Starting point is 00:02:33 but I'm going to tell you something. Actually, I'm going to have a cigar, what I tell you. I'm not on Spotify yet. I'm still trying to get on Spotify. Back on Spotify. 2499. I recommend getting one of these. Works really good.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Believeable. Last night. Last night, But, okay, she doesn't watch the show. And I get away with talking. If she, I swear to God, if she ever, if she ever watched the show, are we calling it a show? If she ever watched my episodes, I'd be in big trouble. Honest to God, I'd be in big trouble.
Starting point is 00:03:30 But what else am I going to talk about, right? I got to talk about her. We're upstairs last night. And I'm like, you know what, honestly, all week I sit around and I wait for her to get off work. So when she comes home on a Friday, I don't know why I pick Friday to do it. I know it's her day off. And, okay, I see where she's coming from now, now that I'm talking it out. And I said to her, you know, I'm just going to go downstairs and I'm going to do some videos.
Starting point is 00:04:07 And she's like, so what am I going to do? And I said, well, do you want me to, do you want to hang out? She's like, yeah. I'm like, okay, I can do videos tomorrow. What do you want to do? And she's like, let's watch a movie. I'm like, okay. Yeah, I like movies.
Starting point is 00:04:28 When's the last time you've seen a good movie, though? You know what I mean? So she picks out the movie with this Ben guy. He played Batman. I forget his name. Ben, it's not Shapiro. Ben something. It's amazing that I forget his name.
Starting point is 00:04:44 But she puts on this movie. It's called The Way Back or something. I might have that wrong. And I don't like it when she picks the movies. I'm going to make this fast. I don't want this to be one of those long stories. Like I talked about the prostate or the, yeah, the prostate exam. And man, did I get flack over that one?
Starting point is 00:05:08 Got some comments that they weren't too happy with me with that one. So she puts on this movie. And it's called The Way Back. And I swear to God, man. First of all, I can't stand it when she puts movies on. Like when she picks the movie, this is how it starts, okay? He's working right now. This is a short story.
Starting point is 00:05:52 He's working right now, okay? Construction. Then the music comes on. You hear the music? But then I started saying, I've had a hard life. I'm like, here we go. This is going to be a great...
Starting point is 00:06:17 What a great evening. I'm looking so forward to sitting here with you and watching this movie. I'm dying. I started saying that. I'm dying. I'm almost. my last leg. Well she's like flipping out inside but I think I'm being funny.
Starting point is 00:06:35 He's walking to his truck. He walks to his truck, this bend guy. He looks over, grabs a beer, takes it out of the cooler, pours it in a cup. Oh my god and I said to the wife, I said, are we seriously gonna watch this shit stuff? He's in a bronco sitting out, oh he's at the beer parlor now. Sad. Watching some basketball. Sipping on his beer. Down on his luck. Life ain't good. This is the night we're going to have for next three hours probably. He's having a shower. He's all lonely. He can barely breathe.
Starting point is 00:07:32 He's looking up at the sky right now. He's out of soap. He's got no soap. Oh, he's just using he just used a bar of soap to wash his hair. That's how down. Oh, he's drinking a beer. in the shower. And I'm like, oh my my God. Please do not make me watch this. Way back. Star and Ben.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Affleck. That's his name. And see, just talking like that, I'm going to get in trouble. So I start doing all that, right? I was and she shuts it off. She shuts off the movie and I'm going to tell you the truth. She actually flipped out. She flipped out
Starting point is 00:08:26 and was upset because whenever she picks the movie, I don't like it. And she's tired of seeing my movies. Like the Matrix. I like the Matrix. So I wasn't giving her a fair shake. I already know how this movie's going to end. I don't care about the ending. If a movie starts bad, it's going to be bad. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Obviously, if she's going to, she doesn't watch my movies. Why do I have to watch her movies? She never watches my movies. So I started, you know, kind of bugging her. She shuts it off. She's irate with me.
Starting point is 00:09:04 She lets me have it. And I can't stop laughing. I can't stop laughing. I get the giggles. And every time she gets angry, I keep on laughing a little bit harder. Like, I can't control it. And I'm sitting by the fireplace.
Starting point is 00:09:20 And I don't recommend. Don't do this. Okay, I'm not telling you to do this. And I said, come on. Let's watch it. It looks like a good movie. I want to watch it with you. No.
