Hey guys, Clint here again. How you doing today? It's a good day. It's Monday. Did you have a good day yesterday? Was it a good day? Was it a good day yesterday? Sunday. I'm going to tell you, uh, but first, hey, this doesn't work, does it? I am too low. I do not like my setup. My chair is too low. I feel like I'm a little child sitting at a big table. I don't know why I pointed that out. but I don't like it. Anyways, let's not talk about that right now. Yesterday, was it a good day for you guys? Was it a good Sunday? Testing, testing, testing, testing. Turn that up, just a titchy. I'm going to tell you what happened on Sunday.

I woke up on Sunday, way too early, but I woke up happy. Because it was football. Football? Seattle Seahawks were going to play at 10 o'clock, and I was really excited about that. It gave me something to look forward to. I built a fire in the fireplace. Got it already.

Had a pot of coffee. Getting ready for this thing. Really looking forward to it. But I'm like three or four hours away from it. And so I go on the computer and I check the TV listings, like a TV guide. Let's see if there's anything else on TV that I could watch before the game. And I'm like, holy shit. The Masters.

Golfing. The Masters is on. I'm like, this is awesome. Because I remember last year when Tiger Woods played in the Masters and he won and he hadn't won in ages. And when he won, he hugged his son. And it was like a really good heartfelt moment. So I quickly go on my computer to watch the Masters. And I see that Tiger Woods is playing.

And he's not doing. He's doing really good. He's down a couple of shots. and I get excited. I'm like, this is my day. I'm going to watch football while I watch the Masters, and that's what I did. I had football on the TV,

had Masters on the computer, and I watched the Masters for four straight hours while I watch the shit. Sometimes I even, the Masters was so good that I hit mute on the TV because the Seattle Seahawks game was horrific. Shocking and worrisome. It was terrible.

what was that all about? What was that? It's a terrible game. So I'm really into the Masters. And he takes the league. Lead. Woods takes the lead. I'm like, fuck, he might win again. He might win twice in a row. And he gets to the 18th hole, taps it in, he wins the Masters. And he runs up, he runs up again. There's his kid standing there. And he hugs them. They embrace. I felt a little, you know, I got a little moist a little bit. But it was weird.

It was kind of like, does this kid not grow up? He looks the same age as he did last year. No difference whatsoever. And Woods goes up into the path. He's hugging all these people. And he's, yeah, yeah, I won, I won. And he's walking up to the path. He's going up to the clubhouse.

And right on the front of the TV, it goes, your 2019 Masters champion. and I'm like, I was watching a rerun, four straight hours of watching the Masters. I told my wife, she thinks I'm losing my mind. Am I losing my mind? How do you watch four straight hours of a rerun and think it's 2020? I watched it all last year, the whole thing. And I just watched it again.

The Masters doesn't start for another week. Yeah, that was a scary moment. and you know I probably shouldn't have told that story because it's a little freaky right am I even recording can I tell you about my last video that I feel I always feel bad about these videos some of them I feel bad about and I was kind of on the OPP and I feel a little bit bad about that you know what I mean because I'm I don't know I don't know guys some guy wrote a comment. What was the video? What did I? OPP, I'm not proud. If you want to watch it, it's like the last video or something. And John Campbell wrote,

I'm planning on joining the RCMP right on after my post-secondary in forensic psychology. I don't think I could let something like that happen. Sadly, I wouldn't doubt that they were worried admin wouldn't go to bat for them. Thanks for the insight. Love the videos. And I read it and I'm like, Okay, what he's talking about is, John doesn't think that he could let something like that happen. And then I started thinking, oh my God, man, I hope you're not listening to me. Maybe it will happen.

Hey, I'm just giving my opinion. That's all I'm doing. I'm not telling you how to police. I see these videos, and I think, what would you do? Maybe it's right. Maybe it's wrong. It's probably right. So I just say what I would do.

do. Okay? That's all I was doing. I don't know the full story. I just see a video. I see a, a car getting hit 17,000 times with two police officers in there on the radio, talking on the radio while this is going on. And I'm just, the point of the video was do something. That's all I was saying. I've just, that's what I would have done. I would have backed up the car. I know I would have. And then I would have got out. And I would have said, okay, let's go. Okay, you got weapons. I got weapons. That's how mad the video made me. That's, I know me. I know I would have got out of the cop car. Maybe they couldn't. Maybe they were disabled. I don't know. You don't know. Maybe they have some disabilities. You don't know. I don't know the full story. Maybe it was

