition. We never did that. I look back and I'm like, why didn't we do that? That was so important. Sleep and food. That's how you support each other. I'd come home. and I'm scared to tell the story because my there's one of
Starting point is 00:09:40 there's one of our friends that watch this podcast and the other day she says to my wife Clint doesn't like your Jeep eh and I never said that to my wife but I said it on the podcast and then my wife is like oh you don't you didn't like that I bought the Jeep
Starting point is 00:09:55 do you know what I mean so I'm scared to say stuff because it gets back to my wife but I'd get off shift 8, 9 10 o'clock at night and I come home I want to eat eating's important and a while the time she'd tell me that my food's in the microwave. Okay, it's not cooking in the microwave. It's been sitting in the microwave since 4.30.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Sometimes there'd be a can of alfaghetti, and I'd have a can of alfagetti in a cocoanee with no ice. That was my dinner. On the special evenings was beans on toast with a can of cocoanut and ice. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit. We rarely had ice, but there was a lot of times where, It was alfaghetti and beans on toast and old potatoes. This is turning into a sad, a sad podcast.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Just cook for each other. Cook for him. And vice versa, of course. You know I mean it the other way around. And if you don't know how to cook to you, order something healthy. Don't order a pizza. You want to support your guy.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Let him go out with the boys. Let him go out with the boys. He's going to work two. day shifts. And on that second day shift, it's going to be a swing night. He doesn't work till the next night. And it's really nice to go out with the guys and let off some steam without you. You don't always have to be there. I know you miss him. But he wants to go out without you. And try not to be upset with that. Try to be supportive with that. That's just something that he needs to do. And every now and then he'll take you. That sounds so terrible.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I'm glad he called though. It spiced up my night. Well, it's for dinner. I don't know. There's some weeners in the fridge. Oh, the good old days. Thank God I'm retired. I think you guys are going to do great.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And when you have kids, I've seen, when you have kids, it can work out. It can work out great as cops. Well, you're not a cop. You know what the great thing about becoming a nurse is? Everywhere you go, everywhere he goes, you follow him, unfortunately. And you can be a nurse wherever you want. I guess this is a vice for you. Because it's something that I know about nursing.
Starting point is 00:12:31 My wife has less than three years. If you become an R&, you could be top dog in any community. You could come to Port Albany. You guys could literally come to Port Albany. Get a cheap home. It's got a canal. It's got a lake. Probably the most beautiful lake in all of Canada.
Starting point is 00:12:48 I shit you not. That unbelievable. You don't want to go uptown. It's not pretty. But there's some nice. spots in Port-Alberney, you guys could have a great life and the nursing jobs. And when I say Port-Al-Burney, I mean a lot of communities around the world. And you don't have to settle for, hey, I think I'm going to work at an old folks home. Not that's a bad thing. It's where my wife
Starting point is 00:13:07 works. I'm going to go to IPU. I'm going to go on the fourth floor. I'm going to work and emerge. You can become director of care like my wife did, which is unbelievable, not even three years experience, and get a massive wage. You guys are so lucky. He's going to get a good wage eventually. You're going to get a great wage, maybe even a, well, maybe even a better, my wife makes way more money than I ever made as a cop, as the RCMP, because we never got raises. I guess my point is, when you become a nurse, you have to think, what can I apply for the jobs that you think you're not going to get, because you're going to get them. That's how dire they are for nursing jobs. Think director,
Starting point is 00:13:54 care if you're into that i don't know maybe you're not thanks for calling 604 3302512 thanks guys bye bye bye