Starting point is 00:09:35 No, I'm not watching it with you. So I put Netflix on my phone and I started watching it by myself in the corner. Well, she's sitting on the couch. And that did not go over well. And that's pretty sick that I thought it was funny. I sat there for five minutes watching it and then all hell broke loose. What are we going to do tonight? We're going to do some things tonight.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Okay. Oh, the poll. I want to talk about the poll right now. Give me two seconds here. I did a poll. Oh, wow. I asked you guys, what do you want to hear more of, positive happy stories about policing and RCMP management,
Starting point is 00:10:26 or negative sarcastic stories about policing and RCMP management? When I started off the poll, I said to my wife, I said, who do you think, what do you think they picked more of? And my wife said positive happy stories. I said, yeah, you're right when I first started the poll. I said, you're right. And kind of me, I was kind of like, I was surprised by it to tell you the truth. It's, I'll tell you the Indian in a second, but I was actually, it kind of made me feel bad a little bit.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Like I was, you guys were telling me I was being too negative because you want to hear more happy stories. And I thought, you don't. And it made me think, I'm being too negative. I'm being too negative. And if you want, you know, there's a guy that has a, what the hell is his name now? It's amazing. I come down here and I forget things. But there's a guy.
Starting point is 00:11:25 He does a podcast. I don't know if he's calling it a podcast. He should. It's called real, what's it called? Real cops, real life. His name is Steve. Quigs? I know I'm getting his name wrong. But I've watched actually a lot of his stuff, positive.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Now that guy is positive. And you should actually subscribe to his channel. Real cops, real life. I don't know him. He doesn't know me. But he's still a cop. He's six years. About six years in. Got a beautiful wife. And I thought, how great that he's doing this while he's a cop. He can't talk about everything. he wants to talk about because he's still a police officer but he's going to be able to talk about
Starting point is 00:12:14 anything he wants to talk about when he retires and he's going to have all those subscribers and he should never stop it but if you want to hear about positivity this guy i would i would definitely subscribe to his channel anyways i lost my train of thought any the wife said people want more positive stuff and she was right off at the beginning and that at the end of the vote 42% want positive happy stories, 58% want negative sarcastic stories. So it's kind of in between. And one person said, why don't, why don't you just do both? And I'm like, well, yeah, that's kind of what I'm doing, right? When I first started this podcast, and I didn't mean to talk about this for so long, but I was out to get, I felt like I was out to get people and I wanted to voice my, I wanted
Starting point is 00:13:04 to immediately a voice all the negativity. Because a big part of me had a problem with retiring. and I'm not going to say any more about that, but I don't feel that way anymore. Doesn't mean I'm not going to let people have it. Just means I'm not so quick to do it. Am I supposed to inhale? I'm not supposed to inhale that. Okay, this is what we're going to do tonight. How long?
Starting point is 00:13:40 I feel like I've been talking for 15 minutes. We're going to go down memory lane. I found, I'm in my, I'm in my garage. Right now I'm getting my garage done. It's about 25 feet. long the width i don't know what the width is it's a big area it's a huge area i emptied my garage i hired two guys to come in there they ripped out all the desks and it was a workshop they ripped them all out spent them it took them a day to rip all that out they're going to do some drywall it's going to be
Starting point is 00:14:12 a beautiful room just my room i'm going to set this stuff up i'm going to have a lot of room i'm going to put my drum set in there not like i'm a drummer and my weights not that like i lift weights but i'm going to put that in there beautiful couch, TV, all this stuff. And I'm really excited about it. The wife is like, why are you doing that now right before Christmas? It's weird. I don't know why the wife wouldn't be happy about it.
Starting point is 00:14:44 You know, when I do these podcasts, my daughter's... Not my daughter. I can hear my daughter from the ceiling. And I know you guys can too. And it just doesn't work. My garage is way over there. Way over there. And yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:06 While I'm cleaning out the garage, this is what I find. And this is what we're going to do. We're going to go through memory lane of what I found. And I'm going to take a couple of calls. I open up a box and I find this. Okay, this is some kind of work binder. And I sat there probably for a good half an hour and I didn't go through all of it. And I'm not going to say my, I, I,
Starting point is 00:15:44 I might have got a little emotional. But I had kept things from over the years, mostly Duncan. And you guys should do this too. Collect things from every police station you go to, every police station you work at. Collect it over the years. Because you're going to open it up one day and you're going to remember it. And it's kind of cool. Right away when I open it up, I see a picture.
Starting point is 00:16:16 And I'm like, what the hell is that? See this? when I was it that's a picture of a birthday cake and I can't swear on like I don't want to swear this episode and it they wrote on it the guys at the police station wrote on it B&E slash attended scene slash SLC high I don't believe him NFAR F off CH and I don't know it doesn't really sound that funny but one night I'm working okay I go to this B&E, I don't believe the complaint, I know the complaint that's lying to me, and it makes me angry because it took about an hour and a half. I go back to the detachment, I sit down at a computer, and it's back when we had roads and purrs, and you could just conclude a file with, I don't know, so many characters, like quickly.