with the re there was two guys in the cop, though. There was two people in the cop car. Maybe the other person wasn't even a cop. I don't know. I don't know. My point was, do something. Don't do, don't do nothing. Don't talk on the radio. And it's dangerous. You're not even looking at you. You're talking on the radio. I don't want to get back into it, but my point is, don't listen to me. Maybe training, it's not, though, but maybe training is a little bit different. Maybe they have different training. It is about deescalate, deescalate, deescalate now. Maybe it's turning into a little bit of don't do anything anymore. I don't know. All I know is, don't listen to me. You're going to depot, and when you get out of depot, you're going to use what you train for. You're going to

use your training, and you're going to use some common sense, right? And you'll know if you should get out of the vehicle or not. And I hate to keep on talking about that incident, but I'm just a guy that wants to talk about stuff that people don't talk about. Nobody's talking about it, except it seems like me. And I felt like the other side needed to be put out there. Get out of the car. That's all I wanted to say. Well, there is other things I want to say, but you got to watch what you say, and it's sad. I hate that you got to watch what you say. Nobody's really talking about the real issues, right? Nobody. When I look at a video like that, I see two, two pieces of shit, two criminals, kicking the shit out of a police vehicle, two young guys. And what I really see

is, why is that happening? Why are they doing that? What makes them think that they can do that? Do they have fathers? I know it's deep, but what it really comes down to is broken families. People always ask, why are the jails overcrowded? Because of broken families. That's why. Why aren't we battling those issues? Quick to blame the police, but you're not quick to blame the dad that ain't there. Or the broken family or the single parenthood, pregnancy, without a father.

That's the problem. If there was more families in Canada, that stuck together, there would be less crime, there'd be less people in jail. That's what I see. I see two screwed up kids that most likely had a shitty childhood. That's the real issue. But we want to blame it on systemic racism. Nothing to do with broken families.

If I didn't have a dad and I just had a mom, I had it, I have something like a 10 times higher chance of going to jail. Yeah, I'm just grasping that 10%, 10%. I'm just kind of grasping that. Maybe it's 20. Maybe you got a 20% chance likelihood of going to jail if you just have a single parent. My point is you have a higher chance of going to jail if both parents don't stick together. Most of the calls, well, I'm going to say every single call that I went to that involved children, bad children.

It was always one thing in common. Where are the parents? Why aren't the parents together? Where's the dad usually? Dad's not in the scene. I'm not saying that you can't, of course you can have a loving mom and a loving dad and a kid could, you know, he can do some bad shit, okay? He could still go to jail. I'm just saying the chance.

The likelihood increases if you only have one parent. And that's the real issue. that's the real issue it's not drugs it's not alcohol it's family but we don't talk about that we don't talk about that we don't talk about how we're going to fix that we just blame the police but john don't listen to me maybe your training will tell you something different

you're going to figure it out on your own it bugged me I seen that cop on the radio while this was happening to his patrol vehicle and you being on the radio is like having your hands in your pocket you never have your hands in your pocket okay, they're ready to go or they're on a weapon and it bug me. So I mentioned it. Thanks for the comment, John.

And yeah, sure, go to Deppo. Join the RCMP. A lot of people would say, now's not a good time to become a cop. First of all, we need cops. Even though you hear Trudeau put them down, you hear the commissioner put him down. Andrew Shear, sing.

Nearly everybody in Canada seems like is putting down the RCMP and they're all racist. We need cops. They're quick to say that, but if they need you, they're calling you, right? We need cops. I need to have police in my community. And maybe right now is one of the best times to join. You know, when it comes to the stock market, I think about the stock market.

You want to buy low and sell high, right? That's kind of what you're doing if you join the RCMP because you're about to maybe get in there right now. and you're going to get a raise. Your raise is coming. Maybe everything will turn around once a raise comes in. I don't know. Hopefully things turn around. I don't know.

But then again, I think, no, I won't get into that part. I'm not going to say that. Okay, I will. If my son ever came up to me, let's say my son's 25, he's only 10, but if it was 25 and he said, Dad, I'm going to go become an RCMP officer.

I don't know. So it's easy for me to sit here and go, yeah, join. But I only say that. from a selfish point of view in kind of okay there a cmp gave me everything i ever wanted money a great career everything i ever wanted so those are good things let's just leave it there there's another comment that came in 53 minutes ago and i want to just say it and i wasn't going to sit down and talk about these comments really but uh heading to depot in a week these stories are giving me a good laugh and that's from johnny miller johnny miller's going to depot good for you johnny i don't even know

just say, you know what? Bring a lot of money, Johnny. Bring a lot. I spent over 20 grand in Depot. And I know a lot of people are calling bullshit on that right now, but I did. I got a rental. For me, I needed life to still exist. I needed to, if I wasn't going to enjoy the weekends, I was going to go crazy. So every weekend, I rented a car. I rented a car and get a gold card, okay? because you don't have to pay for the car insurance if you get a gold card and you'll save a ton of money. But I rented a vehicle every weekend. They would come to the guardroom. Enterprise, I think it was.