Starting point is 00:17:11 It would take less than, I don't know, 60 seconds. But I can't do it because this guy said it was a B&E, and I got to believe that it's a B&E, even though I know it's not a B&E. So angrily I wrote at the computer, B&E attended scene, SLC, high, I don't believe, I'm NFAR, F-O-F-F-H, and I printed it off. I think I said a couple more things on that. And people got a hold of it and they couldn't stop. They thought it was funny. I don't know. I don't know if it's that funny.
Starting point is 00:17:40 But when I seen that, it brought me back. It brought me back and I don't even know if my story made any sense. and I got a What's this? I don't even remember to tell you the truth Somebody thanking me Do you ever get cards?
Starting point is 00:17:56 You don't get cards? I got a card and I kept it sincerely. Ron Hill or Ruth Hill or something It was a special thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to come tell us
Starting point is 00:18:09 the whereabouts of somebody. It is a greatly relief to all of us to know that we now can get on with our lives. I guess somebody died and I found them.
Starting point is 00:18:24 What you did was greatly appreciate it. You know, when you're a cop, very rarely are you going to be rewarded by your bosses. Very rarely are you going to be acknowledged by anybody. So when you get this stuff from the public, it's kind of nice. We really doing this? I guess we are. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I don't know why I got this. So this is what I used to do. You want to know where the cleanest washroom is in the police station? It's the guard room. Nobody uses it. Only the guards. So the whole police station doesn't use it. And I'm a weirdo when it comes to clean bathrooms.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I need a clean bathroom. So wherever place I worked at, I always used the guard room bathroom. And maybe I did something bad in it one day. But I got a note. You believe it. Can you believe it? You're working your butt off. You're taking 10 files a shift.
Starting point is 00:19:40 And you start your next day, your next shift to one of these. Constable Joss, as far from today, as far from today, the guardroom washroom is off limits to all GD personnel. Hope this does not cause too much of an inconvenience signed head guard. I'm a guard. Idiot. 06, 08, 28, 28. Isn't that something I left it? I went to Langley a month later.
Starting point is 00:20:13 What a more... who's the head guard? I wish I remembered who it was. Why is the guardroom washroom off limits? Who are you? That's my washroom. No. No. It's not. It's my washroom too. Tell me I can't shit in the washroom.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Are you being stuck? That's not... I don't know how this is entertaining, but... It is to me. I'm gonna be here all night if I read this. Field coaching program. Oh, six-month assessment. Am I doing okay?
Starting point is 00:20:50 Looks like it. Just average. Taking all the files, but I'm just average. Taking the most files on the watch. Just average, guys. You're meeting. You're meeting it. Jaws has continued to work hard.
Starting point is 00:21:05 He's carried a heavy workload through a busy summer. a busy summer. Yeah, you think? My first day, you know what my watch commander said? Hope you're a quick learner. She wasn't kidding. We work short-handed most of the time. Well, every time, what are you talking about? The watch commander wouldn't call anybody in. We'd be below minimum. She, I swear to God, she never called anybody in. There was times where there was three people, her and two other constables, me and Darren Lagan, she wouldn't call anybody in. The watch that would start after us? Eight people.
Starting point is 00:21:45 She thought she was going to get promoted by night. She thought she would get in trouble if she was to call somebody in for overtime. She thought that would make her look bad. She's trying to save the company money. I'm not lying. I'm not making that up. He's given a lot of his own time. That's all I did.
Starting point is 00:22:01 All my days off, I was at work working for free. So I can benefit the watch somehow. Oh, I'm high quality. That's pretty good. So if I'm taking all these. Gail, if I'm taking all these files and I'm kicking butt, and it's high quality paperwork that I'm giving you guys, is there a reason why you can't tick off superior on anything?
Starting point is 00:22:28 Co-workers and clients, good work, they're saying good work ethic. Why do I feel like this is going to be a two-hour podcast? And what if it is? I'll tell you why. No, I won't. Merry Christmas, Clint. Your secret admirer. Like, this is what we do on night shift.
Starting point is 00:22:49 I don't even know where that came from. Who wrote that? Reports the Crown Council. This magazine. So my watch, they knew how much I loved Angelina, Julie. So they put a picture of me. I don't know if you can see it. I don't know why they did that.
Starting point is 00:23:12 It's not that funny when you think about it, but. I wouldn't have remembered that if I didn't keep. it. Where is she? I was in love with Angelina Jolie. My first house in Cedar. I don't know why that's in there. I bought it for $148,000, sold it for $320 after two years, two or three years. And that's another thing, guys. When you move around, do whatever you can to keep the house. You will become a millionaire if you move around all the time and you're able to keep the house. find a way and then rent it out. Just another assessment. Just one sentence here.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Sergeant Stiles was impressed with the actions of Constable Jaws to subdue a suicidal man with a knife. He felt they dealt with a situation of professional and tactical sound manner. He felt it was appropriate and to clude the above-noted 10-04. Constable Jaws has not had an assessment from Duncan for several years. Anyways, Sergeant Stiles He comes from Comox, Courtney, and everybody's
Starting point is 00:24:26 like, oh, watch out for this guy, okay? Just watch out for him. Like, they're trying to... Here's the thing. I can't stand it when other police officers paint a bad picture for somebody knew that's going to go to a different place.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Let me decide. And I decided. And he was a great guy. Sergeant Stiles was a great guy. I really enjoyed working for him. He was a great staff sergeant. He's probably retired. Yeah, he would be. But yeah, good job, Sergeant Stiles.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Good guy. And I always remember that. When you hear negativity that somebody who's coming to your watch as bad, don't let that infect your mind about that person. You make up your own decision. RCMP does too much of that all the time, all the time.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Let's say you're working, okay? And you got a, you hate your boss and your boss hate you. Okay? You guys don't got a good relationship. You can't stand each other. Your boss is going to go to an animal. The new boss comes in. What does your boss do?
Starting point is 00:25:49 Talks negative about you. Now, what does the new boss think of you? It's horseshit. Looks important. I don't know if I should have all this stuff. Should be destroyed, I think. it's an assessment after two years. If I'm writing an assessment for a constable
Starting point is 00:26:32 and he takes the most files on the watch, it's the first thing I'm going to say. It doesn't say that. I took the most files in Duncan probably up to four years. It wasn't even close. The next person behind me wasn't even close. And the only reason I say four years
Starting point is 00:26:51 because after four and a half years, I started being the acting watch commander. And you're probably thinking, well, that's too soon. You can't be the acting watch commander at four and a half years. Well, maybe you're right. But if you're taking the most files, a thousand more than other people at other police stations, because, you know, I'll work a block and I'll take 40 files that block. 40, 50 files.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Where other police officers, they might take two, five, 10. I quickly learned how to become a cop because I had to. Duncan was so busy back then, and I took so many files that's all I'm going to say about that. Really, if you think about it, four years was eight years at Duncan. He has shown improvement in the meaning, in the managing of his diary dates. Shut up. I encourage him to enroll in the time management course offer through the RCMP. Time management course, isn't that something?
Starting point is 00:27:58 They had a time management course. the first I've heard of it. She's saying I got problems with my time management. I got a 30 to 40 file load in my file cabinet when I start working. I go out on the streets. I'm taking all the files on the watch. When my day is over, I'm on the streets. All shift.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I come back. This watch commander, Hey, Clint, I got something to sink her teeth into. She takes files from the front counter and puts them in my name. You don't have to get to them right away. I had no time. I could manage my time, but I had no time. And because I had no time, I went to work on my days off.
Starting point is 00:28:49 And I'm not kidding about that. It was like every day on my days off. I'm not the problem, rocks. You're the problem. I'm getting angry. How can you be so stupid in your head? How can you be so stupid? You think I'm the problem?
Starting point is 00:29:09 You think I got time management? problems? See, I'm being negative. Why do you think that? It's impossible. It was impossible to keep up. The only way it was possible if I work for free on my days off, and I did that. And you would think that she would dive more into that. Very professional approach to ambiguous and stressful circumstances. It's quickly to assess a situation, identify the issues, and to take appropriate action. Oh, yeah. He was the first member responding to a woman on fire. Oh, that was a nice call. Going to Duncan and the woman's on fire?
Starting point is 00:29:49 Constable Jaws is sensitive to the diverse cultures in the couch and valley. Valley, there you go. Very patient, calm, genuine when dealing with individual or groups. Feel bad for that lady when I think about her. I wonder whatever happened to her. Okay, she was in IDAT, okay? I became a watch commander. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:30:24 Nothing again. side, but really? Oh my God. It's for Neil O'Garion. He committed suicide. He was one of my supervisors in Langley. And sad. I like the guy. Took a gun to his head. Jaws is mature. I don't know about that. Professional member who's well spoken. Okay, well. Has ability to take on leadership role. Jaws cares about the members on his watch. Yeah, I did. Look, I was advised by Corporal. And he's going to hate me for this. Mazeros from Sea Watch that he was impressed with the sensitivity,
Starting point is 00:31:07 Constable Jaws displayed dealing with a victim of domestic assault. Constable Jaws was sensitive to the victim's knees. You want to know something funny about Langley? They came up to me. There was a member that was fired for five years. Five years, okay? I'm not going to tell this, man. So I took him, they wanted me to take him under his wing to,
Starting point is 00:31:31 he's gone for five years guys he's got to relive he's got to relearn how to become a cop again and so we drive around for a long time and i'm teaching him the ropes and we drank beers together hung out to beer hung out together all the time and went to moxies all the time and had a great time all the time and he said to me once drives me crazy that uh that you're acting on the watch you're an acting supervisor and i got more years than you i'm like dude no you Don't. What are you talking? You've been gone for five. You got like two years service. Anyways, we became best friends. He gets engaged, has a wedding, doesn't invite me, but invites all the other corporals, sergeant and staff sergeant, to his wedding. It was the last time we spoke.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I probably shouldn't have told that story. I just, I, I'm, forget it. That's an episode. I know this stuff is boring for you, but it's not boring for me. me. Okay? I never, I don't even remember getting a good 10.04. And this is so silly. This is like the basic, the most basic 104 you can ever get. This corporal, Mike Wilton, wrote me a 1004 and I appreciate it. And it had to do with stolen tailgates. Okay, he's running tailgates on the purr system because he's looking for a suspect to, for one of his files. And he runs all these tailgates. And he runs all these tailgates and nobody entered them properly on the computer. There was one exception to this.