And my car would be delivered there. There was nothing better on a Friday. Then walk into the guard room, you got a car. You jump in that car after a week of being at Depot. You turn on the music. You go through McDonald's drive-thru. Oh, man. that was the best part and every weekend except for one weekend i got hotel room Friday and

Saturday at the quality end do they still have the quality in i don't even know back then it was 39 bucks a night 49 for the penthouse suite yeah get the penthouse suite at the quality in and yeah we would just relax and go out we went to a couple of bars during the weekend sometimes i would just study or polish i don't know the names of the bars but flarity or something or the hat something like that but uh it's exciting it's exciting that you're going to depot bring a lot of money a lot of money i know you guys kind of get paid now i don't know if that's enough wouldn't have been enough for me and don't say anything stupid and what i mean by that is like i remember being at depot and one guy said i can't wait to you know i had a dream last night that i blew

all you guys away with my gun and he was kicked out so don't say anything anything dumb. If you don't know how to iron, get your mom to teach you out of iron right now, okay? I don't know. I don't know what else I could say, but don't be cocky and enjoy it. You're going at a good time. You're going to freeze your ass off. But yeah, you might even get a Christmas break in there. I don't know. They used to give Christmas breaks. We got 10 days. It was awesome. If you don't have any money, get a line of credit or a loan. I don't care what you have to do. Just bring money. Let's take a call. Okay? I got to plug this in. Can you give me? me a second? Yeah, headset. I'm always paranoid that this is not going to work. And then I'm

really not recording. Let's take a call. I love it when you call, guys. You don't call enough. 604, it's the hotline number, 604-330-2512. Call me. Leave a message. Let's hear what this dude has to say. I already listened to it quickly one night. I was having a couple of beers. It was Friday or Saturday night and I liked it. And I didn't want, I don't like listening to it twice because then I, I wish I only listened to it once, because then you get my reaction. My first reaction was, well, I laughed. Matt Grant, at first I thought it was a computer generated voice. He's got one hell of a voice, doesn't he? Uh, hello, hello Matt. Matt Grant. Thanks, Matt. Thanks for calling. I appreciate it. You may

comments on my videos and I love it what do you got to say I am calling you from Cole Harbor Nova Scotia Jesus that's cool never been you say cold harbor or Cole but I was work with Fort McMurray Alberta Fort McMurray I know who went to Fort McMurray the Fort McMurray members there from my time oh by the way I I was never a member. I'm a former Alberta sheriff. Sheriff. So many sheriffs wanted to become Mounties

because it was like double the pay. That's all I wanted to say about that. And I held down some security jobs simultaneously at the time too. And two of your graduate, what do you say, Deep? Did he say Depot?

I didn't catch that the first time. I got to rewind that. You didn't say Depot. Matt. Let me rewind that. What do you say? Depot, uh, Mates, troop. No, it's depot. Matt. It's Depo. Not Depot. It's not Home Depot, buddy. I forgive you though. Mates may remember me. One being, uh, Mr. Joe Party. And, uh, I didn't know party

went to, uh, Fort McMurray. Thought he went to boil. Joe Party, right marker. God, the other guy there. He calls him. the big brawl, the big Maritime Junior A brawl. I'll get back to that in a second. Anyways, I really love your stuff here. I love that. You love it. Thank you. You know what? I know it's hit and miss.

It's a work in progress. Attention to it. I'm now working as a stuntman and actor. Actor. And I think that's what you should also be doing. I think you should get yourself into some acting classes. See, that confuses me. Acting classes. Haven't already. No.

Because believe you, me, I like the way your mind works. He likes the way my mind works. That's nice. And I can see what you're saying when you're not even saying it. That's a talent. See it through your expressions and through your insinuations. So please, you know, you should find your way into an agency and to a, an agency and How do I do that?

I don't even know what an agency is. I don't know how to do that. I don't know the first thing about doing that. But, yeah. Get yourself on set. Because I just played a police officer on set. Played a police officer on set. How would you play a police officer on set?

There'd be no smiling, right? That's how I would do it. I mean, if you're going to be truthful, right? This is dumb, I know. But there'd be no laughing of just be giggles, soft giggles. without a smile. It would actually be pretty easy if you think about it. Being a cop on set.