Starting point is 00:33:15 It was Clint's file where he had completed a narrative with a brief description of the tailgate and was entered properly on Purrs. Clint took no shortcuts and had the file documented very well. It was a pleasure to read a file that was done properly from start to finish. Good work, Clint. Like, oh, we won't talk about this one. That's an episode. Right there.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I read that little document? She was no longer our watch commander. Make me feel good to say that. NV6.6020. Is that what they were called? 6020, yeah. Who in the hell is ever going to get a 6020 right? There's nothing worse than going to an accident
Starting point is 00:34:09 and have to fill out the 6020. Okay, it's an accident report. We assist ICBC. The all police assist ICBC. And it's the dumbest form that you've ever seen. You can never figure it out. it takes forever. And all the pink are the mistakes that I made.
Starting point is 00:34:28 I made a lot of mistakes on that. I am not going to get any views on this. A tie. Look at that. You know what? They outload. They said to us one day, you don't have to wear the tie. But Bell Hansra showed up.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Even though he didn't have to wear the tie, he still wore the tie. I kind of like that. I think the tie was a good look. I think it was a mistake that they got rid of a tie. Look, and I even got my tie. clip. This is the best episode I've ever done. I'm going to tell you the truth about tickets, okay? I'll tell you the truth. I wrote very few. I hardly wrote any tickets. But I remember feeling so bad, I would write a ticket, serve it to him, and then I'd come back
Starting point is 00:35:46 to the police station, and I wouldn't hand the ticket in purposely. So they never had to pay for it. You read any tickets clean? Oh yeah, I wrote them. Then I destroyed them. I feel like I'm going to get in trouble for that. I don't know what the hell this is, but I'm in Dunk and I do an emergency vehicle operations assignment. Okay? It has to do with, uh, let's see.
Starting point is 00:36:27 What's it say? Carrow. That looks cool. You need a haircut, dude. I really like that. What's on the other side? Nothing. Are you going to do one for me?
Starting point is 00:36:42 Please don't put this in your video. You're on video. I know, but like, No, I'm not gonna. Please. Hey, can you, can you do me one? Please. Make it Jaws?
Starting point is 00:36:51 What? I'll put it on a shirt and sell it. You're not allowed to, you're not allowed to touch that. Remember this? Okay, go, I got, I gotta talk here. Okay. You're taking the monkey, okay. You wanna learn.
Starting point is 00:37:14 I made those flashcards for you down here. I know, you made them like ages ago, didn't you? Mm-hmm. Go get a haircut. It's gonna snow later. Yay. Yes. I'll take you to the park.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Shut the door. Hey, you got to shut the door. Emergency vehicle operation assignment. And he wrote, are you sure you're right-handed? I guess I didn't do a good job. I don't know what that meant. But there was a sticky note on it. And it was from one of the bosses.
Starting point is 00:37:48 And he said, I'll take care of this. This has been addressed. I guess he was really mad at what he wrote there. E-division job. Mission. The job. got so funny. No, it's not funny. It's interesting. I graduated on March 11th and it says closing date March 11th. And it was the day that I had seven years was the day that it closed. If this
Starting point is 00:38:19 job would have closed March, it's so interesting to think about it. If the closing date was March 12 I wouldn't have been a watch commander of mission I wouldn't have had the kids that I have which are great kids. Kids are awesome.
Starting point is 00:38:38 My life would be totally different. It's funny how that works. I applied the first day that I could actually be promoted to corporal. We got people coming over tonight. They're great people.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Great people. It's just I don't know. It's hard to entertain. You know what I mean? Sometimes. I don't even know what time it is. It's getting late. Oh my God. Wife's vacuuming you right now. Do you believe it? I can't wait to move over there. This. I kept this. See that? Look at this. It's me in the paper. I don't know if you can see it. I got my gun out. I'm going to take some people down.
Starting point is 00:39:50 I'm going to take a homicide accused. down. We get a call at Mount Preville. We're at the bottom of the mountain. No, here's the story. I get a call of a man dead in his vehicle. I think I could talk about this.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Anyways, I go up there and first on saying he did. Okay, he dead. So I call everybody up and I'm like, we got to do this, that, and this. And we stage at the bottom of the mountain. and a vehicle starts driving down the mount so Dave's like
Starting point is 00:40:38 Pronti's like Dave you call it you call it so Dave does the high wrist take down they got me in the photograph with my gun out and there's somebody on on their knees right here do you see that do you see that hottest girl and Duncan okay
Starting point is 00:40:55 we pulled over three gorgeous hot sticky girls that worked at a pub in Duncan. The Jakes or something like that. I can't remember what it was. And I knew them. I knew them. Because we always went there to the Jake something. And it was, they were innocent, of course. They were just girls, girls that were picking weed, marijuana, up at the mountain. And I'm telling you, I can't get in trouble for this because it's the truth. but there was one girl that was just like smoking smoking hot and I and I felt so bad I had my gun pointed at them then I put handcuffs on her and I put her in the back seat of the cop car and I don't search her
Starting point is 00:41:45 but I asked her I said do you got any weapons or anything on you that shouldn't be on you I say something like that she goes I'm not going to lie and from her crotch area she pulls out the biggest bag of marijuana I've ever seen and I'm like oh my god and I'm the first thing first I thought was why'd you tell me that I don't want to see it and I somehow got away with not charging her with that big bag of marijuana and I can't remember how but always felt bad about that pointing my gun at those girls innocent girls that just were in the wrong place at the wrong time but our acting watch commander at the time wanted us to do a high risk takedown so that's what we did And Dave was a hero.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Because he did a really good job, actually. Nightingale. Oh, I just found this. This is so funny. So this is another MV 6020. We used to get our MV 6020s, our accident reports, reviewed by the traffic section, Highway Patrol. And this is what he wrote on the bottom.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Clint, wake up and pay attention. How many times have you been shown how to do these? And really, dude. Dude, look it. Look how great I got from the last one that I showed you. Look at, hardly any errors. No pink, just a couple of green. Wake up and that's where I got. Now I remember, I got the ticket on it.
Starting point is 00:43:45 I shouldn't have said go. I feel bad. Stepping on my lines though. I didn't reports. I have so many I didn't reports because I used to be a socko and all I did was... That's boring. I'm actually going to blow my own horn here. When I was a Sacco member, I was unbelievable at it. Norm will tell you. Linsky?
Starting point is 00:44:10 Lizzynski? I can't remember his last name. My parents were so proud they put me in the paper. Look at that sexy beast. The local newspaper. And they spelled my last name wrong. Jan Orski. My friend's got a good laugh at that one.
Starting point is 00:44:51 If I burn Gales Burger, I'll get an extension. Dion. If I touch Clint's buns, I'll go back to G. I don't know what that means. I think it was in traffic. Look at that. Too sexy dudes. Yeah, Klassen, Klaassen or something like that?
Starting point is 00:45:12 I don't know why that's there. I guess I liked the pitcher or somebody liked it. Oh. Okay. I guess we went to a call and I was wearing somebody's gloves. Another member that had lost them. And that member said, those are my gloves. Or something like that.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I went, oh, okay, here you go. and so they did up a file. This is when I was really new, and they labeled it internal theft. And they wrote it up, they said, Constable Clappus found missing search gloves in Constable Jaws possession. Jaws returned them upon request,
Starting point is 00:45:54 stated he couldn't find the owner, possibly legit, SUI to Sergeant Goodridge for follow-up. And then they wrote on a 1624, Constable Flood, Gonzales, Belanche, Clappas, Jaws, all at scene. Clappas noticed what appeared to be
Starting point is 00:46:12 her gloves in Shaw's possession. Clappus questioned Jaws, and he returned the gloves, stating that he had not been able to locate the owner. S-U-I for follow-up. And I don't know. I know you don't find it funny, but it's funny.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Okay, and then they took a photograph or a something, a Xerox of the gloves. And I wouldn't have remembered that. if I didn't keep it. The shit's a big deal. It's a big deal and you guys got to save stuff over the years. Could you imagine if I wasn't recording? What's this?
Starting point is 00:47:03 Oh yeah. Oh, that's a paycheck. Oh, wow. What's a whopper? Oh, my God. It's so funny. Back in 2004, I made $1,583, and when I retired,
Starting point is 00:47:19 I didn't make much more after that. It looks fancy. Oh my God. Look at that. That's a fancy thing right there. Please accept my congratulations on your promotion to rank a corporal. It's a significant achievement. It was.
Starting point is 00:47:53 It's actually the hardest thing, I think. I think it's the hardest promotion to get is constable to corporal. Anything after that, it's easy to become sergeant and staff sergeant. That's easy. Gary Bass. Signed Gary Bass. That was a proud day. I worked my ass off to get that promotion.