Yeah. Anyways. I don't know why I just said that. I probably shouldn't have said that. Something I think you could be doing, and maybe you already are. I don't know. Anyways, cheers mate.

Cheers mate to you and how do I do it. I don't know how to do it, Matt. And are they still doing it? I guess they're still doing it during COVID, eh? Dave Weatherby caused the biggest brawl in Maritime Junior A hockey history. That was his name. Anyways, take care. All the best, and I will follow your careers.

When he said Weatherby the first time I went, ha ha ha! Like, I really laughed. I can't fake. I can't fake. Well, I just faked it. It was a fake laugh. But that's awesome. He's going to follow my career like I got one. But thanks, Matt. That was nice. And that's cool. You went from sheriff to actor. Stuntman. That's big time.

That's cool. That's cool. You're doing what you like. You said, piss on the sheriff. Piss on the $50,000 a year. I'm going to go become an actor and wish I knew what movies you were in. And yeah, who wouldn't want to be an actor? Really? How awesome would that be? That'd be pretty cool. David Weatherby. Did you say his first name? whether be caused one of the biggest brawls in uh i don't know something to do with a hockey game and i've heard that twice now and he never once told me about that he never wants you know what's funny about depot you go there you shit shave shower with 22 other guys you become really close to them and then you leave And in a lot of cases, you never talk to them again. David Weatherby? Was my best friend at Deppo.

Hands down, he smokes smokes. I watched him smoke, smokes. And, yeah, we became really close. I watched him smoke about 10 smokes a day and then 10 at night. And it's funny, smokers bond, don't they? You bond with other smokers? And, yeah, he was one of my best friends, well, the best friend in depot and uh i miss the guy but i feel guilty i feel guilty that you become really close to

these people you go you get posted to your detachments and you never talk again you never speak again maybe it's just me i don't know but i don't think i ever spoke to that guy again and uh yeah yeah so i heard that and I immediately thought, you know what, I'm going to show a Weatherby clip. Yes, I am. And it kind of works out. Weatherby says he's sour in this because he's making his bed and he's polishing his Sam Brown. And it's really short clip. It's kind of for John Campbell, Johnny Miller, and Matt Grant.

John and Johnny, this is what Deppo looks like. Well, it's what it looked like when I went to it. It's not all terrible. There's a lot of good times. And you're going to see Weatherby making his bed with a... What do you call those things? A hanger? Yeah, a hangar that you put your clothes on?

Man, Weatherby would spend 30 minutes a day on his bed. I spent four minutes. Let me tell you something, Johnny Miller. When you go to Depo, don't waste all your time making your bed. We ironed it. We, we, there couldn't be a crinkle in it. So we thought, I was actually told the first week at depot from, from an instructor that we don't give a shit what your bed looks like. Okay, we really don't.

And I told my troop that they didn't believe me. Then at the end of depot, my entire troop was told from one of the main dudes that they don't care about your, and Joe Party actually said to me, Clint was right. And I never spent hardly any time on my bed. I had a buddy that went to Dupo. I told him about it. I said, man, they don't care about your bed. What does he do? He slept on the floor because he didn't want to make his bed because it was so time consuming.

So for months, he slept on the floor and not on his bed, the hard floor. And what happens? They go and check on him in the middle of the night. And he got in some big shit because he got in big trouble for sleeping on the floor. And I'm like, dude, why would you do that? I told you they don't give a shit about your bed. The bed has really just, it's come down to tradition, I guess, ironing your bed. I don't even know if you guys even care about the beds anymore.

I don't know. I haven't been to depot in a long time. Maybe you don't even, maybe you know now that you don't have to iron your bed. Anyways, enjoy the clip of Weatherby trying to polish and making his bed. and call the hotline number 604-330-2512. I think that's all I want to say. Yeah, don't listen to me too much. Okay.

Don't listen to me too much. And stop calling them Russell Wilson. Okay, it's Russ. Don't you hate it when people do that? There's so many Daves out there. You call them Dave, and what do they say? I prefer David. Call him Russ.

And look who's talking, right? My name's Clinton, Jaws. But I prefer Clint. It wouldn't have made sense if I wrote if my channel was Clint Jaws. It has to be Clinton Jaws. But nobody in this world on this planet calls me Clinton. I'm going to stop talking. Thanks for watching, guys.

Bye-bye. Oh, what was that? There's Weatherby. Good old David. From P.E.I. That's how it's done, eh? What time is it? Just about 7 o'clock and he still works.