Starting point is 00:48:20 That's why I got it. It was all downhill from there. Duncan's swim team raffle. Oh my God. I got Wayne Gretzky here, guys. Hey, Gretzky. Why do I have that? I wonder if that's worth anything.
Starting point is 00:48:43 That's got to be old. What is that? And underneath all that, I found this. This ain't a big deal, but it's a big deal to me, okay? Look at this. Jaws Troop 14 even have the cleaner for the glasses. My first pair of shooting glasses. Look how nasty they are.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Keep this stuff. It's going to mean something to you. Later on on life. Isn't it amazing that I sat down here and I meant to take calls at the same time? Because people have called my hotline number. And I never did, or maybe I should. Oh, my God. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Look at that. My plane ticket, when I was in depot, January, I went back January 1st at 2 o'clock. I was in depot and we had a break. We had a depot break. And I kept the tickets, the flight tickets. And I kept my flight ticket on when I graduated too. graduated March 11th We flew out March 12th
Starting point is 00:49:59 It's just neat to see I didn't know I went to Calgary You know what I mean? Like I flew into Calgary as a stopover I remember that now I had a layover like five hours And this girl wouldn't stop talking to me Not that I minded
Starting point is 00:50:20 So funny This stuff is just It actually is a It makes you remember I don't know Do I take calls or do I end it? I think I end it.
Starting point is 00:50:43 I think I end this. You know what? I don't care. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. When I do long episodes, I get punished. A lot of people call in,
Starting point is 00:51:05 they say, Clint, I like your longer episodes. I like, I really appreciate them. I listen to them while I go to work. I listen to them at work on Spotify. I like your longer ones.
Starting point is 00:51:18 But it does nothing for my YouTube channel. My YouTube channel actually punishes me because when you click on one of my podcasts that are over an hour or even 40 minutes, not, I'm not, if I don't get a lot of views on it and nobody's going to watch it for that long, obviously. If I don't get a lot of views on it, YouTube doesn't promote it. So it does the shits. And I shouldn't think that way. I shouldn't care about that. Really, I shouldn't think about that. That shouldn't bother me.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Who cares? Who cares if not a lot of people are watching it? But, you know, sometimes I get messages saying you're underrated. I don't know why you have, uh, why don't you have more subscribers? Well, that's the reason. That's a good reason why. If somebody just clicks on my video, then they realize, I'm not watching this for an hour. Then I get docked.
Starting point is 00:52:19 I get like, they're like, no, we're not going to recommend it, suggest it to anybody. and I shouldn't care about that. That's not what this is about. But it is nice to have more subscribers than I do. I look at some of the podcasts out there. They got 80,000 subscribers. It also doesn't help with the things that I talk about. Like when I talk about COVID,
Starting point is 00:52:54 and I can't even see that. The moment I say that word, AI picks it up. They don't want you talking about that stuff. The government application in inundated with criminal record check, credit check, all the of the COVID stuff as well, email for regular member status security firms. But yet, I hadn't even wrote the exam yet. I wrote the exam previously, failed it by not much. But it just seems kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I didn't do all this stuff when I wrote about eight months ago. But I don't know if things would change, if they're hurting, if they're expediting. Just I don't know what your thoughts to be on this. the reasoning behind us or the, if you have previous peace officer experience, are the kind of waiting the test, I don't know. So, yeah, those are your thoughts on us. Thanks, buddy. And love the last video.
Starting point is 00:54:02 I'm sorry you went through that pain, but it was funny. Anyways, thanks. Bye-bye. Oh, thanks, dude. Thank you. I don't know why that happened to you. I don't even know what your question was to tell you the truth. I'm trying to remember it.
Starting point is 00:54:15 That was lighten a cigarette. I don't know why they ask for all that documentation right now, because they're not, here's the, the RCMP change, change things all the time. You, far as I know, is it doesn't make any sense that they would ask for your security clearance or it almost sounds like they're asking for information from your pre-employment, for the pre-employment polygraph questionnaire, but that doesn't make any sense. Bees you're supposed to write again, because you failed it the first time. It's possible that they're not supposed to ask for that documentation.
Starting point is 00:54:52 and I don't know why they did or they have. But it's possible that they're going back to your old test score and they're saying it's good enough. Your old test score is good enough and now we need you to, even though it's eight months later, now we need you to fill out more documentation to continue on in the process.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Chances are I'm wrong. That's not it. But RCMP, they change the steps daily without even telling you. I told you this before, I'll tell you it again, and I don't even know if I'm making sense right now. But I, every year, back when I tried to become a cop,
Starting point is 00:55:38 you could only write the test once a year. And when my year had expired, I said, forget it. I wrote the test like eight times. I can't remember how many times. It was like five, six, seven. I don't even know. But I said, forget it.
Starting point is 00:55:51 I'm not writing it again. And I was like 13 months, 14, 15 months over past the last time that I wrote it. Last time I wrote it, they said my mark wasn't good enough. And then all of a sudden somebody comes up from, because I lived in a basement suite, somebody comes up from downstairs, kids that I rented the place out to, they came downstairs. And they said, hey, we got an old piece of mail for you. And it was the RCMP piece, and your test mark is good enough.
Starting point is 00:56:20 We looked at it. We've lowered the qualifications, the expectations, the expectations. And you can now apply. That might be in your case. It probably isn't. I'm not trying to get your hopes up. But it probably isn't. It sounds like they've, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:56:37 I don't know. Give them a call. Maybe somebody will be able to answer the question. If I post this. Because I did a terrible attempt at answering your question, but maybe somebody will be able to answer your question. Maybe this has happened to. somebody before. Maybe they've changed the steps. Maybe they want all that documentation before you
Starting point is 00:57:00 rewrite the test. Hey, Clint. Right on, dude. Thanks for calling, Sam. I've been subscribed to your show. Love the content. Love the attitude, how you care yourself and everything. Very honest and it's a point. Just I want to grab your advice, your two cents on my situation. So got hired by the RCP, went to Depo in July. I was there until my third week. Got some pretty bad family news. Dad was really ill.
Starting point is 00:57:46 And basically I have to leave Depot and to help out with the family business a little bit. And recently reapplied, trying to make my way back as an ex-cadet. I've been pretty hard on myself about it. Just I would love to hear your thoughts. Appreciate it a lot. Keep going. Love your content. Oh, thanks.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Oh, you're welcome. Thanks, Sam. Thanks for calling, dude. What do you want me to say? She's going to kill me. You're three weeks in. You get bad news at that, but what do you do? What do you do, right?
Starting point is 00:58:40 First of all, good for you for trying to get back. Nothing's guaranteed that you're going to get back, and I hope you do get back. But man, it's hard to go through that process again, isn't it? But you're going to do it probably. And next time you get bad news at Depo, whether it's your dad or mom dying, you stay in Depo.
Starting point is 00:59:04 I know, right? What? Did you really say that? That's what you do. If you're... I don't know if I would have done it and I probably wouldn't have done it. And that's why I'm given the advice because I wish out, if this would have happened to me, I would wish that I would finish
Starting point is 00:59:28 Depot. You get there, you don't leave. I guess every circumstance is different. But if you go back and something bad happens, obviously if you have children and something bad happens to your child, you go back. You go back home. You leave Depot. But I would hope that if I was in Depot and this happened to my mom or dad, I would hope that I would stick it through no matter how hard it is, and I wouldn't leave Depo. And you don't really sucks is that you were three weeks in. Three weeks is terrible. You want to be over six weeks. That's when people leave. Week one, two, three, four, five, get over six weeks. I bet you if you were over six weeks, there's a good possibility that you would have stayed. So yeah, if you have, if I'm 10 weeks into depot and my dad's dying, tough, it's tough.
Starting point is 01:00:33 You stay, you stay and you work through it. That's what you do. I'm sorry, that's what you do. That's exactly what you do. If your mom or dad are dying, if your mom or dad are dying, you stick it out. and I hope you get back in. Thanks for calling, dude. 604-330-02512.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I've had a couple of glasses of wine down here. Am I in trouble? Don't message me. You know, don't comment. Because my parents hate it when I drink on here, and they're like, I don't know. Should you really? Doesn't it kind of destroys your credibility?
Starting point is 01:01:15 This is what I do. Not that I drink. I mean, I sit down here. And I do these episodes and sometimes I have a couple glasses of wine. I didn't mean to bring the whole bottle down. But I feel like I'm going to be in trouble when I go upstairs. I guess that's why I'm talking like this. I don't want to, I think I'm avoiding upstairs.
Starting point is 01:01:43 I should do this as a live stream. Just answer people's questions during a live stream and hang out with everybody. And honestly, I was going to cancel. I do a live stream for members only. you have to join the join button and I was going to cancel it because I just feel like I'm not giving you a I feel bad charging you money when I don't do it that often. So I started thinking the other day, I'm not going to do it anymore. And then I then all of a sudden that went out of my head and I said, how about you double down on it?
Starting point is 01:02:16 And just start doing it all the time. And that's what I've decided. Clinton Jaws. Who is this? The Buffalo Sabres guy That's been in your live stream a couple times Good guy Call me Jared

And sometimes I think that, I don't know, would I have made it through if I went through the polygraph?
Starting point is 01:03:23 But really, the polygraph. I had a polygraph guy tell me that they hardly, the interview is before the polygraph. And when they hook up the polygraph, they only ask a few questions. the blockbuster of the interviews before it excited but you know just how everything works out and you know you're working all you do and your show means a lot to me
